Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Paul M. Starker is definitely one of the VERY BEST surgeons anywhere . I had needed two operations to correct a triple hernia - including an extremely rare , bilateral inguinoscrotal hernia which contained hard tissue from my left kidney . After researching and meeting with the very best surgeons in both N.J. and N.Y. , I selected Dr. Paul M. Starker to do my required , complex surgery . Dr. Starker explained to me very clearly what would be involved - including the percentages for an adverse outcome . He reminded me of those percentages on the morning of my very rare , complex surgery . However , he had conducted superb pre-op testing and preparation , and his first surgery on me was completely successful ! Dr. Starker then monitored my recovery until he completed the second surgery , also very successfully . " THANK YOU , DR. PAUL M. STARKER , YOU ' RE THE VERY BEST OF THE BEST ! ! ! " Frank P. Cunder

I would recommend Dr. Starker to anyone considering surgery. He has a quite confidence with gives you a feeling of trust and knowing he will provide the best outcome possible. Excellent post op meetings. Always took the time to answer questions in plain, easy to understand language.
