Lawrence Stern, MD, FACS, FASCRS, is a board-certified colon and rectal surgeon at Fairfax Colon & Rectal Surgery, PC.
Dr. Stern knew he wanted to pursue a career in medicine since adolescence. His first job was as an emergency medical technician (EMT) at age 16. After realizing that EMTs couldn’t establish long-term relationships with their patients, he decided to become a doctor.
Dr. Stern earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. After graduation, he enrolled at the University of Virginia Health Sciences Center in Charlottesville. There, Dr. Stern discovered a passion for the technical aspects of surgery and decided to pursue general surgical training.
After obtaining his medical degree, Dr. Stern completed a general surgery residency at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in Cincinnati, Ohio. He excelled in the program, earning a National Institutes of Health National Research Service Award to conduct two years of specialty research.
Dr. Stern wanted to advance his skills in colon and rectal surgery, so he sought specialized training in the field. At the end of his residency, Dr. Stern moved to Boston, Massachusetts, and completed a Colon and Rectal Surgical Fellowship at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center in Burlington, Massachusetts.
Since joining the team at Fairfax Colon & Rectal Surgery, PC, the practice has grown exponentially. Outside the office, Dr. Stern enjoys spending time with his wife and their two daughters.

Great experiencia
Dr. Stern was very courteous and respectful and spoke in direct, easy to understand terms. He was also on-time! He recommended keeping keeping an appointment for colorectal exam with a previously consulted doctor due to his in-availability. Tom McCarthy
I have full confidence in Dr. Stern's medical expertise. He firmly tells you what needs to be done to become cured of cancer. He not only wants to make you well again, but he also looks into the future. I would highly recommend him to other cancer patients. Thank you
Fairfax Colon and Rectal Surgery provided exceptional service and care. Dr. Stern is a true professional and expert in his field. He was able to resolve my issue in two visits and took the time to clearly explain both short and long term care as required. Great experience!
I would highly recommend Dr. Stern, MD. He listened to my problem (condition), answered my questions, and provided much needed guidance.
My first appointment with Dr. Stern and his staff was very pleasant. The office is clean and well lit. Dr. Stern was very patient and informative of my concern. He and his staff were very nice and professional.
I felt 100% confidence in Dr. Stern's medical expertise. In addition, I felt that he personally cared about my situation. He explained several outcomes based on my latest colonoscopy. I trust that he will make the right decision for my surgery.
I was just concerned if the Dr laughing and assistant was about me when I was on my stomach on the table having the procedure done. And I thought he might have been a little rough but after many many times doing his job that may be hard to stop/ eliminate. But his quality was good as it seemed the procedure turned out well.
Friendly and helpful staff at the front. Knowledgeable and patient Medial professionals interested in my well being.
