Orthopaedic Specialists of North County

Knee is doing better than I expected. Following the protocol is super important and what has helped me. Love the entire team I have met and worked with. My physical therapist Jennifer is fantastic.

Dr. Stark is the best- an incredibly gifted surgeon! Dr. Stark and his awesome team advocated on my behalf, supported & encouraged me throughout the entire process. I was on my feet immediately following surgery even back working out to light running within a month! I am immensely grateful and emphatically recommend Dr. Stark!

Dr. Stark was incredible in repairing a full rupture of my Achilles tendon, invoking the latest technique for quicker healing/recovery. He's a man of few words, and busy, so don't expect to get flowered with attention from the DR! His support staff can fill that gap - PA Chris is amazing too. Also, in order to communicate, there is a direct link with the his staff to message back/forth (make sure to get that connection - they respond right away). GL all!

Dr. Stark performed an ACLR Surgery on my left knee on the 8th of August, 2024. For the first couple weeks it was rough, just like the beginning of any recovery. Despite that, in just two months I had achieved full flexion and -4° hypertension with my left knee, my right knee is at -6°. It is now three months out and I feel little pain and none more often than not. Based on my experience, I believe he did an excellent job and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs knee surgery. He was also very knowledgeable and professional with a dash of humor thrown in. Thank you Dr. Stark

Dr. Stark is absolutely amazing. I have been in pain for over 2 years after my first ACL/Meniscus surgery and no one could figure it out. Within 2 months of coming back from deployment Dr. Stark was able to help me, and I can't thank him and his staff enough!

I am very happy and satisfied with Dr. Stark, Chris (PA) and their medical assistants. They made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions regarding pre op and post op surgery. They were very prompt in answering my emails and phone calls with any questions and concerns. Thank you so much! Dolores R.

Excellent service, excellent surgery, excellent follow up, I feel better than ever now in March 2024 and the shoulder surgery was just in October 2023. Dr. Erik Stark and his physician assistant Chris are awesome! The office staff and nurses are top-notch. No place better to handle your needs. They took care of me with the utmost in care and professionalism.

Dr. Stark was personable and answered all of my questions. When I am ready for surgery, I will again consult Dr. Stark and ask him to perform my surgery.
