Dr. Goldberg saved my young daughter's face from having a noticeable scar in November 2021. She fell on the school playground and had a deep cut on the outside of her face that extended to the inside of her mouth. I took her to the CHOMP ER and kindly requested a plastic surgeon to stitch her up. We were so lucky that Dr. Goldberg happened to be there at the same time and was willing to help my daughter. He has an excellent bedside manner with kids (and parents!). My daughter was scared at first, but his demeanor relaxed her. He numbed her face and stitched her up, all while being kind and warm. He took a scary situation and made it look like a piece of cake. I am beyond grateful for him. Now almost a year later and my daughter's face looks great! read more

Dr.Goldberg is an exceptional Physician whose knowledge and expertise is top notch. He is someone who you can trust to listen to you, and take care of you as if you were a family member. I recently had to have 2 unexpected biopsies done on my face. Dr. Goldberg went above and beyond to accommodate the scheduling of this appointment to coincide with another medical appointment ( only 2 days later) which required me to discontinue a medicine 5 days prior to the procedure. His kindness to accommodate me like this, kept me from having to discontinue this important medication for another 5 days at a different time. Now that's what I say is a Dr. who goes above and beyond to care for for his patients! That is the exactly the type of Dr. I want to see, and recommend to my family and friends. Thank you Dr. Goldberg and staff. Mimi Gebert read more

I would give him zero if I could. This guy is out of his mind. Botched my surgery. Over charged my insurance to pocket what he could. Tortured my in his office and belittled me and mocked me when I was screaming in pain!! Caution. Do not go to this monster read more

Dr. Goldberg saved my life! As a plastic surgeon, I doubt he gets to hear that very often. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in May, 2019 and needed the lump removed and my implants, and was referred to Dr. Michael Stuntz and Dr. Goldberg to remove my breast implants. I was a die-hard smoker, and no one enjoyed their cigarettes more than me. He told me he would NOT operate on a smoker and gave me a month to quit and get the nicotine out of my system. I had been a slave to them for over 40 years and I finally realized the time had come for me to quit. It was Dr. Goldberg's words and Dr. Stuntz. I knew I had no choice - I needed the surgery and the sooner the better, and I knew I wanted Dr. Goldberg to look after me. I went home and gave my last 2 packs to my husband and haven't had one since. I now have a beautiful pair of cancer-free breasts, and am a proud non smoker. I feel and look better than I have in years. They say to reward yourself when you quit smoking so I did just that! My cigarette money now goes on my face as I joined Dr. Goldberg's skin care center https://montereyskincare.com/ and I couldn't be happier each time I walk out the door. His friendly, professional staff are wonderful and welcoming! Bonnie Reid Camel - By -The - Sea, CA read more

David S Goldberg, MD - Medical Spas Near Me - Monterey, California

He's my guy. Been seeing him For several years for both minor and major work. Had a face and neck lift about a year and a half ago. Had complications and he was available to me in person , 7 days a week for several weeks until my issue was resolved. I see him for easy things like Botox and not so easy procedures like liposuction. The staff are superb, knowledgeable and accommodating. I have a friend in Florida who is planning on coming out to have him do work on her because of my results. read more

