I went to Dr Morwood for a fairly minor procedure. I found him and his staff to be welcoming and considerate. I felt appreciated as a patient and was consulted each step of the way. read more

I reviewed many Botox treatment centers in the Monterey area. I chose David Morewood. Unfortunately, it was a big mistake. Dr. Morewood has a wonderful staff of professional women. Dr. Morewood has a great inviting personality. In the end, it was all smoke and mirrors. I received a botox treatment. There was zero improvement over days, weeks, and months of having received the treatment. The cost was 750.00. I contacted the office and received no compassion and no regard for the fact that I received zero improvement. I was reminded that I signed forms that there was no guarantee the process would work. I will give 2 stars for the staff and Dr. morewood hospitality and bedside manner... no stars for my results. read more

Dr. Morwood is wonderful! He performed a Natural Neck Lift on me back in December 2017 and it still looks wonderful now in 2025! I went to see him yesterday because I'm turning 70 this year and thought I might need a little freshening up. He gave me his honest opinion as he always has, that he didn't feel that I needed anything but a little Botox in a couple of areas. Now, I was ready to pull the trigger and do something much more invasive, he literally had me in the palm of his hand, but his honesty amazed me! So not only did I avoid having a major surgery at this time, but I am very happy with the results from his just using a needle instead of a scalpel! Not to mention he saved me thousands of dollars! Dr. Morwood is extremely honest and truly cares about his patients whether it be a returning patient like me or a brand new patient. You can tell that he's not a doctor who's basically in it for the money, he truly cares about you and wants to give you the best possible outcome for the least amount of money and down time from going through a surgery. I can't possibly say enough great things about him. I feel very fortunate to have found him back in 2017 and to have him still practicing now. If you're considering having a consultation with him, do it! You won't be sorry! read more

I went to see Dr. Morwood in June of last year. I was amazed at the attentiveness and respect I received from the entire staff. I am beyond happy with my results, and wish I could post a picture. I would definitely recommend Dr. Morwood to anyone looking for or needing plastic surgery. He was actually the first surgeon I called, and I am so glad I did. read more

I wouldn't trust any other plastic surgeon to do anything on me but Dr Morewood. He's professional and conservative on work. He wants you to look like your best self, not totally different. He actually takes a lot time to completely look you over. So maybe when he's staring at you it makes people uncomfortable. But he's through. Making the best judgment call on what he thinks is best for you. He's a professional doctor, not your best friend..... or trying to smooze you over. I looked at the results I have seen in the people he has done and that was my determining factor. Yes there are others to choose from, but who wants to go back and redo in 10 yrs?? Call and make that appointment for your face. He's the best. read more

I love Dr.Morwood. I had a boob job a little over 10 years ago and they are still amazing. He's friendly and professional. I would trust him with any cosmetic surgery I needed. He's an absolutely amazing plastic surgeon. read more

A couple weeks ago, while trying to get something in a cabinet, I fell off a ladder and my right hand went through the kitchen window. I went to the ER, and instead of patching me up and sending me to my PCP to get a referral, Dr. Roxas from CHOMP made calls to a couple of doctors to see who is available ASAP, as I severed the tendon and nerves between my thumb and pointer. I had no feeling in my right hand where it was cut. After a few hours in the ER, I was told that Dr. Morwood would be seeing me, and I saw Dr. Morwood the following day. After a consult with Dr. Morwood, he scheduled my surgery to be a few days later. Consultation: Danielle and Patty are very sweet and professional ladies. Dr. Morwood was very informative, even gave me, Danielle and Patty a lesson on flexor and extensor tendons, which I very much appreciated. I asked how long the surgery would take, and he said he did not want to give me an estimate, and that he doesn't look at the time while doing surgery as he wants to take his time and not be "rushed". Surgery: I remember going in the pre-op area at the MPSC, seeing Dr. Morwood briefly, he told me he would be seeing me soon, and then I was wheeled away to the surgery room. After transferring to the table, the Anesthesiologist told me exactly what she was going to do... I blinked 3 times and I was out like a light. I woke up in the recovery area 3.5 hrs later and everything was done. Now, 1 week after surgery, I can feel my whole hand again (although 2 days after surgery I was wishing he didn't repair the nerves because it hurt like a SOB!). The pain has subsided significantly, and in 2 days, I get the splint removed so he can check on the healing of my hand. I see how a lot of posts talk about Dr. Morwood's "bedside manners"... Your doctor is your doctor. He is there to make sure you are taken care of. Fix what has been broken. Doctors take their work very seriously. They're not there to hold your hand or coddle you when you're hurt. He's there to fix you and send you on your way.... as he has other patients to tend to. All I can say about Dr. Morwood is that I'm glad he did the surgery on my hand, he is very professional and straight to the point. He will not talk to you if his back is turned as he wants to give you his undivided attention when you speak. If you think he has bad "bedside manners", maybe you all need to grow up and stop being so sensitive. read more

