I have been seeing Dr. Stark for the past 4+ years. I was referred to him by a pain management Dr. in my area who wasn't able to assist me. I was dealing with some serious back pain and ended up needing a complete spinal reconstruShow morection surgery. Prior to my 10-11 hour surgery at Cedar Sinai, Dr. Stark helped me manage my pain. He went above and beyond to ensure that I was on the right path to prepare myself for this major, life-changing surgery. He also advised me that I may deal with some long term pain associated with having this surgery and having all this hardware placed onto my spine. He was 100% correct about all of his predictions. I have to admit that Dr. Stark is a life savor. I don't think I would be able to deal with what I have been through if it wasn't for his expertise. He not only takes care of my physical health, but he is a caring Dr. that will tend to your mental health, physical health and everything in between. He truly goes the extra mile like no other Dr. that I have ever met or dealt with. I highly, highly recommend him and his lovely team. His nurse, Wendy is a joy to work with. She always greets me with a smile. Liz, the front dest receptionist is also very kind and sincere. Blanca whom works at this facilti is another gem that I have had the pleasure of knowing and they are all very sweet, kind and professional. They all have tended to all of my needs and requests. I reside on the west end of the valley but I am more than willing to drive to Toluca Lake as needed in order to be seen by this great Dr. Dr. Stark has a wonderful bedside manner as they say. He is a positive person whom does not treat you as a number, but more like family. My biggest worry is when it will come time for him to retire as I will not know what to do at that point. If you are lucky enough to have him as your PCP, you will feel as fortunate as I do! He is the BEST!
Dr. Stark is one of the finest doctors on the planet and so is Dr. Hernandez, because I have seen him as well a couple of times. I never had a doctor before who was actually interested in my situation other than superficially butShow more Dr. Stark goes as deep as he has to. And as a person, but he is always personable and so kind. I have complete confidence in him as my doctor. I appreciate the help the medical center offers, because as a senior, your problems always need the most immediate attention that is available . Thank you! Linda

I have been a patient of Dr. Stark for many years and I trust him as a doctor. My only complaint would be the wait time to see him.
Great doctor who listens and works with his patients for the care best for them

Very pleasant
I feel heard and well taken care of with Dr Stark. He knows how to honor my desire to stay healthy and functional at my age. I am thrilled to have such a great doctor and positive experience.
I have been with Dr.Stark for almost a year. He is very attentive and understanding. Dr. Stark LISTENS!!! I transferred all my records to his office. Try to be patient with the staff, they have had some challenges, They have improved their communication!!!
Dr.Stark is very comprehensive in going over test results, blood tests etc. He is great and recommends in a straightforward manner what you should do to improve your health. I recommend him highly. Robert W.
Excellent
I have been a patient of his for a long while now; about 4-5 years. He’s been a physician that focus’s on patient care.
He’s the best I know Dr. Stark from 2009, he’s my primary doctor So, I’m obviously very happy with him because I stayed with him all these years. Thanks Dr
I enjoy Dr Stark's focus on not adding another pill or drug unless really needed. I have had doctors in the past that just wanted to add another medication, rather than analyzing what my lifestyle might be not supporting a healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Stark is an excellent clinician and a kind & considerate human. I was treated with dignity & respect. I am grateful to him and the staff at Premier for taking care of my medical needs.
Very thorough and attentive Doctor. Real pleasure...
I was treated very nicely by the staff and Dr. Stark. Everyone seem to be very knowledgeable about their task.
Been w dr over a decade. Great dr. Very knowledgeable and no nonsense
Dr Stark is one of the nicest concern and devoted doctor I've ever had in my 79 years unfortunately he might keep me alive until I'm 100 but we'll see but he's great take my word for it please Mike
For the last 20 or so years the beeeeessstttt.

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Stark for 22 years. He’s truly the best doctor!
Been coming to Dr. Stark for 25 years or so I started with my mom, dad and both brothers. I'm the last of my brothers under his care as my brothers moved away. I may be the oldest of the 3 of us but I am also the healthiest.
Dr. Stark and his staff are wonderful! I always feel like he truly listens to my concerns and helps me the best way possible. I have referred many friends and family members to his practice and they are all extremely satisfied as well.
Dr. Stark is a complete consummate professional; he takes a genuine approach of treating the whole ‘person’; not just the medical condition. A+++
Dr Stark has been my physician for over 15 years and his kindness, temperament, and intellect was the highlight of my mother’s lifetime - she looked forward to her monthly visits such that I can say with confidence that she lived a few months short of 100 in comfortdue to his optimism and loving care that are the hallmark of a physician superior in every attribute of his profession. Also, the fact that I’m still alive is a testament to his ability and patience and supper cool perseption and empathy . Frank Orlando
Dr Stark has helped me a lot with my medical problems. He knows exactly what to do for me. I have been with him for years and will continue to have him for my doctor.
