He is the best. He listened to me and answered all of my questions. He took his time with me and explained everything. I felt like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders when I left the office.

Dr. Stern helped me navigate an extremely bad flare of my disease due to Covid. With his guidance, I am now back on track. I am grateful to receive his expert care and also always enjoy my appointments with him because of his caring nature. I feel seen, heard and understood. He invites me into a partnership which is very empowering.

Dr. Stern always listens to what I have to say and I never feel rushed.

The visit started 15 minutes late, so I had waited for 45 minutes. I wasn't informed about any delays from the front desk. This made the visit feel a bit rushed. Also, I brought a form to be filled out that I really needed completed, and he wasn't able to quickly complete it. The provider's strengths are his responsiveness on MyChart and general demeanor. He is pleasant and likeable but sometimes doesn't fully understand all my needs like some other providers do. I'd still return to him because I am getting used to his nuances and because I believe he's knowledgeable.

Dr Stern has provided an invaluable service to use in clarifying his my wife's condition and the level of necessary medications. We felt we were the only patients he had that day. We could not ask for a more helpful and positive experience.