I am a senior, a 70+male, and decided to have a "neck lift" because my grandchildren began referring to the excess skin on my neck below my chin as my "turkey gobbler." I am somewhat of a purest and didn't really like the idea of cosmetic surgery. However, my experience with Dr. Morwood and his staff (particularly his assistant, Patty) changed my mind about such procedures. Today, I have a very healthy looking neck and jaw and no laughs whatsoever from two adoring grandchildren. My wife in particular likes my new and younger look. So do it. Thanks Dr. Morwood. You and your staff are terrific. read more

Dr. Morwood saved the functionality of my hand. I was lucky to have him as my surgeon. He went above and beyond to make sure I was doing well after the procedure. I'm very grateful for his help. read more

In July of 2009 I was visiting Monterey with my family. On the morning we were heading to the aquarium my then 4 year old daughter had her left index finger crushed in the door jam of one of those heavy hotel room doors that is on a spring to keep it closed. A horrifying scramble to find the closest emergency room ensued. This was the Monterey Community Hospital. Dr. Morwood was called to the hospital to see my daughter and make a recommendation. We opted to have Dr. Moorwood repair the damage rather than drive to San Jose or San Francisco. The finger tip was almost completely severed. I held my daughter's other hand while Dr. Moorwood worked and it took all my strength not to break down as the reality that she might lose part of her hand crossed my mind. We left the hospital with the names of some doctors in San Francisco to have follow ups with in case it needed further repair but both doctors said no additional work was need. Four month's latter it was completely healed (the nail fell off of course and grew back) and there was no visible scar. See the photos I uploaded. My wife and I still shudder at the thought of this day: a parental nightmare. We are so incredibly thankful for the work Dr. Morwood did that day. read more

Two weeks ago, Dr. Morwood performed a breast reduction surgery on me and I am so please with the results! He was very thorough in explaining what I could expect and his staff are wonderful. Even just 2 weeks out, I am just thrilled! Wish I had done this long ago.... Pat W. read more

Dr morwood Belittles you Makes you feel Like you are inadequate Just because you want information on the procedures Staff is great Terrible bedside manner In the beginning of the visit he seems to be very nice by the end I realized he's just a very good actor That is after you've signed his paperwork and paid Waste of time waste of money do you not go !!! read more

Dr. Morwood and his staff have taken wonderful care of me for years, seeing me through some very trying health issues. First breast reconstruction with fat grafting following breast cancer. Currently I'm being treated with Botox to the masseter muscles to control bruxism. Dr. Morwood is highly skilled and his patient's health is his top priority. I recommend Dr. Morwood without reservation. read more

I had a very successful liposuction procedure from Dr. Morwood and staff! Excellent customer care, I never felt judged or embarrassed, my results are excellent and Dr. Morwood is very thorough with the follow up appointments for months afterward. I finally have the waistline I've always dreamed of. I am very thankful and would highly recommend him! read more

I would give a zero rating but its not an option. I saw Mr. Morwood in 2003 for cosmetic surgery. Breast augmentation to be exact. My experience was great up until my post op follow up. I expressed my concerns about my results and that there was something wrong. He dismissed it, blamed it on swelling and sent me on my way. I returned wks later for another visit to express my dissatisfaction with the end result. Not only did he fail to acknowledge there was asymmetry, his narcissistic attitude made me feel he didn't give a crap what I thought. If you let this man touch you just pray the end result is what you wanted because if not you're pretty much screwed. I wouldn't recommend this man to any friend, family OR acquaintance. read more

I had a neck lift with some fat grafting done to my face by Dr Morwood in April, 2017. The neck lift was beautiful, and I could not have been more pleased. There was an issue with the fat grafting procedure, and I'm sorry to say that I had the same experience as Momma GT from 2016. There was an obvious error and incomplete procedure. At first he assured me that he understood and would touch up the area and that he wanted me to be happy with the results. He wanted to wait until the swelling was down before repeating the procedure. When the swelling went down he told me that he had done nothing wrong and that I just was unhappy with the results. I am really sad to say that the relationship deteriorated to the point that I am having the correction made with another surgeon. The neck lift turned out beautifully, and I believe Dr Morwood is a very gifted and talented surgeon. I would have returned for additional work and would have had complete trust in the results. I would have recommended his work without reservation. It is unfortunate that the follow up did not match the quality of the initial procedure. read more

Dr. Morwood did my breast implants 9 years ago and they still look amazing. I get compliments all the time. They look and feel real. I recommend him to my friends and they all are happy with his work as well. read more

