In Dr. Roy A. David's own words

How Dr. Roy A. David describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • It’s always a privilege to follow my patients through their healing journey and see their confidence grow
  • I like a more traditional look with brow lifting. I think that's always going to be in style
  • Dr. David's practice prioritizes precision, artistry, and patient care throughout every step of their work.

Specialization

  • The practice specializes in Rhinoplasty procedures.
  • The practice specializes in Deep Plane Facelift procedures.
  • The practice specializes in Facial Plastic Surgery.

Technique

  • My deep plane La Jolla lift gives dramatic results that are very long lasting

Technology

  • The CO2 laser creates tissue remodeling, gives dramatic results. That's my choice

Safety

  • Under eye filler can be okay for subtle changes, but a blepharoplasty can give permanent results without the side effects of fillers like the tingle effect or migration
  • Rhinoplasty is going to give permanent results and is actually safer

Results

  • I love how she looks natural and refreshed- with no sign of surgery
  • The practice's aesthetic goal for rhinoplasty results is balanced, natural, and beautiful.

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)

$731

Payments

28

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Roy A. David received $731 across 28 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. 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?”
