I've been seeing Dr. Stark for a decade and he's absolutely wonderful! Great attention to detail and very thorough. He always gets to the bottom of my medical issues and makes sure they are resolved without surgery. He's not only an incredible Doctor but a very nice man! The entire staff are always outstanding as well. Every experience I have as a very pleasant one!

I was able to get an appointment right away! Dr. Stark took the best care of me and made sure I understood all my options. I really value their recommendations and will go back when I have any orthopedic needs!
