I went to Dr. Morganroth on 02/20/26 for a full body scan that I routinely need following melanoma surgery some years ago. Even though he was not yet in my current Medicare plan, he performed the scan thoroughly and made valuable follow-up recommendations, charging a fee that was very generously discounted. My impression of Dr. Morganroth is that he is experienced, communicative, and helpful to a fault. He clearly enjoys helping patients and making them feel comfortable. His office staff was welcoming and efficient. Brian read more

Morganroth Greg, MD - Their snack cart in the waiting room! They also have a freezer filled with ice cream bars and treats! - Doctors Near Me - Palo Alto, California

Great surgery on the face, The surgery has tuned out great and has healed very good. Office has handled it well.

I have been a Dr Greg Morganroth patient for skin checks and MOHs surgery for 20+ years. He is an amazingly skilled and experienced Dermatologist & MOHs surgeon and has saved my nose twice now. The last time he had to take a skin graft and chose the skin from inside the ear because it was the best match--no one else would take the time to do that!. He has a new office and great staff, lab on site. If you want the very best care and outcome, go to Morganroth! read more

2/12/26...today Dr. Morganroth performed MOHS surgery on my facial squamous cell carcinoma. 5 weeks ago he performed MOHS surgery on my facial basal cell carcinoma. I have never had facial carcinoma so this was all a first. I have very fair skin being of Irish descent, so have quite a bit of sun damage in my senior years. Dr. Morganroth, and his Staff, are fantastic. They made me feel very comfortable and well cared for. He has a really "cool" office (new Palo Alto) with special treats for his patients and even a small freezer with ice cream. A very kind and compassionate man. I will be his patient the rest of my life. Thank you Dr. M. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Morganroth since 1998. He is simply the BEST. I have very light "Irish" skin and am very susceptible to skin cancer. Over the years I have had many Mohs surgeries and excisions. Dr. Morganroth, Michelle Quinn, and all of the other folks take really good care of me. Everyone in the practice is both excellent and caring. Palo Alto Dermatology Institute (PADI) has now moved to their new location in Palo Alto. It is spectacular. PADI is like no other medical office. The waiting area is like a living room with artwork to enjoy and admire. The furniture is extremely comfortable and pleasant. There are snacks and ICE CREAM - even Fudgesicles. PADI has taken medicine to a whole new level. I cannot give enough praise to Dr. Morganroth and PADI. I am a patient for life. read more

I followed Dr. Morganroth over from his Los Altos Clinic to his new clinic in Palo Alto. I found the new clinic to be very professional and kind. I had MOHs surgery for skin cancer 10 years ago. With almost unnoticeable scaring which is amazing considering it involved a large flap in the middle of my face. He is very talented and I was so peased to come back for a full body scan. I highly recommend Dr. Morganroth's office! read more

Dr.Morganroth is full of confidence which I really appreciate! He was in charge of eliminating the cancer on my nose and reconstructing it. He was very kind and caring to me. He explained several approaches he could take for reconstruction and decided on one he thought would be least invasive and most successful. I sure think he was right! I am a fan! His surgical team were also great. I believe Dr. Chen assisted in the surgery and was impressively efficient, kind and caring. When you are under local anesthetic and can hear and see everything going on, these qualities make a difference. I highly recommend Dr.Morganroth and his team. read more

Removed a cancer bump from my ear, 4 years ago. Probably a student did it under his watch. He was talking to me the whole time. No scare after a year. read more

I have been a patient with Dr Morganroth for 30 years. I have had many Mohs surgeries on my face and each time he has performed an excellent job. His knowledge of this medical art is very apparent. I encourage anyone to seek his expertice. I know you will be pleased! read more

Made an appointment in April in CA Skincare in Campbell to see Dr. Morganroth's assistant in Mt. View. Took 3 months and 1 cancellation along with constant postponements for surgery. "Dr. Morganroth constantly changes his schedule," I was told. Finally gave up and found a better surgeon who has an organized office. read more

I was a patient for several years of Dr Morganroth. He is extremely arrogant and pompous. I had SEVERAL mohs procedure w him and every time his procedures looked very messed up and I never healed from them even though he claims to be the only mohs surgeon in Bay Area. My final straw going to his practice he told me I had the worst kind of melenamo on my nose and told me he is the only dr in the United States that can perform a forehead flip which is 100,000 per procedure and need it done 4-6 times to get decent results. When he told me price I said wow 600,000 he said you can afford it!!!!! What!!!! Who says that to there patient!!!! I now I found out his practice is funded by Goldman Sachs!!!!! This is a money making business that tell people to have procedures they don't need!!!!! Btw I never did the forehead flip w him and found out he didn't invent this procedure that he claimed he did!!!!! I went to see the dr in Chicago that invented it!!!!! I ended up getting treatment UCSF they told me to def not do the forehead flip I will be deformed for life!!!!!! I did a skin graph on my nose and healed perfectly!!! Stay away from money grubbing Dr Morganrorth he will make up overpriced procedures so he can make more money for him and Goldman Sachs!!!!!! read more

Terrible; the service and receptionist was rude and had told me to reschedule with another doctor after I had driven 15 miles to get there.