I know Dr. Goldberg from 2008. He did my upper eye lids with outstanding results that last until today. Also, he treated some friends of mine for breast implants or other cosmetic surgery. All of them with excellent results too. Furthermore, he is honest, he doesn't allow you to keep false expectation and he always recommend you what is the best for you not for his pocket. He is excellent!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Dr. David Goldberg was referred by a close friend who has known him for over 10 years and had nothing but great things to say about his plastic surgery skills and repeated excellent results. He also did surgery on my aunt in the year of 2000 where she had her breasts augmented. Between the two recommendations I was familiar with and others who had told me the same things. I decided to have the surgery done. For several years I have had breasts that have sagged significantly and has left me very self-conscious. One breast was lower than the other making the problem even more exacerbating and pronounced. My breasts were a D cup size. The solution to correct my breasts to look what I consider normal seemed to not be attainable with normal corrective measures. Made appointment to have Dr. Goldberg give me an initial consultation to determine what I wanted as an end result and what could be done to accomplish my goals. I assumed I would need to have implants to hold my breasts up properly. The Goldberg staff are seasoned professionals with the ability to go over any questions I had prior to the initial consult providing me with a plethora of information and were very helpful on getting the paperwork finalized. The actual consultation was very enlightening with Dr. Goldberg's recommendation to do a partial reduction, relocation of nipples and realignment of my breasts to a normal height WITHOUT implants or the additional cost of implants. He had total confidence in the procedure be the surgery of choice for me and explained it was less invasive than I thought. His staff gave me the estimated cost along with more information about the procedure. After absorbing everything I decided to have the procedure done by Dr. Goldberg. I originally setup the surgery to happen in April but later had to postpone until October because of my own conflicts. His staff again accommodated my needs and request without a problem. I had a pre-surgery physical and another visit with Dr. Goldberg to go over the procedure with me and to answer my additional questions. My actual surgery was exactly as I was told. During surgery a cyst was discovered and was removed from my right breast as part of the surgery which he took upon himself to remove. My first follow-up appointment was the next afternoon. Follow-ups occurred frequently and at no additional cost to me. The first time I saw my breasts after surgery I felt complete and no longer felt insecure and was comfortable in my own skin for the first time in my life. My breasts were swollen and had incision marks but they were still BEAUTIFULL to me. I am beyond happy with the results. Dr. Goldberg is an outstanding plastic surgeon who is willing to give honest advice that is focused on his patient's personal needs. read more

I honestly cannot believe the disappointment and lack of professionalism at this place. I was scheduled to receive a breast reduction in December of 2013. Not only did it take 8 months to even schedule because the insurance was "supposed to approve it" but they somehow lost the pictures of my visit too. I live in Los Angeles and my parents live in Monterey County and had already asked for the time off in advance, it gets worse. I finally was able to get a call from this place and get told the insurance approved the surgery so it can get booked and they schedule it for December 19th. On December 18, the receptionist calls and says, "I was out of town for a couple of days and left a note but I guess no one scheduled the surgery." I already was at work ready to drive to monterey county right after and she calls and says that. So we go back and forth over and over until she speaks to my mother later on. I'm 20 years old and under my parent's insurance and another lady goes, "I don't know whether you are coming with your daughter tomorrow or not but make sure she has the $7,500" and my mother says, "Isn't that why we waited 8 months for insurance?" and the lady goes, "We don't take insurance.".......KIDDING ME? 8 months later and your going to tell us that. This is a joke. Also the receptionists were really damn rude. I don't remember the elder lady's name or maybe she wasn't elder maybe she smoked too many cigarettes but she was the rudest of them all. You would think at a fancy place like this they would know true customer service but this was just wrong. The ladies sounded old enough to have good experience on how to treat a customer and this was ridiculous. DO NOT GO HERE. they do not care for your procedure or make you feel comfortable whatsover. I was barely told of the process at all. SO i went to a new surgeon in Santa Cruz and meet her once and she's ready to schedule it next week. Not waiting 8 months for nothing. And if any of the receptionists are reading this I want to you thank you for your disgusting ways of handling business because whether I was paying with insurance or out of pocket I still should be treated just as equally as anyone else. Thank you for having me waste 8 months of continuous back problems and pain for a surgery that I thought was worth waiting for, instead of actually never happening. P.S I'm not the type to complain on yelp I actually only signed up just to complain about here lol I don't know if the surgeon is good, however the receptionists really need training on customer service because there behavior is so unprofessional I don't even know how they even got hired here read more

Dr. Goldberg is a great surgeon and his staff is awesome. My experience was very good. Dr. Goldberg is one of those rare MD's that makes you feel that you matter with a deft combination of humor and sincerity. Happy-Happy. read more

