Patient Reviews
Apr 12, 2023
Dr. Stern was able to reverse my colostomy after another doctor. Dr. Dekker failed to do so. He is very thorough from beginning to end. After reading some reviews, it appears he may be too businesslike for some people. He is a surgeon and the guy that’s going to change your life. If you need a friend go see a psychiatrist if you are looking for a surgeon feel blessed that you found this guy. This is my fourth surgery for this problem and my best outcome. The staff in Fairfax Hospital love this guy’s work.