January 20, 2021, I had a CO2 Laser resurface of my face and a Frexal Repair of my chest area by Dr Greg Morganroth of the California Skin Institute. The results were excellent. My face glows like glass. People compliment me on my beautiful skin. Thank you Dr Morganroth. Sharon Joseph, 71 year old retired Nurse read more

I had a chin implant and liposuction of the neck with Dr. Morganroth, the evening before a holiday. There was only one nurse In the office to assist the doctor during surgery and no one else. He put in an implant to large for my face; it was painful, crooked and completely changed my looks in a negative way. After surgery, I was in tremendous pain for weeks (on pain meds). I was extremely swollen for months. I could not lay down on one side of my face without pain until it was removed. FYI: if you have an chin implant no doctor will even look at you before 6 months if you want to remove it - on account of swelling and healing. I went to Dr. Morganroth for a post surgery follow up/discussion. He thought his work was perfect. Because I was unhappy with the results, Dr. Morganroth offered to remove the implant at no charge. However, I decided I did not want to take another chance with him. I paid a Cosmetic Surgeon to remove my crooked large and painful implant. It was replaced with an appropriately sized implant. I had minimal swelling and only had to take Tylenol for a few days. It looked better instantly. I was very happy when the bandages came off. As it was the right size, straight and I was out of pain. I'm writing this because - I feel it is important to share. My two experiences were so very different for me and my family. read more

I am a nurse practitioner and work in Mt. View. I've been recommending Dr. Morganroth to patients for over 20 years for his expertise in Moh's surgery for skin cancer. His skills are impressive. I've seen the results and I feel like I need a magnifying glass to try to find the incision. So, when I discovered a suspicious growth on my arm, I called right away. Sure enough, it was a squamous cell cancer and I received superb care at his office. He also treated several of the pre-cancerous skin lesions on my face with a very safe and effective peel that not only prevented those from worsening, but also left my skin looking fresher and younger. California Skin Institute and Dr. Morganroth's team are my go to recommendations for my patients with every type of skin issue and for aesthetics. read more

Dr Morganroth did surgery on my left ear. The surgery took about 4 or 5 hours and was painless and easy. It's bee about 8 years and it looks great with no complications. read more

Top notch dermatologist and surgeon. Spotted the smallest freckle on my back that he said looked suspicious. I didn't think it was anything. Turned out to be squamous cell carcinoma. He also spotted another cancerous area that had to be removed with a Moh's procedure. Both times he removed my cancerous cells and the recovery was fantastic. Very skilled surgeon that takes great pride in superb healing with as little scarring as possible. He's amazing. I also echo Ashley's comments 100%. He's confident and deservedly so. Definitely the doctor I want taking care of me. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Morganroth for his competency and professionalism. I have been his client for almost a decade now and I trust him with my skin. Very personable and courteous! read more

My husband first went to Dr Morganroth for Mohs surgery about 15 yrs ago. His ear was basically removed and rebuilt and looking at it today you can't even tell. He has gone back twice now for Mohs surgery on his nose and again on his ear. The results have been great. When I decided to have 2 procedures .. done both under local which was great because I did not want to be "put under" there was no one else I trusted but Dr Morganroth to do the surgery. My results are fantastic after just 3 months and even though I'm technically still healing I couldn't be happier with the results. read more

Pretty interesting. I wrote a one star review five or six years ago that has mysteriously disappeared. At the time I wrote it there were MANY bad reviews that I no longer see here. Will try to make this long story as brief as possible. My ex husband had a weird thumbnail that had been lifting and turning black over the course of a year. Finally talked him into seeing a doctor because I had heard of nail cancer. Morganroth assured him it was not cancer but admitted he did not know what it was. We were relieved. Another year went by and I happened to meet a dermatologist at a community event. I mentioned to him about my husband's nail and he told me it should have been biopsied. The next week my ex went to this new doctors office and had a biopsy done. Results MELANOMA. We had trusted morganroth when he said it was nothing to worry about. A tumor over 4.0 mm deep is potentially life threatening. My husband's was 7.45! He was scheduled for immediate amputation and intense treatments. He lost a whole year which greatly reduced his life expectancy. Let's see if the review sticks this time. I don't even see the last one in the hidden reviews. read more

