Dr. Stoker's Dream Team—A Kingdom of Excellence First Up. Morgan—a true embodiment of grace and strength. Certified Surgical Technician Morgan is a stunning, statuesque presence in the office—calm, professional and quietly powerful. She's all business in the best way: efficient, respectful and deeply focused. Every interaction I had with her made me feel understood, supported and completely cared for. Her quiet confidence was its own kind of comfort and it meant the world to me. Then there's Krystal, Director of Nursing, my OR angel. Before my surgery, Krystal took care of all my pre-op vitals and prepararion with such warmth, kindness and humor. She made what could have been a nerve-wracking moment feel easy and fun. We had an impromptu "boob talk" and Krystal was so open, supportive and human—exactly what you hope for when you're stepping into such a big moment. Her nurturing energy stayed with me long after I left pre-op. I also want to thank Dr. Patel, my anesthesiologist. She was lovely and made me feel reassured and safe as I prepared to go under. Knowing I was in such capable, compassionate hands gave me an incredible sense of peace going into surgery. And then, of course, Aubree Farrell—Nurse Angel Extraordinaire! If I could give Aubree a thousand stars, I would. From the moment I walked into Dr. Stoker’s office, Aubree has been my guiding light — supportive, nurturing, professional and genuinely kind in every way. She was the first face to welcome me, the calming presence by my side pre-surgery, the gentle voice that reassured me as I woke up from anesthesia and the caring soul who made sure I was safe and hugged goodbye afterward. Even while managing an intense workload (I woke up to see her writing and working so diligently at her station — truly nonstop!), Aubree never wavered in her warmth, attentiveness, or incredible positive energy. She is a rare gem — the perfect blend of skill, heart and grace. I am so grateful to have had Aubree as my nurse and I know without a doubt that my healing journey has been made exponentially better because of her. She is pure magic and Dr. Stoker’s office is lucky beyond words to have her. And finally, introducing the true star of the kingdom—board-certified plastic surgeon and master of transformation, Dr. David Stoker, MD, FACS—though he's so much more than any title could capture. Dr. Stoker is everything you could hope for in a surgeon — and so much more. From my very first consultation, I felt I was in the hands of not only an expert, but a deeply caring human being who genuinely listens, understands and works with you to create the very best possible outcome. He has a rare combination of technical brilliance, aesthetic artistry, grounded kindness and a lightness of spirit that immediately puts you at ease. Throughout my journey, Dr. Stoker has been honest about what's possible, always delivering hope and encouragement alongside his professional insights. He is thoughtful in his approach, confident in his recommendations and consistently radiates a calm, happy energy that makes the entire process feel so much more empowering and positive. I often think of him as my "happy, handsome doctor"—someone who floats through his days with a natural joy because he knows he's helping people transform their lives. His work doesn't just change appearances—it restores confidence, renews self-esteem and inspires people to go out into the world shining even brighter. The results already speak for themselves and I feel so grateful and lucky to have found my way to Dr. Stoker and his incredible team. He is a true master of his craft and a gift to any patient lucky enough to be under his care. I would recommend Dr. Stoker without hesitation to anyone seeking surgical excellence combined with genuine heart. I trust him completely and I’m so excited to continue this healing journey with him guiding the way.
Stacy Wright Sets the Standard: A Steady Hand, Soulful Presence and Transformational Skill. It's rare to find someone in the medical-aesthetic world who brings equal parts precision, presence and grace -- but Stacy does exactly that. She has the hands of a technician, the intuition of a healer and the professionalism of someone deeply committed to the people she serves. Every moment with her -- from her calm, steady energy to the meticulous way she prepares, explains and executes -- is a quiet masterclass in care. There is a stillness to Stacy, but don't mistake it for passivity. She observes deeply. She listens fully. She works with the kind of focused intention that makes you realize: you're not just in good hands -- you're in rare ones. Her approach is grounded but never rigid. Gentle and always so caring--with a presence that makes you feel genuinely supported. She respects the process, the patient and the unseen emotional layers that often come with both. You'll never feel rushed. You'll feel considered. Cared for. Seen. Whatever title you give her -- RN, specialist, aesthetic nurse -- Stacy is more than that. She's the kind of person whose presence elevates everything and everyone around her. Spaces feel calmer. People feel steadier. The whole room shifts into ease when she walks in. And if you're lucky enough to be in her care, you'll understand immediately: she isn't just skilled. She's exceptional.
