A former Southern California doctor is back in the US from Israel to serve his sentence for a $50 million plastic surgery insurance scam, the Department of Justice said
Dr. David M. Morrow, 75, arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday escorted by US Marshals. The next day, he was ordered to start his 20-year sentence in federal prison. The former resident of Rancho Mirage was sentenced in absentia in 2017 after he and his wife fled to Israel following his guilty plea to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and filing a false tax return.
Sometimes, court documents said, patients underwent procedures they did not want in exchange for promises that Morrow would perform the cosmetic procedures they really wanted, officials said. Other times, Morrow performed procedures on patients without their consent and with"ongoing medical problems or disfigurement." Evidence showed that Morrow even paid a patient for undergoing surgeries that would be billed to insurance, the statement said.
