Dr. Darryl Stern

It’s always disappointing to read such great reviews of a doctor having time for his patients, etc. and then discovering that while he has the time for his existing patients, becoming a patient is a different matter entirely.
Being the beginning of March, and suffering from an acute need for an asthma inhaler it was disappointing to hear that he wouldn’t have time to see me until May. *sigh* Moving on.

First of all, if you’re in a hurry then Dr. Stern is not your guy.
I was quite pleased with my first visit with Dr. Stern. He asked lots of pertinent questions and listened thoroughly to my answers. He suggested several possibilities for solutions and let me choose.
He takes all the time he needs with you to understand your problem. Has a great «bed side manner.»

Sometimes there are people who are just so good at what they do Dr. Darryl Stern is one of those people. Like He is the best doctor you will experience. He has a warm personality, funny, caring gets things done. He will never rush you out, or make you feel unwelcome or stuff. He takes his time… I mean seems like common sense for a doctor to do that, yet that’s not common at all.
Look you will have to wait sometimes longer for your appointment. just letting you know now… GET OVER IT. Some situations in life are worth the wait, Health in my book is one of those situations. It will cost you a lot more money and time in that matter to go to a bad doctor.
Also his staff are awesome, they are all good people who have been there since I started going there.
Lastly just to add, I have sent 3 people to him, who were mind blown that such a great Doctor exists!
I’d pay Unilocal to give him 6 Stars if I could.

Dr. Stern is a great physician. He is truly in the medical field to help patients and not to make a fortune. He’ll spend all the time necessary to understand your medical issues thoroughly and then provide his best medical recommendations. He is very patient centric and allows you to express your opinions and feelings about your care. On my last visit, he spend over 45 minutes with me in the exam room. For physicians that is almost unheard of. He has my highest recommendation.

Seriously a Fantastic Doctor. So unlike most… where you wait forever and then they see you for 2 seconds. You still have the wait, but when Dr. Stern sees you he takes the time to understand everything. If he doesn’t know something — he will admit it — which most doctors don’t know how to do. He also has a conversation with you about your health. So you feel part of the process and not like someone is telling you what to do. AND he returns call… even if it’s late at night — usually around 9 pm. Honestly I don’t know when this guy sleeps. My husband is from a different country and he always brags how everything is better back home… yeah yeah blah blah blah. He goes to Doctor Stern too and this is the first doctor he says is as good as a doctor back home. That’s a HUGE compliment. If you want a doctor who gives you individual attention and includes you in your health plan, and just has an overall fantastic manner then go to Stern.
