He has such poor ratings how anyone can say he is a good Dr. when a man dies after he did a wrong procedure

My cousin praises Dr.Stark for saving her life. She said he is an excellent Dr. It looks like all the negative reviews are by the same person. Sometimes the Dr.can not save a ht. Patient and it isn't the doctor's fault.

I don't care what any body thinks what I write because he is not a good man in my mind, he is a jerk, when he does a procedure that was not necessary and a man dies. You think we should think he a good man. Well good for you, Maybe it will happen to you some day

Dr Stark is an excellent Doctor whom I have consulted with since 2012. The negative comments posted here are all by the same nasty person. Those comments should be deleted immediately.

10 years ago I nearly had a heart attack with a 95% blockage in my right coronary artery. Dr Stark put in 2 stents and saved my life. This past year I had gone off my heart healthy diet and have not been taking my meds. I started to have chest pains. Dr. Stark did a catherization and found a 90% blockage. He put in another stent and saved my life again. I can't thank him enough. Both times I could have died from a heart attack. God bless him.

he is such a poor excuse for a dr. if that's what you want to call him. has poor bedside manner and never on time for surgery. doesn't do any testing before doing a surgery just says you need it whether you need it or not. what goes around comes around and I hope it comes for him soon
