Dr. Stark was exceptional. Skilled, insightful, caring and a good listener. Being old, I’ve had many different physicians over the years from different specialities and she stands out as the best. 

— CLIFFORD

After months of pain in my foot I finally broke down and made an appt. to see a doctor. I am so glad I did! Dr. Stark was amazing. Within 30 minutes I was walking out (almost) pain free. 

— PATTY

I have never met a more thorough podiatrist in my entire life. She explained to me about how and why I have plantar fasciitis in a way that I could easily understand and digest the information. We came up with a treatment plan and I decided to do the injections to help with the inflammation. Both Ben and Dr Stark were extremely supportive and helped me through the pain of the injection. After everything was done- Dr Stark taught me several exercises and just seemed very engaged with me as a patient. The entire appointment I felt heard and cared for. Thank you everyone so much for making this scary experience so pleasant and comfortable. I will recommend Dr. Stark and her amazing team to everyone!

Huge shoutout to Dr. Cathrine Stark and her awesome team! I had ingrown toenails removed from both big toes, and honestly — I was nervous going in. But Dr. Stark handled it like a pro, and her calm, caring vibe made the whole thing feel easy.

— NICK

I had an ingrown and damaged big toenail that I had removed. Dr Stark was so gentle and with a Novocain injection it didn’t hurt at all.

— GLORIA

I went to the office with a suspected ingrown toenail. Dr. Stark confirmed the diagnosis. Some years ago, back in Los Angeles, I had had a similar procedure (matrixectomy) on my other foot and I told her how skittish I was about getting a needle and about pain! Not only did she do her best to distract my attention with conversation about my career, etc., but before I knew it, the procedure was done, and I felt absolutely nothing. Best medical procedure I have ever had!

— ARTHUR

— JEANETTE

Dr. Stark gave me all the time I needed to discuss my options. She understood the impact of the news she gave me and ensured I understood my options. I've never had a doctor treat me with such respect and autonomy. I felt seen, heard and truly cared for. 

— SAMANTHA

This was my first visit and I was treated with respect and understanding of my ailment and Dr Stark was very thorough. Finally after 4+ years, I hopefully have a treatment plan in place for a better well being.  

— DAWN

I was very pleased with how efficient my first visit was. Once I was brought into one of their exam rooms it seemed that I was their priority. Within 30 minutes I was examined, x-ray completed, diagnosed with a plan to correct my foot issue.

The only word that I can think of from my visit of the medical staff doctor was actually “fun.” Dr. Stark made the process actually fun and interesting. She explained in detail what the issue was. She knew what was causing my discomfort, what I should do now and set a follow up date.

— REGINALD

They fit me into their schedule quickly so I could get a splinter removed from my foot before I headed off to Greece the next day. I didn't really think anyone could solve my problem before the trip, but Dr. Stark removed the splinter easily and left me in great shape to go off on the trip. I was so impressed by her positive attitude and medical skills. She is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. I am so grateful to her.
