I am 9 days out from surgery and just got back from 2nd follow up with DR and staff. I am blown away by the results he was able to give me. He is a genius in the surgery room. I had no bruises when I left and his stitch work is impeccable. He told me in my consult that his goal is to make magic happen for me and I teared up then and I'm tearing up now- he did just that! He is a genius he has given me my life back. I put off my procedure for 16 years. I researched for many years before making my choice. I'm so glad I finally found Dr.Stoker and his staff they have done everything promised and more. I will be eternally grateful to them. If you are working out, eating right, and doing everything to take care of yourself and you still find yourself hiding, sad, and ashamed of how your body looks after having a child or losing weight- I strongly recommend you book a consult with Dr.Stoker. Tears of joy are welling up as I write this. If you've seen his before and afters or YouTube's and thought they are "too good to be true" he is the real deal. His passion for his work is like no other Dr. during my consult my gut told me to go with this practice and I'm so glad I listened. There is no price tag on living your life to the fullest. Make yourself a priority and go see Dr. Stoker you are worth it. 5 star rating isn't enough for them! They are nothing short of amazing! This is not sponsored and there are no incentives for this review, I wanted to share to hopefully bring joy back for another member and thank Dr. Stoker and his staff- they are amazing! One of my oldest and dearest friends already has her consult scheduled. I would book now since they are very busy and they follow strict Covid guidelines so this office is clean and safe. As busy as they are you will still feel like their top priority. I am beyond pleased with everyone on Dr.Stokers team - this is a true class act. He is a perfectionist and it shows in every aspect of my experience and with his team. I cannot express enough the joy they've given me. This has been a wonderful experience. Thank you so much!
What an incredible experience from start to finish! Honestly, this was the BEST experience I've ever had with any doctor/physician/surgeon. I originally reached out to Dr. Stoker's office and spoke with Jamie several months before even booking a consult. I had a broken nose and wasn't sure if I should go the ENT route or the plastic surgery route. Jamie was so helpful and so patient with me, and when it looked like my ENT options were both booked an additional several months out, I bit the bullet and booked an appointment with Jamie. Within 5 minutes of meeting Dr. Stoker, I was sold. He is so upbeat, attentive, and has great energy. He doesn't rush through questions, he's thorough and takes a genuine interest in his patients. I felt so comfortable with him that I was able to inquire about a few other procedures. Based on my concerns, he made excellent recommendations and I decided to have a couple other procedures in addition to my rhinoplasty and septoplasty. I couldn't be happier and would recommend him and his staff 100000x over. Shout out to Carla, Jordan, Morgan, Wendy, Dr. Bonness and the rest of the staff for making me so comfortable before, during and after surgery!
Everyone helped me through the procedure. I had never had any kind of surgery before so I was extremely nervous but wanted the procedure. Dr. Stoker and his staff painted a picture of what to expect every step of the way and everything went as expected. I am so pleased with my results.
I never write reviews but I'm doing so for 2 reasons: #1. I've really had the best experience so I want to write a thorough review #2. I want to pay it forward because the Realself community has helped me make so many educated choices for myself.For starters, I'm 33F no kids. I was a large A cup with loss of volume on the top. I was never insecure about/hated my boobs so this was a big decision for me because why would I voluntarily do something that might mess up something that I didn't hate in the first place y'know? BUT, I've been WANTING a boob job for soooooo freaking long and I finally decided to do it. I am really glad I did it but I made this decision knowing full well that things could go wrong and complications are very possible.I got 300cc and 325cc and I'm 2 weeks out and my boobs look....ridiculously good and NATURAL. Just got off my scar tape today and my incisions look so good for 2 weeks post. I couldn't be happier. Recovery was relatively easy. I definitely wouldn't have been able to go to work the next day even though I got "rapid recovery". I would budget 3-4 days of doing absolutely NOTHING for sure and having someone with you. ONE THING I wasn't prepared to experience that I rarely see ppl talking about is is the nerve pain/ burning sensations/ pins and zaps that you feel when your nerves are trying to find each other again post surgery. Also, I'm still numb on the bottom side of my breasts. Both my nipples have sensation!I cannot wait to see how they look at the 1 month mark and the 3 month mark. I wish I could fast forward lol. I'm gonna attached as many photos as possible but if you are considering getting a breast aug, GO WITH HIM!
I received outstanding service from Dr. Stoker and his team. I had a neck lift, ear reduction and eye lid reduction surgery in November 2020. Dr. Stoker provided me in-depth consultation of my options. Post-survey care has been beyond my expectation. I highly recommend Dr. Stoker. I had interviewed other plastic surgeons, but I found Dr. Stoker to be more personable and he took time to answer all my questions and honestly advise me of expected outcomes. I am amazed at the outcome, his honesty and openness as well as the quality of his work.

