Patient Reviews
Dec 12, 2024
Dr. Starks has been caring for my 16 yo daughter for a few years now. He's great to have in your corner. He's gotten us into almost immediate appointments. He always calls me back when I ask, even if it's after hours. He LISTENS to my thoughts and suggestions. He works with us through it all. He always finds a solution to our needs. We left him at one point early on because I thought he didn't know what he was doing. After dealing with quite a few others and leaving them with their jaws on the floor, I realized that my daughter's case is so rare that NO ONE knew what was happening. I've had people tell me straight out that her case is way above their education and capabilities and cannot help. Dr. Starks was never intimidated by it and has always remained honest, which I NEED. Yes, he is a talker. If you can get past that, you will see his super powers and realize you are in good hands!
