Featured Reviews

Dr. Stoker is an exceptional surgeon who's skills come not only from his extensive experience and natural talent but also from his incredible passion for what he does. He is truly invested in getting the best possible results for his patients. The staff at his clinic is friendly and caring. They obviously strive to reach the high standards set by Dr. Stoker and provide fantastic service to his patients. As for results, it may be uncommon but after only a week the improvements I was hoping for are becoming more clear by the day and my recovery has been smoother than I could have hoped. Upper and Lower bleph - My eyes already appear bigger and more symmetrical even with some swelling Deep Plane Face lift - Despite swelling and grey stubble all over my face, my partner and friends have said I look 10 years younger. Gynecomastia surgery - Again despite swelling my pectoral muscles are more defined and the breast tissue that was femanizing the shape of my chest is gone. Abdominoplasty - aka tummy tuck. Although I haven't had the issues of pregnancy or extreme weight loss my abdominal wall was in extreme need of repair. The seperation between the left and right side was very severe and there would be no way to repair it without loose skin from stitching the two sides tightly together. According to my partner when combing the results of the gyno and tummy tuck, my "torso looks like it belongs to a guy in his 20's" Considering that I am only a week post op and need to allow at least 2-3 weeks for the abdominal swelling to subside I am ecstatic about her response and the response of my friends. All in all I am very much looking forward to getting my after pictures done after my recovery is complete so that I can share with the results with anyone that might be considering these procedures.

From the initial consultation, to going through the process, and now on the other end, I'm so happy I went with Dr. Stoker. It was an incredible experience! Dr. Stoker is an expert in this field, having done over 20k procedures and having written chapters on the topic of liposuction surgery. First: Surgery went extremely well and I came out with almost zero pain. Definitely didn't need to take any pain meds. Was sore but overall very manageable and was back at work the 2nd day after surgery. Second: The result. They said you have to give it 3 months before you see the final results. The day after surgery, when Dr. Stoker removed the compression and padding, I saw my body and I couldn't recognize it. The "tire" was gone, front and back. Day 1 and I was already satisfied. I cannot WAIT to see myself in 3 months from now. He did a masterful job. This wasn't a shortcut for me. I put in the work at the gym and in the kitchen. However, enough damage was done whereas without this surgery, I wouldn't be able to have my ideal body. As much as I've spent on cars, clothes, peptides, and other things, I never realized this was what I deeply wanted. I'm grateful I pulled the trigger and invested in myself and this one body I got. I absolutely recommend Dr. Stoker, he really is an expert on this topic and someone you can trust will do it right the first time. He was great to work with along with the friendly staff in his office. Go get your transformation and keep working towards the life, body, health you want. Don't give up and never compromise quality! YOLO!

Dr. Stoker and his staff are amazing. I had a deep plane face and neck lift. This may sound strange, but I felt embarrassed to have these procedures done and also to spend a significant amount of money on myself. I was worried that I would seem vain. But that’s not what this is about. After years of giving everything I had to raising my children, working, and being a caregiver to adult family members, my face and neck were a visible roadmap to those experiences. When I looked in the mirror, it wasn’t about vanity. I looked exhausted, prematurely aged, and unhappy, even when I wasn’t. Having the face and neck lift done was a reset and really life-changing for me. I am no longer wearing scarves and I’ve broken out my necklaces again. I smile more and put on less makeup. When I look in the mirror, I don’t see someone who had work done, I see myself 10 years ago. Choosing Dr Stoker as my surgeon was an act of self-care. I did not want to cut corners on something so important. Dr. Stoker’s years of experience, before and after gallery photos with natural looking results, and his incredible staff sold the deal that I was making the right choice by picking him as my surgeon. Six weeks out from surgery, I tell many people with pride what I had done. I just had my annual check up and the doctor commented how refreshed I looked. She could not tell that I had surgery done, which is the end result I was looking for. There was never anything to be ashamed of. I deserved it. You deserve it! When I look in the mirror now I see self-love coupled with the work of an amazing, skilled surgeon who has years of experience. Dr Stoker achieved my goal of taking off the past 10 years of wear and tear from my face and neck. In the end, it’s a personal choice, but if you do decide to have a procedure, you can trust Dr. Stoker

Hello Jennifer, We are happy to hear your experience was top notch. We strive for excellence and elevating the patient experience. Your kind words mean a great deal to us. Warmest regards, The Stoker Plastic Surgery Team

Carla is an UBER-MASTER with a super soft touch, artistic approach as well as an advanced understanding both of anatomy and product techniques. She was able to work her magic to elevate areas that had dropped, re-flate areas that had lost volume and compensate for areas where I had asymmetry or discrepancies with beauty and balance. It was so subtle and so natural but I was instantly restored from 2D to 3D and at least 10 years younger. Crisp lines, sharper smoother jaw and soft cheekbones. We analyzed each area with her 'plan' before she injected. And then look together at each area afterwards, so I was a part of the process. Every step of the way I was still me, just the better, younger version. I could not recommend her more!! If you are anywhere in or near Southern California it is well worth the drive to the Marina. She's everything an injector should be. And more.

Hello Madalin, We are grateful for your wonderful feedback about your experience! Thank you for recommending Stacy and our practice. Kindest regards, The Stoker Plastic Surgery Team

I honestly feel so lucky to have found Brittany — she is amazing at what she does. I go to her for Botox and fillers, and every experience has been incredible. She’s so attentive, gentle, and really takes the time to understand exactly what you want. When I decided to try lip filler for the first time, I was really nervous, but she made me feel completely comfortable and confident. The results were beyond my expectations — natural, balanced, and exactly what I had hoped for. She’s incredibly detail-oriented and truly cares about her clients. I trust her completely with my face, which says everything. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone skilled, honest, and genuinely talented!

We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you at Stoker Plastic Surgery on your next visit. Warmest regards, The Stoker Plastic Surgery Team

I had an incredible experience at Stoker Plastic Surgery. Right from check in, I felt taken care of and confident I chose the right place. Brittany is fabulous and truly educated me on all things botox etc. We talked about what I wanted to achieve and if it would be possible or not with my current features. She truly knows what would look good and not etc. I felt super comfortable discussing with her every little detail on what I wanted in my services. Overall, I had a fabulous experience. All the staff are super welcoming and nice. I am very satisfied with my results and am thinking of going in again to get more. Thank you Stoker Plastic Surgery team!
