    Comments: Doctor Stark and his team are amazing!!! I had been experiencing knee pain for over a year. The pain was only getting worse and I had to stop all physical activities due to the discomfort. I am a fourth grade teacher so my professional life was suffering as well. After a long journey, an MRI determined that I had a high-grade tear of the semi-membranous muscle (hamstring tendon). It seemed like open knee surgery was the only possible solution. I did not want to take that route if I could avoid it. Dr. Stark was knowledgeable and kind. He walked me through all my options. What I appreciated the mos about him was his professional honesty and integrity. At the end, we decided to do what we could to avoid the surgery. That is how I came to have my PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) injection. Tovi Brooks is the manager of the program and he was my angel. He was with me every step of the way, providing comfort and support. The injection was done in the office and withing a couple of hours I was on my way home. The first couple of days were intense and painful. After three days the pain starting to go away and surely enough as the days progressed , I kept getting better and better. It is now 6 weeks since my injection, and for the first time in over a year, I have no pain. I can do 30 minutes on the stationary bike and walk my baby dog with no pain at all. My goal is to be able to dance again with my fourth graders by the time our Multicultural Festival get here in May. I have never taken the time to write a review for a doctor but my experience with Dr. Stark and his crew has been meaningful to me. I highly recommend his expertise as well as the PRP avenue as I way to handle issues similar to mine. I can smile again and I will forever be thankful to all of them