DO NOT GO TO HIM FOR EXPLANT REMOVAL. After months of illness from BII I went to him. I did extensive research and my first question was if he would do an En bloc-capsulectomy- this is the gold standard and should be done in all explant cases when possible. He assured me he would. If he had said no or maybe, I would have walked out and found another surgeon. He was very patient and kind and I booked the surgery date. Prior to surgery I told his office manager I wanted to keep the old implants and send them to a lab for testing. This would help me recover if I knew what I was sick from- mold, titanium, etc. She said she would tell him. I was told my surgery would last several hours. When I woke up in the recovery room my husband said it was only about an hour. My heart sank, I knew that was not possible for an enbloc done correctly. The tissue around the old capsule needs to be scraped to try to get all the chemicals out of the body and even into the arm pits and down by the ribs. The next morning he had me go to his office all groggy. I stated I wanted to keep the drains as long as possible. The normal amount of time is 7-10 days. They drain any chemicals left behind out of your body. As I was talking, his assistant just pulled them out. No asking, no telling me! I asked to see my implants. He told me he threw them away and showed me a photo on his cell phone. They could have been anyone's implants and on a cell phone. He did not even write down the serial number, so I could see if they were recalled. I left very upset. At my next follow up, I wanted to talk with him alone for a few minutes to be clear on what he did do. I waited an hour and a half, while he shuffled patients in for fillers and botox. He was clearly avoiding me and I had paid him, so I was of no use to him. When I did finally see him, he gave me two minutes and was standing with the door open. He said he did not want to hurt me by scraping and did not do the enbloc. I left shocked and very aware I was scammed and had a difficult road ahead. Fast forward three years later. Still dealing with rashes, pain and blotches that look like chemical burns under one breast. Have been advised the only way to heal is to go back in to surgery and have a honest, competent surgeon scrape tissue and send it off for testing. He assured me he left no residue, with no scraping, and said if I found any in an MRI he would go back in. Even I knew that an MRI would not show chemical residue on body tissue. He assumes far too little of his patients. I requested all of my records, and there were no photos of the implants, no serial number for them (also suggested) and no mention or reason of choosing not to do an Enbloc. I now have to go through the stress and pain of another surgery and pay out of pocket once again. For thousands of dollars, he cut me open, popped them out and sewed me up in less than an hour. Go to a surgeon who will do it correctly the first time and stand by their work. I cannot undo the pain, frustration and illness that he left me with, his complete lack of respect, the thousands of dollars I paid him, or the fact that I need another surgery now, but I can prevent someone else from having to go through this. read more

You want the absolute BEST plastic surgeon? Dr. Goldberg is the most caring physician I've ever been to. I recently underwent a major surgical procedure with Dr. Goldberg at CHOMP and I've never received better care in my life. He is precise, understanding, he listens, his staff is amazing, and I can't recommend anyone who cares more than Dr. Goldberg. You will be very happy you chose him. read more

I had breast implants removed by Dr. Goldberg. When he reconstructed my breast, one of the nipples faced my axilla - way off to the side! If I were single, I would see a different surgeon to correct this; however, my husband is ok with the way it is. I would not recommend this surgeon; NOT AT ALL. read more

I adore Dr.Goldberg , he is the most honest and kind Plastic Surgeon I have ever been to !!! I have been to more plastic surgeons than I would like to admit for a person my age . I have been to more PS's who try to push unnecessary surgery out of nothing less than pure greed .They don't see a vulnerable woman(like myself) trying desperately to hang onto their youth , fearing that your worth as a human being will be be diminished. Dr.Goldberg genuinely cares about his patients and their well being , he will never steer you wrong ! The Office is beautiful and relaxing and his receptionists are so incredibly sweet and kind. I have been to the so called " best plastic surgeons on the East and West coast", one who was willing to give a 25 year me a complete face lift . I realized a few days after my PMS was over that I that might I might look strange ,also the receptionist almost passed out when I was scheduling my appointment read more

He was great with me as well. I had to have leaking implants replaced, excellent job.

