    I had a bilateral breast implant removal and a liquid rhinoplasty done by Dr. Stark and I love both…read moreresults! My breast implants were put in by another doctor years prior and I just didn't like them anymore - they were too large for my frame, one bottomed out, and exercising and finding cute clothes became difficult. After extensive research I decided to see Dr. Stark for a consultation. He immediately made me feel better by listening to my concerns, offering various surgical options, and setting realistic expectations. Excellent bedside manner too - on surgery day, he came to see me before going into the OR and then called to check in later that night (my original surgeon did not do that). Recovery was a breeze and I could not be happier with the outcome! The entire process from scheduling to after care was pleasant. His staff is very friendly and caring. Dr. Stark is incredibly talented and offers natural, beautiful results. Highly recommend!

    Having never written a review on any platform, this is the first experience I felt that I needed to…read moreshare as it was above and beyond all prior experience with aesthetic skin care. With years spent in front of a camera as a model and on a PBS series( when much younger) I am highly attuned to the youthful contours of my face. After visiting 5 offices of highly recommended specialists in facial rejuvenation, and being unsatisfied with the unnatural look from the placement of fillers and botox, I was convinced that a natural, healthy and realistically rejuvenated face was not achievable. Two years went by before I decided to venture to see Dr Stark after my own extensive research. From my first impression of his welcoming new offices, to meeting his warm and authentically caring staff, I knew the experience was going to be unique. And it was- Dr Stark is a gentle human being with lovely bedside manner and kind green eyes- he is easy to talk with- listens and looks with intention, hearing and seeing what it is you are hoping for(in my case, to retain natural contours and restore fullness). After hearing his recommendations, I felt confident he had truly understood my desired outcome and, indeed, his recommended placement just incredibly, absolutely worked wonders. Now I see myself, as I did 10 years ago, as a result of Dr. Stark's beautifully executed and restoring use of fillers and botox. What he can achieve with fillers that I have had poor experiences with in other Dr's hands before, is artistry. We have outlined a skin rejuvenation plan that includes facials and Halo laser treatments , I am so thankful to have found the Dr and the environment I had only hoped existed. Dr. Stark is one in a million.

    I reached out to this office to schedule a consultation. I was asked to send pictures and to…read morespecify what I was seeking. I did so and mentioned what a previous oculoplastic surgeon recommended after surgery with him. I then received a very rude email stating that my eyes were shaped "extremely different" (duh, I know that, that's why I'm seeking help), and that the surgery wouldn't be helpful. No suggestions for an in person consultation. If I look so "extremely" uneven, wouldn't you at least want to try to help me? Photos are limited for evaluation. Also, I just mentioned what one doctor suggested years ago. Obviously I don't believe that what was mentioned then is still what I need. I just finished medical school and honestly, I'm still so peeved and hurt by this unprofessional encounter I felt the need to write. Having a congenital eye disorder results in a lot of insecurities, and having a sensitive bedside manner is really important when helping potential patients. I felt awful about myself after this encounter and stopped seeking help for some time...I just hope whoever wrote that email has learned to be more sensitive towards vulnerable patients. PS I lived 10 min from the office at the time I asked about a consultation.

A few months ago, I came to you with back pain and concerns about feeling top-heavy. You recommended removing my silicone gel implants--which, I learned, you don't use for good reason--and suggested a breast lift with liposuction in the surrounding area. I really appreciated your patience as I struggled with the decision, especially about whether to replace the implants with smaller ones. During the surgery, we discovered that both implants had ruptured--it was a much more complicated procedure than expected, extending from a planned 3-3.5 hours to 5.5 hours. I realize now that I waited far too long to remove them, and you were absolutely right to be cautious about this type of implant. They could have leaked into my body and caused serious harm. You truly saved my life, and I am beyond grateful. You are a brilliant doctor, and I can't thank you enough for performing my surgery. Your entire team has been amazing--supportive, responsive, and kind through every step. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Instead they want to meet the minimums for Botox. So watch out. I've started to see dermatologists in the area who I've seen much much better results with and who was recommended by a celebrity.

While I was in the waiting room, the front desk associate was openly telling others she's a 40-year-old woman "stuck in a teenage body," which felt unprofessional and off-putting for a adult woman to infantilize herself. When Nicole brought me back, she immediately said I wasn't a candidate for laser and instead needed under-eye filler. I made it clear I wasn't interested, but she continued to push the idea and even brought in a surgery coordinator. The coordinator then criticized my previous filler, saying it caused puffiness, and made a comment about cannula placement that felt unnecessary and confusing. Apparently the cannula needs to touch the lower eyelash. What didn't make sense to me was why I was told I wasn't a candidate for laser, yet was being strongly steered toward filler--especially when they themselves pointed out puffiness.... I drove over 2 hours to go to the "best of the best". Overall, the experience felt pushy and unprofessional. I wouldn't recommend.

My intention here is not to soften my words but to convey the depth of my dissatisfaction. Your FFS work on me, specifically the rhinoplasty, was nothing short of disastrous. Not only did it fail to achieve the desired aesthetic, but it also resulted in a deviated septum, which has caused significant discomfort and inconvenience. This additional physical issue only compounds the frustration I feel towards your lackluster work. I must candidly admit that I was, at one point, your biggest cheerleader. Despite the warnings and advice from friends and support groups cautioning me against choosing you for FFS, I foolishly chose to disregard their counsel. I based my decision on my previous experiences with your surgeries and held on to the hope that this time would be different. Regrettably, I was mistaken. My faith in your abilities proved to be misplaced, and I deeply regret not heeding the warnings of those who had my best interests at heart. Your work has had a profound negative impact on my life, and I believe it's important to acknowledge the consequences of these decisions. I urge you to reflect on the implications of your surgical practices on patients like myself who place their trust in you. It is crucial to heed the voices of caution and make the necessary improvements in your approach and technique. After living with a botched hairline lowering scar for 2 years I finally found a Dr that is competent and was able to fix Kathy's horrendous mistakes. This new Dr was able to fix and give me the results I was so desperately wanting. Lastly Jenn Palladino the surgical coordinator did a terrible job communicating with me whether it be by phone or email. At times it would take days sometime weeks for her to get back to me-unprofessional and added to the terrible experience. Do not go to this doctor for ANY procedures. You are warned. It's tempting to choose Rumer because she's in network but take my advice. DONT! FIND SOMEONE ELSE. Be patient....They will also reply to this and say they don't recognize me as a patient. Proof of the nasty attitude they have. Disregard the comment they will probably leave saying they don't recognize me as a patient. It's simply a pathetic attempt to deflect this brutally honest review. Below is her botched hairline lowering procedure and the other photo is from a different doctor who knew what they were doing.
