Highly Recommend for Rejuvenation Surgery
I most highly recommend Dr. David Morwood for any type of rejuvenation surgery. Following extensive research, including his high peer reviews, his being listed in The Best Doctors book, and extensive experience and solid education, he was my first choice. I was right! The entire experience was comfortable and actually lovely. His staff are kind, compassionate, and will help with almost any concern. Many thanks Maria and Jasmin! Every detail of what to expect was reviewed until I felt comfortable. The office is welcoming and comfortable. I'd suggest purchasing one of the several excellent books on plastic surgery by Dr. Morwood, which are beautiful and include detailed explanations and illustrations. I felt safe. This doctor is an artist and so kind that I can't imagine a better experience. Very importantly, I was nervous initially and quite surprised how his office facilitated the entire experience. It is extremely important to have that feeling of safety, compassion and trust!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Morwood and his entire team. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt genuinely cared for, not just processed like a patient on a schedule. The energy is calm, welcoming, and professional, but still warm and real. Jasmin, Maria, Evelyn, and Phyllis—the wonderful ladies on the team are all so kind, attentive, and sweet—absolute gems. They made everything feel easy from check in to follow up, and I always felt supported and reassured. My consultation experience with Dr. Morwood was very positive and enjoyable. I came in with concerns about my breast implants being firm, hard capsules that I was not happy with. He took his time, listened, and explained everything clearly from A to Z. He went over options, his recommendations, risks, and what to expect in a way that was thorough but still easy to understand. He is a great listener and gave me his full attention & time for any questions I had. I never felt rushed or judged and I left feeling informed and confident. Something that stood out to me, especially as a nurse, was how Dr. Morwood made the consult a teaching moment for his medical assistants. He explained what he was assessing, what he was thinking clinically, and why certain details mattered. That says so much about who he is. He is not only skilled, he is generous with his knowledge and he leads his team with kindness in a way that builds them up. He also has a book collection he created based on his teachings, and it is truly impressive. It is informative, beautifully put together, and filled with stunning coastal (Big Sur/Monterey) photos. They include real patient photos that help you understand what you are seeing and set realistic expectations. He also uses clear, relatable analogies that make complex concepts easy to grasp. By the time I finished reading, so many of my questions were already answered, and it was the perfect prep before my procedure. The procedure itself was an explant while I was awake under local anesthesia, and I was surprisingly calm because I felt completely safe in his hands. Dr. Morwood was gentle and communicated throughout, explaining what he was doing and what was coming next. His team was in sync and everything felt smooth and efficient. What really touched me was how thoughtful he was as a human. The night before my procedure, Dr. Morwood left me the sweetest voicemail saying he was thinking about my case and hoping I got good sleep. I have never had a doctor do that. After the procedure, he even gave me yellow roses to take home. Those gestures meant so much and really reflect the kind of care you get here. I am now a few days post op and I have had basically no pain. I have not needed painkillers, and I already feel relief in my back and overall comfort from being lighter, which was the whole reason I chose explant. I am so grateful for how smooth the entire process was. If you are considering any plastic surgery services and want someone who is skilled, honest, thorough, and genuinely caring, I recommend Dr. Morwood without hesitation. Five stars from start to finish! Thank you Dr. Morwood & his amazing team of rockstar ladies!! So much love for you all. 💜

Extremely kind, empathetic staff who are attractive and do not look like overdone Barbies or "fake." Dr. Morwood i s very knowledgeable in his ability to explain all details of surgery, aesthetic outcome, explain what each part of procedure will improve and all related information, including recovery expectations. Office is clean, efficient and pleasant. I trust the staff and definitely trust the doctor's vision. After much research, I feel comfortable that Dr. Morwood and staff will be professional, supportive and my outcome will be close to or what I hope for.

I can't even begin to express the gratitude I feel! Dr Morwood goes above and beyond when ever he is needed. He came into the ER for my 9month old son who partially amputated the tip of his middle finger and he was amazing. He put me at ease, was really good with my son, and did a perfect job for my baby. DR. MORWOOD IS OUR HERO!!! He is an outstanding surgeon.

Today was my second visit to Dr. Morwood’s Office and I was once again impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of each staff member, and by the kindness, patience, and communication from the doctor. They are definitely there for me, and to give me the best experience I can possibly have. Totally Wonderful! And as I was leaving the office, one of Dr. Morwood’s Staff handed me Three of the most exquisite white roses I have ever seen with the message. The doctor wanted you to have these.. Again, exceptional kindness. And I have no doubt that the doctor will do his very, very best for Me, as well as as for every one of his other patients