I wrote a one star review 2 years ago and it "mysteriously vanished"soon afterward. Dr Morganroth has dollar signs in his eyes. After complaining about his young, poorly trained staff while promising to completely take care of the small scar I was seeing him to be treated for (at very, very steep fee), Dr. Morganroth brought me into a quasi dirty room and left me with his technician. The treatment took less than 3 minutes and did absolutely nothing to improve the scar. I called the office, but my call was never returned. I read more

I came to Dr. Morganroth to remove a birth mark on my nose. The treatment did not go very well. Every time I went for a laser appointment it seemed like he barely knew why I was there although he was very nice. I suppose I didn't matter as much because this was cosmetic and not a health condition, however since it was on my face it mattered very much to me. The price was astronomical as I'd done a similar treatment in southern California for much cheaper with better results. The WORST part about my experience was his staff. I visited the office a few times and on one of the visits when I showed up after taking a day off work for my treatment they informed me that Dr. Morganroth was not in for the day. This was when I was AT the office for my appointment. They had no excuse for why they didn't inform me beforehand nor did they really apologize. It was extremely unprofessional and I wouldn't recommend anyone go here just for this but also because you barely get 2 minutes with the doctor each time. They didn't take the time to numb me before treatment most times and the one time they did they were annoyed at having to do so and rushed the process because of it. I would go elsewhere it didn't really seem like they cared about their patients they just cared about the money. He didn't even want to see me after the procedure to see how well it worked and was confused why I was there for a follow-up. read more

I have never written a review on YELP before but my experience was so superior, I feel compelled to share it with other ladies debating getting a face lift and searching for the right surgeon. I started my thinking process 3 years ago when I was 67 years old and didn't like loosing my chin line and battling a sagging neck. I am slim and trim so the appearance of the neck was predominant. I searched surgeons, engaging in appointments with three surgeons that left me with an uneasy feeling I might get an unnatural look for the amount of money these plastic surgeons were asking. So I waited for three years. A good friend and neighbor who was battling melanoma needed my help to take him to and from a few surgeries to restore an ear and a nose. I never thought he would look the same again once the cancer was removed. But to my surprise, he looked even better than before after a healing period. That neighbor told me his dermatologist did the surgeries, Dr Morganroth. (And my neighbor even mentioned there were some complications during a holiday period and Dr Morganroth opened his office just to take care of his needs.. big wow) So I made an appointment and was thrilled this talented surgeon took me on as a patient for cosmetic surgery. I had a vertical neck lift on December 14th and the results are so natural and so outstanding, I can't stop looking at myself. I'm 70 and I look as good as I feel! I was prepared to stay indoors for a month or two. I was prepared to hurt a lot. I took everything into consideration and took the leap of faith after a couple of appointments that answered all of my many many questions. It took only 3 days for me to be up and around and off even Tylenol! I was told by one of the many interns that follow the doctor around, that while I was sedated, he was done with the lift but then took a lot of time to see his work and decided he would do just a little more so that I could get the best possible look. That's the kind of perfectionist he is! My poor husband was put in a position to change my bandages behind my ears but we were also surprised there was no blood. The job was ..in my opinion.. perfect! I highly recommend Dr Morganroth as a highly skilled surgeon! read more

Had an under chin lipo with dr. gregory morganroth a few years back and was left with scar tissue which needed to be removed by a renowned plastic surgeon out of San Francisco (massive additional cost, anyone???). I am a professional woman and I work for my money, so paying someone else to fix dr. m's heavy hand was not what I was looking for. DO NOT GO TO DR. GREGORY MORGANROTH FOR COSMETIC PROCEDURES IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU. I would give him MINUS FIVE stars if I could, but alas, that is not possible.... read more

Dr. Morganroth is the ONLY doctor I would trust for dermatology and cosmetic procedures. He is a perfectionist, which is what I want. As a perfectionist he can be a little cranky, but he is always professional. His staff is efficient and compassionate. I have had several surgeries and procedures with Dr. Morganroth and am extremely grateful I found him. He not only has skill but talent, the highest standards, and solid integrity. Thank you!

