I saw Dr. Stark for the 1st time this past Monday and he performed a endoscopy the next day. He was incredibly kind and thorough. He listened to all of my concerns, as well as my husbands concerns regarding my issues. He made several suggestions and let us know which he thought would be the best route. His bedside manner before and after the procedure was wonderful. Please don't use the negative reviews as a guide to whether or not you should see this doctor. Go see for yourself, as I did (and almost didn't..). The only complaint I have has nothing to do with Dr. Stark but with one of the nurses that was outside the pre-op area. She was speaking loudly about an old practice she worked for and, in detail, how bad it was then proceeded to shout out, "everyone thinks they have it so bad here but...". I felt this was incredibly inappropriate. I know we all have issues from time to time with our places of employment but this should've been discussed in a more private setting. Again,,do give Dr. Stark a fair chance. He's really great!
