Dr. David Stoker is the best Plastic surgeon on the planet. I lost over 120 lbs through diet and exercise.. unfortunately I was left with a bit of loose skin, around my body. I was doing my research for surgeons who do tummy tucks and I remember seeing Dr. Stoker on a TV show ABC's extreme weight loss, where he is the selected doctor to do the procedure because he's the best at what he does. I looked him up on the Internet and all I saw was positive reviews from thousands of patients.. I had to come and see him. I booked my consultation, first thing I saw when I came into his office were the smiling faces of his employees, from the front desk to the nurses, Heather, Sarah, Loraina, Pam to name a few of them. I then saw an incredible view of the Marina, the office he has is completely state of the art. Dr. Stoker sat with my mother and I for literally over an hour talking to us, he's a very down to earth guy. He told me the chair i was sitting on was over 15k$ and he wasn't joking. His credentials in plastic surgery exceeded my expectations, his before and after work in the pictures he showed me were amazing, he even teaches surgeons on how to do the procedure properly. I came in with the intention of getting a tummy tuck but Dr. Stoker said a circumferential tummy tuck would benefit me the most, because of the loose skin on my lower back. I went ahead and got my quote for the procedure, it was well worth it. To have the best plastic surgeon operate on you won't be cheap, but it's your body and trust me it's well worth it. I didnt have any consultations with any other surgeons because i knew i was going with the best. The day of the surgery I was put to sleep and after 5 hours I woke up, no pain at all. I could walk just a few hours after surgery no problem.. that's the work of Dr. Stoker.. I was literally opened up all around then stiched up and I was walking within a few hours it was amazing. I stayed at an aftercare facility for one night, Dr. Stoker personally came to see me early in the morning at 5 AM... what type of Dr. would do that for his patients. He said everything looked good and showed me my body. I now have 6 pack abs and a beach body. My parents saw my body and were amazed at how good it looked. All thanks to Dr. Stoker, I literally had no pain at all and now I'm 11 days after my operation typing this. Thank you Dr. Stoker and staff, you all make an incredible team. If anyone is considering a surgeon go to Dr. Stoker.. he will exceed your expectations.

What can I say about Dr. Stoker? I first met Dr. Stoker in 2003 when he was working with another surgeon. He was very warm and seemed very knowledgeable concerning his craft. However, due to the demands of being a military family, I was unable to schedule my surgery at that time, but I never forgot the impression he made on me.

When I was finally ready to have surgery, I never even considered going with a different surgeon even after living in many different parts of the country. He was always on my mind. So I basically tracked him down only to find him in a beautiful new facility with his own practice! Yay!!

Our "reunion" consultation went very well. He made me feel just as comfortable as our initial meeting but he was even more knowledgeable about his craft which made me feel even more comfortable. I initially wanted breast implants but Dr. Stoker assured me he could achieve the look I wanted by using my natural breast tissue. I loved the fact that he didn't push for a procedure I didn't need.

Surgery day: I'm prone to anxiety so I always have a little anti-anxiety kit ready to go. I'm surprised to say, I didn't even use it! Everyone from the ladies at the front desk to the anesthesiologist to the OR nurse, to Dr. Stoker, they all made me feel at ease.

The anesthesiologist was so amazing!! She even gave me time to say a little prayer before she put me under. Woke up with just a teeny bit of nausea but after that, nothing! No nausea! Dr. Stoker personally called my husband post op to let him know how it went (hubby loved that).

Results: I'm 12 weeks post-op and I LOVE my results. Dr. Stoker is truly an artist and a gifted surgeon. He did an outstanding job!! In a nutshell: I waited 12 years and it was well worth it!!!! Love him!!!

Thank you Dr Stoker! My breasts are amazing and I am thrilled with the results. I had a breast lift with a small implant recently and can't stop looking at them. They look exactly like they did when I was 22 years old...only better.

The best part is: with clothes on I look exactly like I did before the surgery. I am a business owner and certainly didn't want my employees to be aware of the change and distracted from serving our clientele. I told Dr. Stoker I wanted to look as big as possible without clothes on as long as I could maintain a conservative appearance in a business setting. He certainly delivered and I'm so grateful.

I was referred to Dr. Stoker by one of my clients who had a tummy tuck with him. It was the best one I'd ever seen! The smallest scar across her stomach and so very low. She can wear a scanty bikini and no one would guess. I own a day spa so we see a lot of plastic surgery results. Guess what my next procedure will be? I have 2 children in their 30's now and it's my time :)

Dr. Stoker showed me so many before & after pictures which really helped. He has them published in beautiful books so it's easy to get an idea of what can be done. He's done thousands of these transforming procedures. I was very impressed with his knowledge and compassion. Everyone in the office is kind and accommodating. I highly recommend Dr. Stoker. I'm so happy :)

This man is an artist. He clearly loves changing peoples lives for the better through plastic surgery. I really like him, he is very proud of his accomplishments and ability, as he should be, but maintains a humbleness and genuine sweetness that I really appreciate. I have never seen a more enthusiastic Dr. I had the surgery in his new operating room at the Marina del Rey location. Everything went perfectly and I felt calm and confident in the staff. Everyone in his office has been wonderful. I have had excellent care post op and my phone calls are always answered or returned promptly. I would highly Recommend this Dr and his lovely staff.

