He spoke over me and didn’t really listen to what I was saying and then he just rushes you out the door with no care to my pain, my son came with me and he also tried to speak to him and he also spoke over my son. To say the least I will be looking for for a new doctor.

Excellent service always provided by Dr Stern as well as his entire staff. Professional and knowledgeable. Had surgery in years past and was pleased with outcome. Honest in his evaluations and works to resolve the issue. Highest ranking in all areas.

Dr. Stern and his RN Brian thoroughly explained what needed to be done to correct severe spinal stenosis causing leg numbness and pain in my butt! Dr. Stern is an excellent listener and cares about his patients. His staff is very friendly. I'm able to walk without pain and I highly recommend him.

I had severe pain and numbness in left leg and back. Dr. Stern did a micro discectomy on L4/5 and my pain and numbness are gone. He is a knowledgeable surgeon and a great care giver.
