I met Dr Stern, by referral, around 2015-16. He implanted an intrathecal Baclofen pump. All I knew was the name. Dr Stern explained the pump procedure, answered my questions & what would occur at my 1st refill. I had my 1st, required, pump replacement in 2022. Dr Stern is pleasant, nice & easy to talk to. My pump med refills, every 3 months, are painless & quick. I couldn't have asked for a better Dr! Dr Stern has terrific bed side manners. He is the absolute best!
