Plastic Surgeon
Scottsdale
Manuela moved to Arizona at the age of 13 from Bulgaria with her family. She had a desire to join the medical field at an early age, so she decided to attend Medical Assistant school and graduated from Brookline College in 2007. She has worked in family practice, ENT, pediatric neurology, and cardiology before joining the plastics world with Dr Bonillas in 2013. Manuela knows the key to a successful practice is educating patients and creating a welcoming environment. Most of all, she loves meeting new people, being a part of their aesthetic journey, and helping them develop a positive body image and grow more confidence in themselves. In her free time, Manuela likes spending time with her family, working out, hiking, and traveling!

Morgan is the newest addition to Dr Bonillas’ team! With her devotion to creating a welcoming and judgement-free patient experience, she strives to create the atmosphere that she, herself, would want!
Morgan has lived in the West-Phoenix area for over 20 years. Her family introduced her to American Sign Language when she was very young, and throughout her life she increased her skills through her own friendships, language classes, and volunteer work with the deaf. After Sign Language, Morgan grew to adore connecting with people through their native languages. Her desire to learn about different languages instilled in her a passion for cultural diversity; from this bloomed a desire to learn Spanish.
Morgan’s journey started in the nutrition and fitness world; there she developed an understanding of the impact of a positive body image and the importance of true customer service through open communication. In 2014 she decided to hone her talents into the dermatology world; in doing so she realized how much confidence is generated when skincare goals are met, and wanted to find a company that would value a high standard of aesthetic ability as well as value the overall customer experience! Her desire for a practice that could provide such service led her to the world of plastics, and Dr Bonillas’ team welcomed her with open arms. As their new Front Desk Coordinator, she is so excited to be working with a team of highly trained skin and aesthetic experts who not only give top-notch medical grade treatment, but who also create outstanding patient friendships!
Her motto: Prevention is key!
