Dr. John Gregory Stark

Great doctor. Took the time to listen and made me feel special. Kind, generous with his time and smart. Finally someone that knows what I have. Highly recomend.

Very impressed by his knowledge and bed side manner. He listened and made me feel that I was his most important patient. He explained my condition in detail like no one has ever explained before. I have been in pain for many years. My care has been transferred back and forth between pain clinics and doctors; Dr. Stark took the time to examine me, listen and patiently explain my condition and what I should expect. Very, very, very grateful.

Never would recommend to anyone ever!!! Arrogant, mean, pompus, rude and so full of himself he puts his patients in danger. Stay clear of this so called doctor. He has no compassion for anyone but himself.

He was very curt and rude when I told him I was still having pain after my back surgery. He said only women have pain and I needed to buck up. After enduring 5 years of pain, I went to a neurosurgeon who was able to fix some of the problem, but 5 years of nerve damage was too long for a full recovery. I only went there because I could get in quickly. Big mistake.

I was referred to Dr. Stark for treatment of AVN of my hip. I arrived with my X-rays, medical records and diagnosis, as well as told Dr. Stark that I had advanced AVN and a very unstable hip. He replied, I'll be the judge of that! and without looking at my records or films promptly began manipulating my leg. When I flinched in pain he snapped at me, I'm not going to hurt you! I told him that he WAS hurting me and he did not seem to believe me. Not my idea of a good physician.

He paralyzed me and told my wife after surgury (quote) he will never walk again and there was spinal fluid all over in there. After my june 2005 45 mn. decompression on L4-L5. however no other witnesses were present. After my transfer to the va. Mpls he asked Va. neuro dr. if he had possibly ripped a nerve. Va. Doc. said he could not be sure? Stark was therefore off the hook. I have been paralyzed for over ten years now. I would not let Stark operate on my akc certified Irish Setters or Golden
