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.
I went to Doctor Stoker for a breast reduction, and I'm just going to say, right of the bat, he did a phenomenal job. Both him and his staff are so kind, professional, and welcoming, they all truly did their best to make me feel comfortable and happy, which they absolutely did! Coming from someone who is 18, I was a bit nervous to go through such a life changing procedure. I'm totally glad I did, and I wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere else!
I got a rapid recovery breast augmentation with the marvelous Dr. Stoker! The results are amazing the whole experience was absolutely wonderful. The staff was great! Very smooth. Easy in and way out. Was exactly what I was hoping the whole experience to be. EASY! No pain at all. Super natural results. Went from a 32A to 32D!
Dr. Stoker was absolutely amazing. I have zero complaints. I was very self conscious of this issue, and even nervous about my consult, but he made me feel very comfortable. My incisions are now fully healed and I couldn’t be happier. I’m actually upset that I waited this long, especially as my case was very severe. My friends and family who don’t know about the procedure have asked me what happened for me to suddenly have such a boost in my confidence. Forever grateful. Truly.
I went to Dr. Stoker office for concern with the vertical lines that I had above my lip. Carla Crespo, one of his injection specialists helped me through my first time getting a filler. She was amazing, talked me through all the options, pro/cons and cost. My lips were a little swollen for first few days as she said, but now they look perfect. I couldn't be happier with these results. I highly reccommend Dr. Stocker's office and am so grateful for Carla!!! And so thankful for how my lips look!!
My surgeon was Dr. Stoker in Los Angeles. I was a 34A and we went with 300cc on the left side and 320cc on the right silicone implants. I had surgery this morning and I'm truly in shock about what a breeze today has been. It was a little sore with certain movements but other than I've had zero pain. My surgeon specializes in quick recovery times and I highly highly suggest it. I haven't been able to unwrap yet but posting initial day one and before photos below. I wanted the natural look and I trusted Dr. Stoker to give me that as well as fix my asymmetry . I'll continue to post progress photos and talk about recovery but so far so good. I even enjoyed dinner with friends tonight (at home but still). Highly recommend his rapid recovery procedure! Updated on 31 Jul 2020: Day 2 and still in no pain (just soreness when getting out of bed!). I'm super happy and excited with the results so far. Had a facetime with Dr.Stoker today where I was unable to undo the surgical bra. 🙂 Updated on 5 Aug 2020: I get my incisions out in a few days, this is week 1 post op. Finished with antibiotics, no pain just slight soreness.
I am a registered nurse and often look from a different lens then others. All I can say is Dr. Stoker and his entire give the highest level of care. Their office is impeccably clean and state of the art. Their kindness and attention to detail were obvious from my first visit. Having had prior breast surgery that ended up with complications (pneumothorax and capsular contraction). I was super nervous to have another surgery. Dr. Stoker was patient, LISTENED carefully to my concerns and was realistic but confident that he would be able fix the problem safely. I had surgery without complications. I'm 5 months post-op and couldn't be happier with the results. I would not hesitate to go back to him or refer friends and family. Thank you Dr. Stoker you're the BEST!