I am one of a few patients that received stomach lipo from him and got dents in my stomach. He told a lady and myself who later talked about how he deformed our bodies and he blamed it on us wearing jeans after. Well I don't wear jeans! He should not be doing smart lipo. read more

Dr. Goldberg is such an amazingly talented and caring surgeon. I have seen Dr. Goldberg and his staff for 3 years now for ongoing skin treatments. When I received a chemical peel recently I was amazed at the wonderful follow up he and his lovely staff members, like Tiffany provided. He called that night to check on my comfort and also was quick to respond when I had questions about my progress. He even asked me to send him daily pictures to help monitor my progress. This beautiful office is welcoming, caring, and always professional. I will call this place home for my skin treatments for a long time. Thank you Dr. Goldberg and staff!! read more

STAY AWAY from Dr David Goldberg...he's a rip off artist. I went to this doctor in Monterey for a simple IPL and a few shots of Botox and fillers. He was a super nice guy, great office staff. After meeting and talking to him,...he had me sold, great personality, offered a few procedures that I would have gone back to him for....BUT... I've had 15 IPL's over the years. I know all about getting a good one and getting a bad one. His office told me it was $700.00 for doing my face, neck, chest and hands. I pay $500 for my regular doctors in Orange County and Palm Desert. In addition, Medicare pays for them after age 65 for pre cancer treatment. After the IPL procedure, he gave me a few shots of Botox and fillers. Normally, for his services I would pay somewhere between $1200-$1600.00. I got up to the front desk to pay my bill and it was the total bait and switch. My bill was .....FORTY TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS! By the time I got home, I had the worst bruises I've ever had from any procedure I've ever had done and I've had many. In addition, I could tell when he was jamming in the shots, I could hear the corpuscles burst ...I knew I was going to be bruised but geezus...never dreamed I would have 7 deep dark black bruises that lasted 3 weeks. On top of that I had absolutely NO RESULTS from the IPL...no redness whatsoever, and I didn't peal even the slightest over the next week. On top of that, when the areas he gave me shots in healed, I am now left with hard knots in my face like bumps under my skin where he put the shots in. I went by his office the next day to show them what a mess they had made of my face and the office staff looked stunned and took pictures to show the doctor. They wanted me to come back and see the doctor. REALLY, why waste my time and exactly for what purpose...so he could profess what a great doctor he was. He called me the next day and stood firmly behind his GREAT work, bragged for 5 minutes what a fabulous doctor he was and had been doing it for over 20 years. I told him to look at the pictures his staff had taken of all the bruising...no comment. I told him I had absolutely not one bit of a result from an IPS...he told me that he had informed me that he had do to a series of IPL's for results. What bs...I get them every 3-4 months, I turn red and peal...NOPE...this doctor is all about the WHOLLY DOLLAR. No other doctor I've been to ever told me I would need multiple treatments to see any results. Ive' had 2 bad IPL's out of 15. One from DermX. When I called Derm X and told them I got no result, they explained that lasers had to be turned regularly and sometimes need a tuning. They insisted I returned and did another fabulous IPS at no charge. With Dr "God" Goldberg (what he thinks of himself),...he wanted me to return only to charge me another fee. I would NEVER go back to this fraud. I'm a golfer and play team golf. I sat with the team ladies with my bruised face 2 days out and listened to 3 other ladies from Monterey Pennisula Country Club, TEHAMA CC, and QUAIL CC who all said the same thing about Dr Goldberg. They too had horrible or no results and got the same bs from the doctor when they confronted him. He told them come back, I'll redo you...for another fee. One of the ladies did go back for a re-do not knowing he was going to charge her again. He doesn't stand behind his work...its all about the dollars with this guy. Good luck ladies...STAY AWAY. There's good places to go in Monterey for IPS's and he's not one of them. read more

Recently got Juvaderm injections under eye and in upper lip. Dr. Goldberg, whom I have a secret crush on was great! Gentle, nice, complimentary and handsome as always. His staff is very attentive and helpful. The price is steep $620 for one syringe but you pay for what you get, and when it comes to needles and chemicals being shot into my undereyes and lips, well I'm not up for taking chances and neither should you, so go with the best. read more

Dr.Goldberg is a skilled surgeon who makes sure his patients are safe, well cared for and informed. Procedures are explained to you in detail, so that when you go into surgery, your expectations are realistic, and you know exactly what to expect. The office and staff is beautiful, comfortable, and the level of care is top notch. I always feel well cared for and my feelings and concerns are valued and heard. I would recommend this practice and will never go anywhere else. read more

