Dr. James David Stern

Amazing Doctor he cares about his patients and achieves great results.

After two surgeries to undo what Dr. Stern did, I finally feel comfortable in my body. He didn't listen to me and did a one size fits all "male" approach to my cosmetic needs.

My pre, during, and post surgery was recorded. I feel violated and devastated at what I heard Stern and the anesthetist say and do to me. There were complications during my surgery that should have been included in my medical report. I was assured that no pictures would be taken during the surgery but pictures were taken. I deleted permission for photos to be taken during surgery and was assured that pics would not be taken but they were.

Dr Stern has a really friendly approach to dealing with Patients. I was really nervous speaking with a plastic surgeon, but he really made me feel comfortable in his office.

Be prepared to wait over an hour. The office staff is nice but unorganized and will say whatever is necessary to cover for the doctors and their incompetence. I wish I had read the reviews before I came here.

The staff is friendly but when they don't know the answer to a question they make one up. One office worker is loud and talks non-stop about her self. His medical assistant treated me like I was an inconvenience.

Dr. Stern looked at my body and HE decided what size implants (DD’s) and type of implants I should have – disregarding everything I said. His office doesn’t return emails or phone calls. Their bookkeeper made up numbers when itemizing the costs. I waited over an hour for each appointment, and an office worker came into my recovery room and told me to hurry up and get out for the next patient. A year later, thanks to Dr. Karlinsky, I finally feel comfortable in my body. She listened and worked WITH me on the best size implant for my small frame. Dr. Karlinsky, her nurse and consultant gave me their cell number and responded immediately to all questions and concerns. This all-female medical staff made my experience stress-free and pleasant from start, post-op, recovery and beyond.

One of his officer workers was rude and inappropriate during my appointments. After my surgery she came into my recovery room and told me to hurry up and get out. His medical assistant acted like that was business as usual. No referrals here.

I went to Stern for an implant exchange and told him that I wanted to stay with saline but be smaller. He said, “if I was his wife he would want me to get silicone” and then compared saline implants to old electronics. He said that I needed to be larger to be feminine. Even with all these red flags I still let him do my surgery. He put giant implants in my small body and my perfectly symmetrical breast are now lopsided. My new doctor is replacing my oversized implants for smaller ones and going to do her best to even out the mess Stern made.

Dr.Stern was excellent, professional, and did a great job with my issue. His staff was excellent as well. I was in a rush, and they respected my time and got things moving right away. Truly appreciate everyone in the office!

This didn't just hurt me, it hurts all the women who have no idea what was said and done to them during their surgery.

I'm angry at what this man did to me and angry that I have to go through this again to repair his mistakes.

At first I couldn't believe how lucky I was to find Dr. Stern. He is a misogynistic bully and the thought of him touching me makes my skin crawl. Both of my surgical procedures turned out badly.

Stern wanted to get his patient (my sister) out of the building before she found out what he had done, so he sent an obnoxious office worker into her recovery room to tell her she had to hurry up and get out. This worker did this while my sister was still groggy from surgery and this worker continued demanding she leave until my sister was dressed and out of the room. Stern, the anesthesiologist, his office and medical staff and colleagues all knew what was happening. My sister had deep respect and trust in Stern. She spoke highly of him and recommended him to everyone. She is devastated by this betrayal. It would be easier for her to move past this experience if one of the implants Stern replaced hadn't turn our hideous.

perfection from start to finish. my breasts look and feel extremely natural. no one can see or feel that they are implants.

Couldn’t be happier with Dr. Stern. He is very professional and takes his time to explain everything. He is honest about the results that will be achieved and has an eye for perfection. He is there to answer any questions and concerns before and after surgery. Would definitely go back to him and he is highly recommended!!