Horrible, god-awful. Would not recommend for someone who has a small face. I started out with my brother saying I looked like Jay Leno. The chin was giant, and looked like a man's chin. The revision was better, but it was moved to the left side and although it was lopsided my doctor tried to congratulate me that nothing like infection happened. I'm having it removed completely in January. Dr. David Stoker May be a great surgeon but he's not the perfectionist he once was. It's appalling that he let me leave his office.
I have wanted a breast augmentation for years. I kept telling myself that they’ll grow on their own eventually. Well, I turned 29 and nothing. So I started to do research for months and months, asking around and posting on Facebook groups for the best surgeon. I must have looked into 20+ surgeons but was immediately interested in Dr. Reish more-so than other surgeons. First of all, his consultations were free! Unheard of!! Let’s be real, that’s a big deal when other surgeons want up to $500 for just a few moments of their virtual time. The gesture and courtesy is so appreciated! A little customer service goes SUCH a long way. At first, like others I’m sure, I wondered if it was free because he was going to be less qualified. Absolutely not! He is Harvard trained and his Instagram before and after photos truly speak for themselves. He primarily is a Nose God (truly) performing perfect rhinoplasties left and right. But I meticulously searched through all his breast augmentation before and after photos and I was sold that I would trust him to do this for me. By far, his after photos had the MOST NATURAL looking results that truly suited the patient’s body. I did the free consultation on FaceTime in July which was only a few minutes and he explained exactly what he would do for me to get the result I wanted. I felt comfortable with him and knew that if I would decide on this surgery, he would be the one to do it. I spent months thinking on it, making sure I truly wanted to do this and for the right reasons. I never felt pressure from him or his office to make a decision or to go ahead with it. I came to that decision on my own and eventually booked it for December. From then on, it was truly smooth sailing. I had my pre-op appointment virtually with Dr. Reish (which was short and sweet), I sent over medical clearance from my PCP, I had my meds sent over to my pharmacy in advance, I got a Covid swab at their office a few days before the surgery. The night before my surgery, the anesthesiologist called me and let me know about when I should stop eating and drinking. I came in the next day (so nervous) and I had plenty of time to change into the patient gown, etc. Plenty of time to speak thoroughly with the nurse and was given implants of different sizes to put into a surgical bra to see which I liked better. After agonizing over it and not being able to decide between 215cc and 235cc, I just figured I would trust Dr. Reish and let him tell me what he thinks. He decided 215cc was best for my frame, didn’t even hesitate, and he seemed very confident, so I trusted that he knows best. Anyway, getting set up in the operating room was no issue, and I was made to feel very comfortable. Since I am giving you the real and honest details, I will tell you I definitely woke up with more pain than I was mentally prepared for. I definitely remember shedding a few tears. The nurses were super kind though, they gave me extra strength Tylenol right away and helped me to get dressed slowly and wheeled me out to the car and helped me get in the passenger seat. I was loopy and in a lot of pain but I remember their kind words. The first night was definitely pretty rough, took me a few hours to fall asleep and in an upright position because I couldn’t do anything else. I STRONGLY recommend having someone with you that will help you with everything the first day!! But every day after kept getting better and better and the pain became much more manageable pretty quickly. The medications definitely helped. The most difficult thing for me personally was sleeping only on my back for a week because it made my back so sore. By day 5, I was taking pain medication more for my back than my chest! I am writing this review on day 7 after my post-op appointment and I haven’t taken the strong pain meds at all in a couple of days now. Post-op appointment went well, he was totally right about going with the 215cc. Rachel Rubin (the PA) came to take a look and answer my questions as did Dr. Reish. I got to ask everything I was concerned about and they made me feel confident about my healing! By the way, Rachel was also very kind and reassuring and I didn’t feel rushed. This was a super long review, but I hope it helps someone else out there feel confident in going through with their breast augmentation surgery with Dr. Reish and his team. They are all really kind, professional, and outstanding. If I could do it all over again, I would choose him as my surgeon again! And if I ever have any other future cosmetic surgeries or procedures, I will most definitely be going back to him. And already recommended him to a friend!! Updated on 26 Dec 2020: I wrote a lower body lift review and it looks like real self posted someone else’s breast aug review to my post. I have no idea how this could’ve happened. I will contact real self to see if they can fix this. But essentially what I wrote in my lower body lift review was that this doctor And his fantastic team made me feel very comfortable asking a ton of questions helping me get comfortable with the idea of doing this procedure. Once he did the procedure he is extremely skilled my incisions were done evenly all the way around and very thin this man is an artist!
Dr Stoker performed liposuction of the flank area for me. I had the surgery done about 4 months ago and wanted to wait for my final results to do my review. I must he did an excellent job, he is meticulous about his work. He was maintained sterile technique the whole time. You can tell he is a perfectionist. I had no complications and I’m happy with my results. He gave me a very fair price as well. I’m glad I chose him as my surgeon.
