Dr. Stern has made such a difference in our lives, I cannot express how amazing she is.
Resident with dr. Was unprofessional. Dr was not understanding, they should be there to help instead of judge situations. They have no idea what is going on in patient's lives, and should be there to help in any ways that they can instead of being rude and unprofessional.

Dr. Stern is so incredibly thoughtful in her approach. She gathers data to ensure she truly has all the possible information that could help make a diagnosis, makes clear plans and also clear contingency plans. There's a reason she is so well respected. I am grateful for her care of my child.
