“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. In addition to my extensive experience in the above treatments, I am also certified in CoolSculpting. My keen insight into the needs of patients, along with my exceptional technique, has made me a welcome addition to Stoker Plastic Surgery.

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 of 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!

Danielle, Patient Care Coordinator  

“Beauty is not flawless; it shines even through your flaws.”   

I have always had the desire to make people feel their best. At a young age, I would put makeup on my mom and grandma and beg to give them facials, manicures, and pedicures. After getting into the medical field, I became a certified makeup artist doing two things I’ve always been passionate about; caring for others while making people feel beautiful on the outside and inside. I continued to do make-up part-time on the weekends for weddings and special events until I got into the aesthetics industry, where I found my true calling. The joy I felt watching patients transform like beautiful butterflies brought so much fulfillment to my life. I am so grateful to be part of such a great team here at Stoker Plastic Surgery. Having the opportunity to watch patients find their confidence and care for them every step of the way is an honor and is what gives meaning to my work.”

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!