I went to an evening presentation and was very impressed with Dr. Goldberg's approach regarding the cosmetic procedures he performs in his office. His staff is professional and knowledgable. I have had most of my contact with his clinical esthetician, Carol, who is wonderful. If you are looking for a fabulous treatment, go see Carol. She has that special quality of making you feel cared for pampered, and educated! Your skin will never have looked so good, no matter your age!!!! read more

Dr. Goldberg has been my go-to plastic surgeon since his arrival on the Peninsula fifteen years ago. Even after moving out of the area, I still make the trip to Monterey to see him because he's definitely worth the trip. Not only is he a gifted surgeon, but he's also a terrific person, possessing great wit, humility and a heartfelt concern for the well-being of others. After many years of going to Dr. Goldberg for quick fixes such as Botox and fillers, gravity finally took its toll and an upper blepharoplasty (the rest of my face is a work in progress) was scheduled after a very thorough and informative consultation with him. Afterward, I worked with Dr. Goldberg's staff through multiple work-related cancellations on my part. They never missed a beat and even arranged for a very late afternoon in-clinic surgical appointment so I could be at my office most of the day. During the surgery I wanted very mild sedation, which a lot of surgeons would probably not care to oblige, as they might feel that a good patient is an asleep patient. Regardless, Dr. Goldberg made sure I was both calm and comfortable, communicating with me often during the painless procedure. Surgical nurse Pat was there assisting Dr. Goldberg, which was wonderful, as I adore her. Afterward, I could have driven myself home - honestly, I felt that good. In the days following, I did not experience any bruising and returned to work three days later. And, by-the-way, my eyes look fabulous! I highly recommend Dr. Goldberg to anyone wanting to achieve a natural, beautiful aesthetic result. Over the years I have seen many outstanding surgical results by Dr. Goldberg (e.g. liposuction, tummy-tuck, face-lift, breast augmentation). In addition to cosmetic procedures, Dr. Goldberg is also quite well-known for complicated reconstructive work. His office team is warm and friendly, as is the built environment, which is filled with plush resort-style furniture in earthy textured hues, dotted with fresh flower arrangements and lots of current reading material - though I have never been kept waiting long enough to need to read or partake in the added perks of tea, coffee, citrus-infused water and healthy snacks. Patients are friendly with one another and quick to share stories about their positive or anticipated outcomes. The aesthetic skin center is very popular among the Peninsula's perfect-skin set. While there, be sure to check out the small office with an entire wall dedicated to Dr. Goldberg's family pictures. Absolutely adorable! read more

Dr. Goldberg is the most amazing plastic surgeon on the Monterey Peninsula, he has magic hands. Two months ago I had a full facelift and I can't find enough words to say how pleased I am. In the weeks preceding my surgery he patiently and calmly answered all my question and explained exactly what he was going to do. Dr. Goldberg's follow up was incredible checking on me every few days in the office for the first week and once a week for the next month to make sure that I was completely satisfied and happy with the results, which I definitely was !!! All of my girlfriends were incredibly impressed by his amazing work. In fact one scheduled her appointment for a facelift shortly after mine and is now recovering beautifully. I also want to say his staff were phenomenal, friendly, caring, knowledgeable and extremely pleasant to work with. Thanks a million, Dr. Magic! read more

Right from the start my experiences with Dr Goldberg were amazing! His caring demeanor and how genuine he was, not to mention all of his extensive knowledge in the area of breast augmentation. He made making a life changing decision very easy. He is the best Surgeon on the Peninsula. He gave me exactly what I wanted and his staff was phenomenal as well. Everyone there is just so nice and down to earth. One lady in particular named Connie really took the time to talk with me and make sure I was comfortable and got everything taken care of and answered before my surgery. Dr Goldberg is truly an artist at what he does. He takes his time to make sure to give you optimum results and what you want! One of my favorite things about him was he made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire experience and even post op! So happy to have found him and his staff!!! Thank you! read more

Dr. Goldberg is one of the finest plastic surgeons! Our family cannot thank him enough for the knowledge, support and guidance he gave our family when our son was in a devastating accident. He was there from day one giving us guidance to help us through this very scary time.