It is now about a year since this famous and very experienced but arrogant skin surgeon did a MOHS on a 1mm barely visible basal cell carcinoma I had on my face, only 1 layer deep. Each day I continue to have to look at a 3-4 mm red intermittently inflammatory area on my face at the site of the surgery, that does not permanently go away, in addition to a depigmented area of my lip where for unclear reasons he put a final suture and quickly pulled hard and heavenward on the lip with just one hand, increasing trauma to that area. I had heard of his arrogance and reluctance to listen to patients about when things do not go as expected but foolishly thought I would still be best off going to him. When my DH had a pus-like reaction to sutures on his skin cancer wound a few years ago when he had his skin cancer removed, this important doctor had gotten very annoyed when DH had insisted on seeing him and not just his lower trained nurse assistant who did not at all know what to do and pretended nothing was wrong. He had then ?punished my husband for intruding on his time by aggressively digging out the offending burrowed in sutures from beneath the skin as quickly as he could with no anesthesia or empathy for the pain or attempt to minimize it, presumably so he could hurry up and move on to procedures that would earn new revenue. But like a fool I went to him anyway because he is famous for MOHS and I figured I could handle a conceited doctor as long as he was skilled and had good results getting rid of cancer with minimal facial scarring, which I thought likely for my tiny lesion. He was brusque, arrogant, accusatory ( I have a complicated medical history), and argumentative on his pre-op day when he first met me, and his manner on the surgery day was even worse than at pre-op, e.g., bizarrely and surprisingly asking me while I was in the dark under the sterile surgical drape what kind of suture he should do to close the wound and when I said I honestly would need to know more information to decide what kind, he had said that HE was the doctor so HE would decide. I asked why he was then asking me, if he had already decided, and he then sarcastically and condescendingly patronized me by first-naming me, calling me "sweetie" and patting me on my shoulder ( apparently he had apparently forgotten it is chronically sore) .I am an older professional woman, not a child or a senile 95-year-old, so in this day and age to be treated like a naughty child is disgusting He did not do my wound check a week post-op, a medical assisant saw me and removed the sutures. She did not acknowledge my concerns , and did not even take a picture to show the doctor, even though I reminded her that my history included some risk factors for infection and healing problems, and just said I would have discomfort and numbness for six months ( half my face was numb and painful and remained distorted and hard to talk out of and hard to eat for two months, then was only numb, and meanwhile the inflammatory red bumps kept popping up). As the doctor and staff clearly had shown no interest in proper communication, when it was clear I was not healing normally, to avoid surging my blood pressure and stroking out dealing with him, I quickly went to another surgeon to try and deal with this recurrent problem. That repair-job surgeon has behaved politely and done the best possible to get to the bottom of and mitigate the inflammation, and eventually biopsied my lesion to make sure there is no residual cancer, and there is not. But it is likely going to be permanent scarring and an unsightly red bump, and I have gone from someone who never wore makeup or lipstick to having a choice between starting to do so now, or having an obvious distracting lesion for my clients to stare at, and an area of lip depigmentation. My tiny skin cancer is indeed apparently gone, so I will give him a couple stars for that, but ilikely something any low budget skin surgeon could have gotten rid of, and without the aggravation of his hurried and lord-of-the-manor style (not to mention his confused and inflated billing practices). Perhaps if he does cash-pay cosmetic procedures he is more careful, spends more time and is more polite. I had no option to cash pay and get extra attention to be "special" because I have insurance, and this is a boilerplate procedure, so I was relegated to the doctor's assembly line cash cow MOHS mill. Perhaps he is also better if he deals with cute young women, or important male movers and shakers or pals, maybe then he is more careful and pleasant, so YMMV and maybe depending on who you are, you will love this guy as long as your insurance pays, but I obviously will not be back. To be clear, I am not at all implying any malpractice, just disappointing mediocrity of results in my case, and what I observed was arrogance, rushing, disrespect, and not listening to my (and previously my DH's) concerns. read more

If I could give Dr. Morganroth and his staff 10 stars I would. They combined an absolute professionalism that inspired confidence and a warmth that reassured and just plain made me feel good about my procedure and the process. I had a lower lid blepharoplasty and laser resurfacing and couldn't be happier. The procedure was almost painless, the recuperation straightforward and exactly as explained. They responded to my many questions (yes, I'm THAT patient) quickly and cheerfully and never made me feel as if I was being a "pest." Thank you all for a great experience and result. read more