This is my 2nd procedure with Dr Stoker, and he is such an amazing surgeon, he is highly skilled, and his care of me has been exemplary. His kind and caring demeanor is just what you need to get you through a procedure like this. His time and attention is generous. Dr. Stoker is clearly at the top of his field and is one of those rare Plastic surgeons that excels at every procedure he performs, which is reassuring if like me are looking to have multiple surgeries. As with my first surgery, my results are outstanding, my entire experience with Dr. Stoker has been so wonderfully positive, I love his attention to detail, and he is a perfectionist when it comes to the quality of his work. I'd never go to another surgeon!

I interviewed several different surgeons but Dr. Stoker was hands down the most qualified and confident. He seemed sincerely excited to work on my case and cares about the final aesthetic more than anyone else I spoke with.

Dr. Stoker is a fantastic doctor who gave me the incredible body that I always wanted! He carefully listened to my concerns/desires, and gave me exactly what I asked for and needed. I am an athlete who trains triathlons and martial arts. He was very sensitive to both my desires about my body and my active lifestyle. Dr Stoker was able to perform a breast augmentation, lipo-suction and otoplasty (ear pinning) in a single morning that fulfilled both my needs and desires. I love the body that I have, and enjoy it even more thanks to Dr Stoker.

My wife had a major weight-loss 6 years ago, and had come to the point where the excess skin needed to be removed. Dr. Stoker sat with us for almost an hour the first time we met to go over all of the pros/cons and suggested procedures. Turns out, he suggested less work than she thought she needed! From the moment we walked in the door, his staff made us feel comfortable and welcome. As the person watching from the outside, they made me feel part of the process and explained things incredibly well to us both. She is not quite two weeks post-surgery and could not be happier with the results. Her arms and stomach are healing quickly and the scars will be visible only to her and I. If you are looking for an absolute pro - call Dr. Stoker!

I am so incredibly happy with the results from my surgery with Dr. Stoker. It all started for me with a deviated septum that was causing me a lot of sinus infections and migraines. I went to Dr. Stoker on a recommendation from a trusted friend to see what could be done. In addition to having my deviated septum fixed, I also asked for some cosmetic work on my nose. I have wanted a new nose since I was a teenager, but was always nervous of how it might change the way I look. Dr. Stoker did exactly what I had hoped for and his work was so good, that people didn't notice that I had my nose changed until I point it out to them. That's a sign of a great surgeon if you ask me! Dr. Stoker personally called to check on me the few days following my surgery to make sure that I was ok. His level of artistry and service are superb, and his staff is amazing and kind. Dr. Stoker's nurse, Tami, couldn't be any greater than she already is. She makes you feel so at home and secure. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Stoker and his staff. I will definitely be recommending him to friends and he will have repeat business from me for sure.

Dr. Stoker is an amazing surgeon who does not disappoint. He is caring and responsive and you couldn't ask for a better doctor. If you look at his work on his website you get a realistic idea of what to expect. When I was finally ready for a breast reduction and tummy tuck, at age 60, it was clear that he was the most gifted and skillful surgeon I could find. His office staff was compassionate and professional, his operating room is on site and state-of-the-art, and I feel so blessed to have the fantastic results I have after only a few months. Thank you again and again, Dr. Stoker!

I traveled across the country and stayed in Marina Del Rey for two weeks o that I could have my Mommy Makover done By Dr Stoker. I am so glad I did. In my opinion he is one of the best plastic surgeons in the country. I also appreciate that he is a genuinely nice person, easy to trust and work with. He clearly loves what he does, helping folks like me get back to as close to our pre children looks as possible. My husband and I are thrilled with the results so far and totally satisfied ith our experience with Dr Stoker nd his lovely staff. I have to add that the anesthesiologist was the best I ever had. If you are consideing platic surgery do yourself a favor and conult with Dr Stoker I am confident you will be in the best hands possible.

I went to Dr. Stoker concerned about healing time and scars because my dermatologist had indicated that I do not scar well and tend to develop keloids. She had noticed this with some moles she had removed. Dr. Stoker's expertise with mommy makeovers had me back to work in a week and I never had any dark or purple bruising. My scars look great and already fading after only 8 wks. I never had more than 12 cc of drainage and I truely think that it was due to his delicate touch with the lipo and the minimal tissue trauma that it caused. My husband says I look 18 again and we couldnt be happier. Also looked great in my bikini last week on the beach. Not bad for a 36 yr old mommy of 2 :)

I had a tummy tuck and breast reduction with laser bra lift two years ago and I am getting ready to go back for a neck lift. Dr. Stoker was warm and informative as well as skilled in his craft. I am over the moon with my results and still can not believe that for the first time in my life I have a flat belly and even sized breasts. I would not go to anyone else for any plastic surgery procedure.