I needed to replace my implants and told Dr. Stern that I wanted to be smaller and stay with saline. I never wavered about what I wanted and reaffirmed this the day before my surgery. He said that I needed cleavage to be more feminine. He used the largest saline implants they had in the office. His justification was that he filled them to the lowest level allowed for that size. I was so upset when I saw what he did to me. He also said that silicone would be more pleasurable for my partner. I look like a stick figure with giant implants. It would be easier to live with this if they looked good. One is fine but the other hangs down an inch lower, is larger and points in the wrong direction. The doctor who is doing my follow up and said in 3 months she will either repair the debacle Stern did or I can pay to have the implants I asked Stern to use and go through the recovery again. My experience in the recovery room was a nightmare. I’m glad I had family there to see what they did to me.

After being extremely happy with my injections from Dr. Stern, I decided to do a consult for the full mommy job , got the surgery shortly after and I would not be happier. My recovery was so easy and any questions I had before or after surgery, Dr. Stern answered right away and never made me feel like I was bothering him. I highly recommend Dr. Stern to anyone and everyone.

I couldn’t have asked for better results and a better plastic surgeon. He is polite, professional, personable and a perfectionist. He took his time with everything including the consultation and answer all my questions and concerns. Very happy and have recommended him to all my friends and family!

My absolute favorite Doctor to visit! He takes his time, gives honest and heartfelt opinions and answers any and all questions you might have. Beautiful office and super friendly staff. I’m always treated like family and can’t wait to go back ??

So disappointed.

Great doctor!

HONEST! I had the honor of working with Dr. Stern for many years He was the Doctor's doctor,as far as respect,knowledge, and CARING! The doctor we called for the COMPLEX cases. Not only a brilliant doctor who fixed the extremely bad cases...he CARED about his patients' care. Unfortunately, I had to see him for a face injury that I knew would permanently scar me,and was approx. 6-8" long, 4" height, with ragged edges. NOT PRETTY and my FACE! It was in his gifted skill that l can look in the mirror years later and NO ONE CAN SEE IT????❤. He is the BEST and GIFTED. He is critical care trained and gifted at reconstruction He is the one of 2 docs that I would trust with my own children or family. I have witnessed him do amazing things with nothing to work with.GIFTED! HONEST!

Dr Stern is simply the best. I met Dr Stern at the lowest point of my life, I had just gone through Breast cancer, after a double mastectomy and a long emotional journey....my doctor was there every step of the way . Great bedside manners. I will be forever grateful . Great staff and great atmosphere.

I waited a year to write this review.I went to Dr.Stern after a terrible skin cancer Surgery where the entire inside of my ear was removed,he decided to do a skin graph there in his office.Today you cant see a scar,my ear looks great.

everything went better than expected

Could not be in better hands...the very best. uts you at ease immediately!

Dr. Stern is an incredible surgeon and person. His friendly and patient demeanor makes you feel relaxed and comfortable the second you set foot in the office. I have had multiple surgeries performed by him and am very pleased with the results. Couldn't ask for a better doctor!

Dr Stern, did my reconstruction surgery after going through breast cancer. Thanks Dr Stern you are the best.

I went into the office with complications from a previous surgery which caused me daily pain and suffering. The office got me in super quick and a week later I had my surgery and could not be happier! I no longer have pain, and to top it off my results are gorgeous! Would not recommend anyone but Dr. Stern for your cosmetic surgery needs.

I had Breast Implant and a Tummy Tuck with Dr Stern and he did a wonderful job, My before and After pictures, it’s like a miracle, Dr Stern gave mybody a youthful body. The body I had before started having Kids, I am left with a Permanent WOW

After going through a difficult year with a Achilles tendon surgical wound that did not heal, I was lucky enough to find myself in the very gifted hands of Dr. Stern who performed a complicated graft and reconstructive surgery. He took his time explaining things carefully to me assuring me that my safety was priority My post -op care has been top notch. Dr. Stern is a brilliant, kind, and caring plastic and reconstructive surgeon and I cannot ask for a better combination for my care.

I recently decided I wanted to get some work done and went to 5 different doctors for consultations. While price wasn't any determine factor although he was very reasonable and comparable to others, we went with the Doctor that had the most knowledge, explained everything we needed to know and pros and cons of what I wanted to have done, and our comfort level with the Doctor. We chose Dr Stern and I can't be happier with my results! I would highly recommend he and his staff to anyone.