Dr. Morwood is undoubtedly the best! He and his office staff make you feel welcome and relaxed from the first time you meet them! Dr. Morwood is an expertise in his field of work and I have had all the confidence in him to know what is right for me! I have referred several friends and family members to him and they to feel as I do! He is my Dr. but I love calling him my friend! read more

I know it's always an issue with liability and Dr. Morwood would not say so himself, but I'm willing to go on the record and say that if he isn't a miracle worker, he is about as close as humanly possible. After seven months of dealing with an infected ankle, I was finally referred to Dr. Morwood to clear up the infection and do a skin graft to close up an old wound. I have zero doubts as to Dr. Morwood's efficacy or ability to help bring about the right kind of change for his clients and if you are considering any sort of reconstructive surgery, I would strongly urge you to speak to Dr. Morwood. read more

Dr. Morwood and his staff are extremely kind and professional. I am quite satisfied with my surgeries that were done a month ago. Dr. Morwood is thorough and caring. His staff makes me feel welcomed, special, and appreciated. Bill S. read more

I recently had a neck lift performed by Dr. Morwood. He had done a modified tummy tuck for me about 10 years ago and I was very satisfied at that time so it was natural to go back to him for this procedure. I've seen some bad neck lifts where the jaw and mouth area look very stretched and I was concerned about that. I talked to Dr. Morwood about it several times and he listened well because I don't have any of that look. Now, three months later I have the neck I envisioned and I feel like it looks very natural. And I don't think anyone would suspect that I'd had any work done. That's the perfect outcome. Plus, all the staff is extremely nice, Dr. Morwood is calm and reassuring. The experience the day of the surgery was relaxed but professional. The anesthesiologist spent time addressing my concerns and so I went into the surgery feeling confident in the team. The follow up care has been good too. I feel confident recommending Dr. Morwood and the rest of his wonderful staff. read more

First, and foremost, I'm very happy with the end results of my procedures with Dr Morwood. When you take your lifelong desires into someone's hands, it's nerve wracking and scary. You pay a lot. You sweat a lot. You make lots of pre-op appointments. You seek reassurance that your body will behave properly during and after surgery. You Google all sorts of questions every day, multiple times a day when you can't contact your doctor for whatever reason and take reassurance in others' successes. It's a lot to take in. Dr. Morwood and staff excel at all of these concerns. I was scheduled for 3, maybe 4 pre op appts just to make sure that everything was a go, which is very validating and comforting, again, when you are going to go under the knife for hours. The coordination of the surgery center was a little difficult due to the length of my procedure- by no fault of anyone else's. All matters were still handled professionally by staff. The day of surgery was a blur-- honestly-- how can anyone really objectively rate such a scary morning? You're either on calming meds, really tired, starving, numb or just damn scared. As long as you make it to the OR without incident, you're good. Post-op is miserable no matter what you have done or who you get it done with. You hate your surgeon for a few days and really regret everything you've done because you are swollen and sore and look tore up. There was a small complication (by no fault of anyone's) with one of my procedures and I saw Dr Morwood about 6 times within 2 weeks post op to ensure my healing was happening. This is outstanding service, especially coming in at 630am before his day even started, as I had to head out of town for a few days. Overall, what I envisioned was what Dr Morwood thought would be good for me, too. He made some other suggestions and I accepted them and trusted that I would benefit from those suggestions, which I totally did. My outcome was perfectly on par. Why he may not be good for you: I saw some reviews saying his bedside manner isn't stellar. My take on that is I'd rather have someone tell me the truth, know how to perform surgery, have a similar opinion to what my desires are, be practical in my healing process, and know how to treat any complications post op. If you need someone to hold your hand, sweet talk you, and do therapy with you, this is not the doctor. In fact, you probably shouldn't be getting surgery. If you are well educated in the areas of what you are desiring he do for you, you will be just fine. In all honesty, I've spent HOURS with Dr Morwood and have had great conversations with him. He does have bedside manners, but, just like anything else, you're not always going to make everyone happy. I do and have recommended him to people I know. When I asked around to some select friends, his name was the first to come up. In the post op process, I also found out that a friend of mine had surgery with him months prior (he's so good at what he does, I couldn't even tell that she'd been operated on!). So, his name will live on in referral land regardless of negative reviews. read more

I had a mastectomy followed by a breast implant. I am very pleased with the results! Even more important is how attentive Dr. Morwood was to my overall care. His office staff was also great, especially Danielle and Chantal. It has been a good experience to be cared for and to have my needs met. I can highly recommend Dr. Morwood to anyone needing reconstructive surgery or wanting to enhance their appearance! read more