I've been getting Botox for 15 years this doctor is the best at Botox it lasts the longest and he puts it exactly where you need it. He won't do things just for money, he explains everything to you and lets you know what is right for you I couldn't be happier with this office and doctor read more

Can't say enough about Dr. Goldberg! He is kind and caring and his staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

Dr Goldberg was the on call surgeon when I was involved in an accident that required a plastic surgeon. I was appalled by his HORRIFIC bedside manner and ego. His office failed to return numerous calls to schedule my follow up appointment. In fact they NEVER CALLED ME BACK. I would never recommend this clinic or doctor. In my experience with plastic surgeons, this is the worst. I was apparently too vague in my initial review so let me remind Dr. Goldberg of the specifics of my treatment. When I asked for general anesthesia Dr. Goldberg said no. Then I asked for something to calm my anxiety before having four deep and severe laceration to my face sewn up, he agreed to Ativan. But instead of waiting for the anesthesiologist to administer it Dr. Goldberg went at my face repeatedly with a needle of Lidocaine. I am not sure how that constitutes exceptional care or professional manner. Additionally I was VERY clear in my ONE conversation w/your office that I was able to be flexible for my follow up appointment and then never heard back, even after repeated voicemails. I am fairly confident the only reason after 16 days I received any communication from your office was an attempt to save face in light of this review. read more

Just went with my wife for a post-surgical follow-up appointment with Dr. Goldberg. While undergoing any cosmetic surgery can be stressful, not only to the patient but also their spouse, Dr. Goldberg spelled everything out so clearly and realistically. From the initial consult, to the procedure day, and the attentive follow-ups, my wife and I have both been extremely satisfied with the results as well as Dr. Goldberg and his staff's professionalism......highly recommend this office. read more

Dr. Goldberg and his staff are so kind and welcoming. I was pretty nervous and they were very understanding and able to make me feel very comfortable. I am so happy with not only the outcome of my surgery but the entire staff and atmosphere of the office. I will be going back! read more

I was referred to Dr Goldberg by several family members who were very happy not only with his work, but with his demeanor and staff. His professionalism, experience and attention to detail inspire confidence and make patients comfortable. In addition, the office staff is friendly and efficient, always following up when needed! read more

Had a surgery, mini-face lift, and Dr. Goldberg made a terrible mistake. Left me with wide scars and uneven ears. When I continued to ask him why was I looking like that, he rudely raised his voice and said he had made a mistake and that was all. He then told me he did not want to see me again. This was about three months after the surgery and I thankfully found another doctor to do the follow-up. All this marketing he does about caring for his patients and how competent he is is a load of crap. Now I have to wait a year before I can have another surgery to try to fix what he did to me. I strongly urge you to do your research on plastic surgeons and I definitely wouldn't recommend Dr Goldberg to anyone. I learned my lesson the hard way. Beware! read more

My mother was a patient of Dr. Goldberg and had a very very bad experience with him. His bedside manners are bad. He is rude and unprofessional. I understand that UCLA is a teaching hospital, but when the doctor came into the room we were in he didn't ask if it was okay for the interns to be in the room with us and he didn't introduce them to us. When the appointment with him was over he told the intern to "practice his Spanish with us." That was uncalled for, for I am a Spanish teacher at a high school. Dr. Goldberg should be the one practicing his Spanish and his manners with the patients. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DOCTOR TO ANYONE. My mother and I were very upset at that visit. The good thing was that the office manager and the reception girls were very polite after seeing us so distraught. read more

Dr. Goldberg performed a mini-facelift on me in December, 2013, and may I just say, I am a very happy woman!! He took his time with me prior to the surgery, letting me know the details and all of my options. He really listened to me and took into consideration all of my concerns and what outcome I was hopeful for. I still see the doctor every 3 months for my little dose of botox and go in for my regular facials to maintain the fitness of my skin. Dr. Goldberg and his staff are phenomenal at educating his patients about skin maintenance and how to prevent further damage. I am a very happy 42 year old woman who has been given back the confidence to smile in pictures with her family again. Thank you Dr. Goldberg and staff!!!! read more

He really screwed up my breast reconstruction after cancer. He said he could fix it if I paid him a bunch more money. I told him I was very unhappy and he acted like that's what he hears all day every day. I met another breast cancer survivor who also had major issues with him. She also took it up with him with the same result. read more
