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.

“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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