I researched the idea of having a blepharoplasty for 2 months and had several consultations with other doctors. After weeks of gathering and comparing the information I received, including information from Dr. Morganroth and his staff, I decided to go with Dr. Morganroth primarily because his procedure was the least invasive and his previous patients were very happy with the results. I was told to prepare for 2 weeks of recovery time, but in reality I recovered in 1 week, and was able to return to work! I am ecstatic that the puffy bags are gone! He continues to monitor my results with ongoing periodic appointments, which indicates to me his true concern for patient satisfaction. All my family and friends have given me nothing but compliments. I highly recommend Dr. Morganroth as the best doctor if you are contemplating having a blepharoplasty! Marisa B. read more

Dr. Morganroth has been my doctor for over 15 years, I have had more then 13 surgeries, with 10 of them on my face and head. From having one of the worst was when he had to do a skin graph and take cartledge from my ear to reconstruct my left whole side if my nostril. I was so afraid of what I was going to look like and be left with. I need to tell you he did a great!!!!! Job. With the amount of stiches I have had you would never have any Idea. People are amazed and shocked with how great I look and so am I. Just had my 60th birthday nobody believes I'm 60 they say I look no older them late 40's. Even my daughter 19 years old couldn't believe I was turning 60. I even had to even prove it with my drivers license. She sad no way she really thought I was maybe 50. Everybody I have recommended them to has to come see me at thank me so much. I have seen the work he has done on them and you would never in the world think they had skin cancer and surgery. I have never had to have any reconstructive surgery. I would recommend Dr. G. Morganroth to everyone 100% from skin checks to surgeries Sincerely Kim V. read more

In 2004 I noticed something a little odd on my nose and it turned out to be a little basal cell cancer. It was very small but somehow different so I did my research and discovered Mohs surgery and Dr. Morganroth. I confess, I thought they got it wrong and it wasn't really cancer, but during the surgical procedure when I kept going back to the waiting area and then being called back in because they kept finding all the margins weren't clear, I accepted it really was cancer. It was significant and my nose was a real mess. During the procedure Dr. Morganroth discussed what he was going to do with an assistant doctor - and I could tell the assistant was hanging on every word. The assistant was obviously learning massively. I ended up with a big "W" on my nose, it healed well (I tend to heal well) and after a year? if you looked very closely, you might have seen a little unevenness in that area. I don't wear make-up and no one has ever looked twice at my nose - except a little baby right after surgery who was frightened by the bandage. A few check ups later Dr. Morganroth showed me a picture of my nose when it was mid surgery. It was straight out of a horror film - all dismantled. I really don't see how he got it put back together at all, let alone in original condition. All these years later, I can see why Dr. Morganroth's practice has grown so dramatically. He truly is gifted. And I can see why, just like all throughout Silicon Valley, money is front and center. It's what it takes to survive there so I don't hold it against the practice. But, unlike a lot of other doctors, he actually delivers value. I have never had any further issues with my nose and if it hadn't been handled so expertly, it could have made a real mess of my life. And, as a bonus, he performed my aged mother's checkup with extreme kindness. She loved him! Today, we go in for a little odd mole on my husband back. We have come down from Oregon but would travel from anywhere to find Dr. Morganroth. Finger's crossed... read more

I had a very good experience with Dr Morganroth. I waited no more then 30 minutes on any of my visits. He was very skilled at his work and is extremely careful not to over sell anything. He runs a busy office and works very fast and efficiently. To compensate for the lack of a huge amount of time he has for each patient, his support personnel and nurses are there to take lots of time with you and work very hard to answer all questions and concerns in a professional warm manner. Really competent guy with a clean track record of doing good work. If you want a doctor to hug and make 'lasting best buddy' noises at you, he probably won't do that. If you want an excellent honest safe consultant for your problem, who will follow through with great results as promised, he and his staff will do that. read more

Dr Morganroth does aggregate job for me. He is clear, to the point, does not leave you wondering what he is saying. Excellent plus surgeon. In his area I don't think you would find a better Doctor read more

Dr. Morganroth is amazing at what he does. I recently had a surgical procedure that I consider a huge success. I felt very well taken care of every step of the way. He and his staff made sure that I felt comfortable at all times. He was able to suggest options to me that I would have never known were available and now I will be enjoying the results forever. Dr. Morganroth made himself available via phone over the weekend, as I had some discomfort after surgery. He immediately got on the phone and prescribed some medication. I didn't even had to wait for a call back. I also received a very nice flower arrangement from his office later that day that really helped brighten my day. The personal care and concern was very comforting. I would highly recommend Dr. Morganroth. He is extremely talented and surrounds himself with an excellent staff. If you want the best, he is the one you want in your corner! read more
