David Matlock
David Matlock, M.D. is a celebrity doctor who is gynecologist and plastic surgeon based in West Hollywood, California, known for appearing on the E! reality television program, Dr. 90210.[1] He earned his medical degree from the St. Louis University School of Medicine and an MBA from the University of California at Irvine.
Matlock's practice is called Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of America.[1]
Matlock was an early and prominent promoter of elective vaginoplasty procedures via his appearances on Dr. 90210 and in meetings with colleagues.[2][1] He also trademarked and patented his cosmetic gynecology procedures, and sells continuing medical education courses to other gynecologists as well as trademarked and patented equipment, which was controversial among his peers.[2][1][3]
One such procedure was the "G-shot", an injection of collagen into the region of the vagina thought by some to be the G spot, putatively to make it larger and more sensitive; he gave this to women at "G spot parties."[4][5] The procedures themselves are controversial, with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists issuing a warning against them in 2007[1] as well as the Royal Australian College of Gynaecologists in the same year,[6] and a commentary in the British Medical Journal strongly criticizing the "designer vagina" in 2009.[6][7] The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada published a policy statement against elective vaginoplasty based upon the risks associated with unnecessary cosmetic surgery in 2013.[8]
Matlock threatened to sue the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in early 2014 after it banned doctors it certified from treating man earlier in 2013; the college withdrew the restriction in 2014, in part due to Matlock's threat.[9]

Controversy surrounded the most vocal early proponent of cosmetic gynecology, American gynecologist David Matlock, because of his efforts in branding, franchising, and guarding his proprietary methods of cosmetic gynecology as intellectual property.
