The entire staff was very friendly, from the secretary across the hall to the nurses and doctor, all very professional. The doctor explained my condition and surgery very well.
The most uncomfortable appointment I never had in my life. The NP treated me ruder and unprofessional. She was more focus in her texts messages she received more than assisting me with my appointment and she was more focused on her cell phone than my appointment.. She make me feel disrespected and I will complete a formal complaint against her because she was racist and treat me differently because my appearance and the color of my skin
You do everything very well. I couldn't ask for better service, more attentive doctors, and I don't think anyone could do any better than this staff. They're all excellent, willing to help you, perfect for any injuries or needs.
Dr.Stark is an excellent doctor.I would recommend anyone to her.Keep up the work young lady.Hi five to her team we can't forget about them they make it happen also.. Thanks ??
Ms. Stark makes me feel comfortable.
Lousy communication between insurance and doctor, no callback or feedback information on direct surgery date. Very totally dissatisfied with this service and this doctor.
Great, life changing experience for me.
Great experienc
My visit is always a pleasure and the staff is always attentive and reply to my questions or says, it's best to ask the Doctor. Love the attmusfer and decor. Nice to walk into and relax before seeing the Doctor.100%.
My question is, how could my doctor, no question, I just don't understand how you could send the patients out in pain, as much pain as I'm in. I have been in, and I anticipated that I would get some help. How could you send me out and see me only, what, about 15 minutes? It took me almost two hours to get there.
I just want to thank Dr. Stark and the staff who have always treated me with respect and patience.
Everyone was very friendly. I was there using the wal mart spine bundle through contigo. I had to travel about 300 miles in order to receive the care I needed. The only complaint I had was regarding Tiffany not contacting contigo about my plan of care in time for contigo to be able to get me everything I needed before I had to travel for my appointments.
It has been a delight to have Dr. Jessica Stark as my neurosurgeon for the past 4 and 1/2 years! During that time she did both lumbar and cervical surgeries to correct what was going wrong with my spine due to severe osteoarthritis. Each surgery went well, and each visit was a great experience, getting to ask all my questions, and with Dr. Stark patiently explaining all the terminology. I have learned quite a bit from Dr. Stark and her staff! Everyone has been a delight and a great help during these surgeries and recoveries. I highly recommend Dr. Stark to anyone I meet that is having spinal symptoms! The only problem with Dr. Stark and her staff, is that I need them to move closer to my neighborhood! We live 5 hours north of Houston, so she definitely needs to set up an office up here north of Tyler, TX somewhere!! Thanks so much!
I want to say that everyone has been so kind and caring My overall stay was great you have a spokesman now
Everything was very good, everything was very good, thank you.
Excellent overall experience. Hopefully, I won't have do this again. But, if I did, I would take the same route.
They were all very rude to me.
Doctor is excellent, Ms Jillian the NP is excellent, professional and very knowledgeable. thanks for caring
This is the most caring and understanding provider and staff. I have already recommended them to several of my friends that are having problems.
This price have a good attention to the public, They keeps appointments on time
Hi, my appointment was with Jessica Stark last week. Everything went well, but I think she had maybe one or two trainees with her. One trainee was very nice, polite, and introduced himself, but I had a female in there and I don't know who that was. So I'm just thinking on upcoming visits, maybe everybody could introduce themselves. I understand it may be a trainee situation, but at least say, hi, my name is XYZ. That's the only comment I have. Everything went well on my appointment and Jessica Stark was real thorough and straight to the point and I like that. Thank you.
There were other practicing doctors i suppose who showed me my MRI results. Dr. Stark did not talk much and everything was rushed and the conversations were real quick. But I did get a surgery date pending medical clearance. I did not get to ask any questions and then I was done. Not a great experience for the first meeting.
Great
I feel like Dr Stark is a good doctor I had a choice of two and I chose her I feel like she did a good job the only thing is I was too old for the surgery now I go through problems
Jessica Stark is a fabulous surgeon, and I believe she has kept me out of a wheelchair! I have great respect for her talent and skills as a surgeon. I have found her staff to be less than responsive, though, in more than one instance. [...]
Dr. Stark was very efficient and Curtesy. I am trusting her 100% with my upcoming Spinal Surgery.
I couldn't ask for a better team to take care of me during this time! Dr. Stark and her staff are amazing!
Dr Stark and all her team are always kind and thorough. They allow me to ask any questions I have and explain everything I need to know.
Everything went well. Dr Stark reviewed the MRI, explaining what all we were looking at. She made it understandable and welcomed all questions.
Dr. Stark gave me a thorough explanation of my illness, and I am greatful for her.