It is with great pleasure that I write this review for Dr. David Morwood. I first met Dr. Morwood in 2004 when I was seeking plastic surgery for breast reconstruction after having a surgery for breast cancer. We came up with a plan using tissue expanders that would take a few months to prepare for. In the middle of my treatments I found out I had tested positive for the BRCA1 breast cancer gene. This changed things for me. After genetic counseling and much discussion with my family and doctors I decided to have a preventative double mastectomy and hysterectomy. Dr. Morwood worked closely with my 2 other doctors to prepare me for the huge surgery that awaited. I basically had 3 surgeries back to back. Hysterectomy, bilateral mastectomy, and reconstruction. Dr. Morwood and his staff became almost like family during that time as I had weekly appointments for months in preparations for implants. In July 2018 I was once again in Dr. Morwood's office seeking his help. All my experiences with both Dr. Morwood and his staff have exceeded my expectations. I have always been treated with respect & the best care. And I haven't even mentioned the results, which were amazing. Dr. Morwood is nothing short of exceptional. Extremely professional and a master at his craft. He truly cares about his patients. You would be hard pressed to find a more talented and caring surgeon than Dr. Morwood. read more

Recently, I have been a patient of Dr David Morwood for some extensive face and neck cosmetic "tweaking" and he is a first class Plastic Surgeon. He has many years of experience, keeps up on the latest techniques, has very skillful hands, an extremely understanding and warm "bedside manner", has a very knowledgable and helpful staff and because I live in SF and was not local, he checked in with me post op by phone often in-between my follow up appointments in Monterey to make sure I was ok and healing properly. He spends a lot of time with you in your initial consultation to make sure he is clear about the results you are looking for..and he gave me great advice. After interviewing 3 Plastic Surgeons in SF, I went to him because 2 San Francisco based friends used him to do their cosmetic work and were very pleased with their results. I brought along my friend, who owners a wellness facial treatment spa for over 20 years and is connected with several Plastic Surgeons in the Bay area. She was so impressed with his consultative manner and my results that she herself is going to do her cosmetic surgery with him. He has a 5 star practice for sure. Happy SF client!! read more

Experienced, knowledgeable, talented. Had cosmetic surgery on my neck/eyes one year ago and it went very well, and I am extremely pleased with the results. Staff = kind and helpful. I would recommend him! The only downside was my expectations on recovery--I did not expect to have vision impairment (due to the antibiotic salve) in my eyes, and I was not expecting such a long recovery. Not necessarily his or the staff's fault, I take responsibility for not doing my research. All went well, and I love the results! read more

3 months ago Dr. Morwood performed a neck lift for me, I could not be more pleased. He instills complete confidence before the surgery because of his attention to detail. I went into the procedure completely sure I was in the best hands. His staff is welcoming and extremely professional. I cannot thank them enough for my renewed confidence. read more

I had surgery with Dr. Morwood in 2015 I did a breast augmentation and a tummy tuck. About three weeks after my surgery my breast started to create what is called a double bubble, Meaning my the implant was underneath my natural breast line. i had mention this to Dr. Morwood and he said to let my breast heal a little more and maybe it will move. it never moved! it never healed correctly! till this day i still have a double bubble! a year later i visited Morwood asking him if theres any way he can fix the mistake that has happened and he said he would but he would have to charge me again! i thought that was the most disrespectful thing he could have said! at that point i knew he wasn't there for my best interest! he was there for the money! i wouldn't recommend him to any one, there surgeons out there that do a better job and cheaper! if you haven't seen his work or if you you are thinking of going to him i suggest you do your homework before thinking about going to him. i unfortunately didn't. and on my tummy tuck he left skin that needed to be removed! i don't know if he just didn't care or ran out of time but he did an amateur job. i regret going to him. and i wouldn't give him any more of money! i wouldn't go to him if he did it for free! read more

Exceptional. - among the best in his field. After painstakingly interviewing several plastic surgeons to remove and replace ancient breast implants it was clear that Dr. Morwood was not only technically above and beyond the rest, but that he lives and breathes a commitment to providing his "best work" each and every time he performs surgery. I was and am so pleased with the procedure, his skills and care (and his staff and overall operation) that I went back for more! At 62 I became dissatisfied with the appearance of my neck and chin line. After multiple consultations and careful planning, Dr. Morwood refreshed my appearance in an amazingly natural-looking way. I am now less than two months post-op and the results are exactly what I hoped for. I don't look "done" - I can now look down onto my tablet or cell phone without cringing - I'm delighted! I recommend Dr. Morwood and his wonderful staff without hesitation. If you would like to connect directly with me to answer questions, leave your number with his staff and I will be pleased to give you a call! Jill R. read more
