About

Dr. Duncan Turner is a Board Certified OB-GYN practicing in Santa Barbara and Montecito, California. He specializes in Women’s Health, Sexual Wellness, Weight Management, Peptide Therapy, Advanced Aesthetics, and Regenerative Care. Dr. Turner believes aging well requires a deliberate, personalized plan, emphasizing hormones as a critical component and rejecting a one-size-fits-all approach. His treatment plans rest on three pillars: customized hormone replacement therapy, tailored to individual labs, symptoms, and goals; curated peptide and weight management protocols, including GLP-1s, specifically tailored to the body; and individualized vaginal rejuvenation and intimate wellness, treated with precision and privacy for conditions from postpartum recovery to menopause. He offers procedures like MonaLisa Touch, ThermiVa, Labiaplasty, and Perineoplasty. For hair loss, he emphasizes that treatment is not one-size-fits-all, often combining Toskani hair therapy and Morpheus8. He also uses PRF EZ Gel, created from a patient's own blood and growth factors, to restore natural-looking volume and rejuvenate delicate areas like under-eye hollows without traditional filler. Dr. Turner provides clear information on podcasts to correct misinformation about cardiac risk, statins, and estrogen, facilitating better conversations about women's health.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$172

Payments

9

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Duncan Turner received $172 across 9 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”

What areas of care does Dr. Duncan Turner cater to?
Dr. Turner specializes in obstetrics and gynecology, with a focus on advanced women's health care. He offers a range of services, from general OB-GYN care to specialized treatments like vaginal rejuvenation procedures including MonaLisa Touch, ThermiVa, labiaplasty, and perineoplasty. He also appears to have an interest in hormone replacement therapy, exploring options like creams as alternatives to pills. His practice also specializes in Sexual Wellness, Weight Management, Peptide Therapy, Advanced Aesthetics, and Regenerative Care. Dr. Turner believes that aging well requires a deliberate, personalized plan, recognizing hormones as a critical component of the aging process. His approach to longevity medicine involves considering the patient's entire health picture, including hormones, metabolism, bone health, cardiovascular health, lifestyle, and individual risk factors, rejecting a one-size-fits-all methodology. Every treatment plan is built on three foundational pillars: 1) Customized hormone replacement therapy, tailored to a patient's labs, symptoms, and goals, and adjusted as they evolve; 2) Curated peptide and weight management protocols, including GLP-1s and peptides, specifically tailored to the individual's body rather than standard dosing charts; and 3) Individualized vaginal rejuvenation and intimate wellness treatments, which are considered medical care and treated with precision and privacy, addressing conditions from postpartum recovery to menopause. His philosophy for women's health is holistic, treating the entire person. For hair loss, he emphasizes that treatment is not one-size-fits-all and often benefits from combining technologies.
