“My philosophy is simple: enhance what’s already beautiful, prioritize safety, and aim for long-term skin health with every treatment.”

I am a board-certified Physician Assistant and hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Clemson University and a Master of Medical Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Midwestern University.

Stacy Wright, RN, Injection & Laser Specialist

“Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light.”

After graduating from Purdue University with my undergraduate degree, I completed my nursing degree at Los Angeles Harbor College. I am now a licensed, registered nurse with over 16 years of experience in cosmetic and plastic surgery. Patients have told me that I have a gentle touch and natural results with treatments including dermal fillers, BOTOX® Cosmetic, Ultherapy®, IPL photofacials, laser hair removal, Laser Genesis, KYBELLA®, chemical peels, and microneedling. Listening to patient concerns and providing expert advice, I customize a plan for each patient to achieve their goals and bolster their confidence.

Claudia, Senior Patient Care Coordinator

“Be the reason someone smiles today.”

I’ve always had a passion for helping others and knew I wanted to work in the medical industry. In 1993 I began my career in Dermatology and spent 8 years working as a front-office administrator and insurance biller. Then I moved into the field of Plastic Surgery, which became my true passion over the past 15 years. Combining my love for aesthetic surgery and patient care, I quickly moved into the position of practice manager and surgery consultant at a thriving practice in Beverly Hills.

As the patient care coordinator at Dr. Stoker’s practice, I strive to go above and beyond expectations in order to make every patient’s surgical experience life-changing. Seeing our patient’s self-confidence shine after their aesthetic transformations brings me the most joy!

Mason, Senior Patient Care Coordinator & Sales Director

Born and raised in La Jolla, I am a true Souther Californian with a deep connection to the ocean, wellness, and an active lifestyle. Growing up in San Diego, I spent years working as a beach lifeguard, an experience that instilled discipline, responsibility, and a calm, focused approach under pressure. I attended Penn State, where I studied Strategic and Corporate Communications and competed as a swimmer throughout high school and college, shaping a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a results driven mindset.

I currently work as a Patient Care Coordinator and Sales Director, where I focus on creating a transparent and elevated patient experience from the initial consultation through final results. I am passionate about aesthetics because I believe the best outcomes come from a comprehensive approach that combines surgical intervention with non-surgical treatments. Surgery creates meaningful structural change, while non-surgical treatments help refine, maintain, and optimize results over time.

Outside of work, I prioritize an active, balanced lifestyle. I enjoy wakeboarding, beach volleyball, fitness training, and camping, all of which keep me grounded and energized. Time spent at the beach or on the water, along with moments with my dog, allows me to recharge and stay connected to the environment that shaped me. That balance carries into my work, where precision, consistency, and care define everything I do.

Annalena, Patient Care Coordinator

My passion for beauty, wellness, and feeling confident in your own skin led me to the world of aesthetics. I moved to Los Angeles from Germany, and growing up between cultures shaped my appreciation for individuality, self-expression, and confidence. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies and an Associate’s degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences, which shaped my passion for building meaningful connections. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, going to Pilates, cooking, and skiing, all of which reflect my belief in balance and caring for both mind and body.

As the Patient Coordinator for the non-surgical side of the practice, I guide patients through a wide range of aesthetic treatments, including injectables, neurotoxins, and advanced laser procedures. My goal is to create an experience where patients feel comfortable, supported, and confident throughout their aesthetic journey. I believe aesthetics should enhance how you feel, not change who you are, and I love being part of a process that helps patients feel their best in a way that feels elevated, personalized, and welcoming.

Wendy, Practice Manager

“We make ourselves strong and joyful or weak and miserable, but in both instances, the amount of effort is the same.”

I started my career in 1992 as a receptionist for the chief of plastic surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. For more than 20 years, I’ve worked my way up to practice manager and administrator of our outpatient surgery center. Additionally, I’ve worked as a medical aesthetician, for which I still hold my California license. It’s so exciting to be a part of a growing practice since its inception. I feel honored to work with such a fantastic team of co-workers and under a plastic surgeon who has impeccable skill and devotion to his work and family.

I love living and working by the beach and often boast that my office, which overlooks the marina, has the best view in Los Angeles!

Krystal, Director of Nursing

“What I lack in beauty, I make up for in plastic surgery.”

I joined the team in April 2014 as a registered nurse. I enjoy working with our patients, preparing them for surgery preoperatively, and caring for them postoperatively. I am a part of the surgical team, providing support to the OR staff during surgical procedures to ensure the best possible outcomes. I make certain our patients have the best experience before, during, and after their procedures.

Morgan, Certified Surgical Technician

At a young age, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in medicine. After obtaining my bachelor’s degree in biology as a scholarship athlete, I discovered my passion for surgery and returned to school to study surgical technology.

Plastic surgery quickly became my favorite specialty. I love seeing the confidence patients gain during their transformative journeys. As a Certified Surgical Technician, I’m excited to be a part of the amazing team at Stoker Plastic Surgery. I’m fortunate to be surrounded by exceptional medical professionals as I continue to expand my knowledge.

“Compassion is an action word with no boundaries.” – Prince   

I bring professionalism and kindness to my work as a Registered Nurse. I use my understanding of the human body, empathy, and knowledge to deliver the highest levels of patient care. In addition to plastic surgery, I have worked in hospital settings and rehabilitation centers, assisting patients prepare and recuperate from surgery.

Jordan, Operations Assistant

“Do not set aside your happiness. Do not wait to be happy in the future. The best time to be happy is always now.” Roy T. Bennett

I have always had a passion for helping people and making them feel their best inside and out. After earning my associate’s degree from Santa Monica College in Cosmetology and getting my Esthetician license, I pursued a freelance hair and makeup career. With my passion for the beauty industry and helping people feel their best, I wanted to enter the medical world and see people’s transformation journey.

Being the operations assistant, I strive to make every patient that comes in feel welcomed and appreciated.

Avery, Front Office Administrator

As the Front Office Administrator, I’m dedicated to creating a warm, organized, and seamless experience for every patient from the moment they walk through our doors. With a strong background in both healthcare and hospitality, I strive to ensure each person feels comfortable, supported, and genuinely cared for throughout their visit.

Growing up in Kentucky, I developed an early appreciation for movement, health, and the human body, which inspired me to pursue a career in healthcare. I earned my bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from the University of Kentucky in 2021 and developed hands-on patient care experience across both urology and dermatology before moving to Los Angeles a little over a year ago. I’m especially drawn to plastic surgery and aesthetics because they uniquely blend science with artistry, enhancing natural features while helping patients feel their best.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, running, surfing, skiing, or unwinding on the beach with a crochet project.

Sarah, Front Office Administrator

My devotion to beauty and wellness began in 2001, when I started a 20-year career in the spa and fitness industries as a licensed massage therapist. I also hold a BFA in Theater from NYU and work professionally as a singer and voice actor. Whether healing the body or entertaining, my guiding principle has always been to “be the best part of someone’s day.” I am committed to carrying that ethos forward in my role as Front Office Administrator at Stoker Plastic Surgery. I love connecting with patients and supporting them throughout their journey to becoming the most confident, beautiful, and vibrant version of themselves.
