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.

Fantastic physician. Caring. He is friendly and very approachable. Takes excellent care of his patients with his extensive knowledge base.

My 90-year-old mom was a patient of his for 20 years or so. Our family saw many of the same things other reviewers have mentioned - hard to get an appointment, hard to get a phone call back from him or his office, condescending, etc. Our mom died on February 21 after spending 12+ hours in a hallway at Wheeling Hospital. Dr. Stern's office is in Tower 5 which was adjacent to that hallway. A nurse practitioner for the hospital was in communication with him regarding Mom's treatment yet he never came to the hallway to see her. It would have given her some comfort to see her doctor. I tried calling him multiple times over two weeks after she passed away and have not heard back from him. Think that says a lot about this doctor.

Not a favorable review. My father went to him for years. He is elderly. He then needed to go into hospital. WE learned that he was totally on wrong medicines. He would not call back his care giver. We moved him to new provider afterwards. When my father pushed to go back to him, Dr Stern told him that he does not take quitters. This is the worst bed side manner I have ever seen as well as his oversight of my fathers health.

When you make an apt., it's usually not with the doctor. You see a NP who is not knowledgeable or friendly. They often cancel/reschedule appointments. I have been a pt for three years and have only seen Dr. S once (he forgot to check my ears during physical assessment and I ended up at Urgent Care later on that day for a ruptured ear drum due to a horrible ear infection that he missed). My last apt. I specifically asked to be seen by the Dr--waiting an extra 3 days only to walk in and see the NP
