Patient Testimonials
Dear Dr. Stoker & Your Team, Thank you so much for aiding in my physical transformation. Everyone treated me and my personal support group with so much respect that it has left me in awe.
Dr. Stoker thank you for your gift of artistry. For being so attentive to not just my wants and desires, but to my true body shape. I love my new breasts! I still am impressed. I dreamed of having beautiful breasts.
Dr. Stoker, you made my dream come true! May God continue to Bless You, your family and your staff. A Grateful Patient! Mary S.
Dr. Stoker, Thank you for doing such an excellent job on me. I am very impressed and pleased with the results. If I hear of anyone wanting this kind of surgery, I will send them your way. Sasha F.
Dear Dr. Stoker & Associates,
Shock and Awe, would best describe the reaction of my wife’s workmates when she returned to work after you performed her facelift and eye enhancement surgery. She, like most individuals, wanted to keep her cosmetic surgery confidential but she found it impossible to do so as her associates continually approached her to compliment and question her about the striking improvements to her appearance. The same enthusiasm and interest is also present with our friends and family members.
If anyone would have ever told me that some say I would even consider having a facelift, I would have said to that individual, “Belleview Hospital is calling you”, however after seeing the magic that performed on my wife, I had to pursue it with an open mind. With my surgery complete and now behind me, I am extremely happy with the results. My wife’s sister and our daughter are also pleased with the outstanding results of their surgery procedures that exceeded their wildest expectations. Dr. Stoker’s knowledge, professionalism and willingness to pursue and employ the latest techniques in plastic surgery will enhance not only the lifestyles of his patients but the reputation and status of plastic surgeons everywhere. Our complete satisfaction with our facial enhancement surgery is only surpassed by the overall professionalism and attention to detail from all of your Medical Staff Support Specialists. Grateful we remain. Ron & Terri C.

Dr. Stoker literally changed my life and the way in which I look at myself. One year ago,I had a rhinoplasty (nose job) performed by doctor Stoker. I didn’t have a bad nose, I just wanted to slightly refine what I was born with.
I was extremely nervous about the whole thing, though I knew that this was something that I definitely wanted to do and I had been shopping around many Los Angeles plastic surgeons.
It was not until I walked into the offices of Marina Plastic Surgery that I finally became comfortable. The entire staff was amazing! They all made me feel so comfortable and were involved and cared every step of the way. The day of the surgery I was cared for so nicely by everyone involved, I felt very safe and comfortable. In the days following the surgery, not only did Dr. Stoker call me at home to check on me personally, but so did the hospital and the anesthesiologist.
As for the results, I could never have asked for anything as beautiful as what I ended up with! I look like I have the nose that I should have been born with, it is so beautiful. My new nose looks like it fits my face and no one would EVER guess I had it done (people don’t believe me when I tell them), my own parents mentioned that I looked different but couldn’t exactly pinpoint why, though my nose looks very different than it did.
I just want to say thank you so much to doctor Stoker and the entire staff at Marina Plastic Surgery and I highly recommend to anyone thinking about getting any type of cosmetic surgery done, to come here and see Dr. Stoker. Thank you, you guys have changed my life. Sincerely, Sophia
I had a BA just over a year ago by Dr. Stoker. I was very nervous about the procedure, to say the least, but Dr. Stoker and his staff put my mind at ease with their professionalism and by truely caring for their patients. I am totally happy with my results and would recommend his services to anyone. It was a great a experience and a year later I still feel and look great. Thank you for everything! Lisa
Dear Dr. Stoker, I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done for me. I truly, and with all my heart, appreciate all of your beautiful work. Jennifer S.
