Reviews of Ran Y. Stark, M.D. (Plastic Surgery)

Anne Willcox

I recently had Blepharoplasty surgery and had a fabulous result! It was better than I imagined! I interviewed several surgeons in Philadelphia, New York City and the Main Line area before choosing Dr. Stark. I recommend him 100 times over. He and his nurse Racheal made the whole process a breeze. He is a kind, gently, patient and a good listener, truly a gifted surgeon/artist. He took 20 yrs off my eyes! Thank you Dr. Stark, I am so, so very grateful.

LOVE my results!! I saw Dr. Stark for injections in an effort to enhance my lips. I wanted a subtle look that didn’t appear unnatural, and I got just that! He is knowledgeable, professional and talented. My results are amazing and the injections were relatively pain free! I would definitely recommend Dr. Stark to anyone looking for a plastic surgeon!

Dr Stark is a kind, professional Doctor. He’s knowledgeable and knows how to answer questions, even 100 of them, in a way that you feel confident in his ability. I am beyond satisfied with my procedure in reconstruction breast augmentation, followed by Botox. I would and have recommended the team of Rachel and Doctor Stark to my clients, friends and family.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Stark. The entire process, from my initial consultation to my post op appointment, was flawless. Dr. Stark performed a breast augmentation revision, and after only a week and a half I am thrilled with the results. My incisions are hardly noticeable which is unheard of given the short time frame. He possesses incredible surgical skills, superb bedside manner, and a passion for excellence in his patient’s outcome. I’ve had surgeries in the past with other surgeons, and Dr. Stark and his nurse, Rachel, far exceeded my expectations. They were both readily available for any questions, thoroughly explained my options, and ensured the entire process was seamless. Dr. Stark called me the night of the surgery to check in and he or Rachel continued to follow up daily. I feel like they really went above and beyond. Rachel is an absolute gem and I could not be happier I had the pleasure of working with her. I would recommend Dr. Stark to anyone looking for a great surgeon with an awesome staff.

I first approached Dr. Stark with a very open-ended question - "What would you do on my face?" I'm 47 and have had a rhinoplasty and a revision rhinoplasty, but I still wasn't thrilled with my nose. Dr. Stark could have suggested anything at all. He could have pushed for another revision or other expensive procedures. Instead he just said that all he'd do was a non-surgical rhinoplasty with some filler. He did it that day for $400. Looking at before and after photos I was amazed at how much better and straighter my nose appeared. At a follow-up I asked if he'd do anything else, and he added a little filler under my eyes and in my naso-labial folds. As before, it was a very conservative approach, it was done that day, and the results were terrific. I saw an immediate improvement and so did a couple close female friends whom I asked for opinions. That's it. Despite practically having carte blanche, that's all Dr. Stark has suggested. I'm very pleased with the results. Dr. Stark has earned my admiration and trust and I can recommend him without reservation.

Dr. Stark is an excellent surgeon with talented skills and great follow-up. The staff in Ardmore are so kind, caring and understanding. Big thanks to Rachel also.

I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Stark and his team!

Dr. Stark, Rachel & his staff are the best. Very thorough in the handling of my husband's wound. He even came to Saunder's House in Wynnewood to check up on my husband while he was there for rehab. That was on his own time. We couldn't say enough about Dr. Stark and his handling of his patients. Highly recommend him for any procedure.

Dr. Stark and his staff were very professional and wonderful, before, during and after my procedure. His attention to detail and listening to what you want is spot on.

John King

Dr. Stark is the best in the business! I could not be happier with my results! He is extremely easy to talk to and at the same time is very professional. His assistants and staff are just as great! PLEASE LISTEN when I say this is the guy you want to go to for any cosmetics. I would give him and his staff 10 stars if possible!

I had a full Mommy Makeover (tummy tuck, breast augmentation with implants and lipo). From start to finish Dr Stark was unbelievable. My end results far exceeded my expectations. His bedside manner and ability to effectively communicate options to his patients was incredible. Never once did I feel as though I was being rushed or that I wasn’t being heard. He answered every single one of my questions during the entire process and made feel comfortable with what can be very personal decisions. Aside from his personal approach, his techniques are not only meticulous, but are far superior to any other surgeon I had met with previously. He utilizes the most up to date surgical techniques -which not only perfects his results-but also made my recovery so much easier. He didn’t use drains for my abdominalplasty. And yes...this matters. A lot. In addition to his unmatched surgical skill, he is a true artist with injections. I was so hesitant to get anything done to my face and I didn’t want to look overdone. But Dr Stark did such an amazing job. He made me look chronically refreshed. :) I have had many friends undergo mommy makeovers with other plastic surgeons over the years. And while they all look amazing, I can honestly say that Dr. Stark’s results are superior to any other plastic surgeon. I would never go to anyone else again!

We first met Dr. Stark at Bryn Mawr hospital after our 2-year-old daughter had an accident and needed stitches - I can't begin to say how relieved we were to be in such capable hands. Not only did he do an amazing job in fixing her up, he was also so supportive and helpful in what was a very frightening situation for me and my husband. I'm not sure what we would have done without him!

Tanisha Keller

Honestly, the best experience and results that I couldn't have imagined for my breast augmentation. Dr. Stark is a perfectionist, which coupled with his full transparency allowed me to picture the 'after' (still in love shock). His partner in extraordinary aka his nurse, Rachel really walked me through the process from start to finish setting my nerves at ease. Her wonderful smile, optimism, and accessibility made the process seamless and stress free. Seriously, yes I know it may seem like I'm obsessed given my word overkill above and you would be RIGHT!! If I ever decide to go under again, there is only one man for me...Dr. Stark!!

Dr. Ran Stark is truly a wonderful, talented and an awesome plastic surgeon. He performed extensive plastic surgery to repair my right buttock on February 5, 2018. I had an emergent surgical procedure performed at Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia due to a bacterial infection known as necrotizing fasciitis. The surgeon who performed the procedure had to remove approximately one fourth of tissue from my right buttock which left me with a huge open incision that had to be closed. The surgeon enlisted the services of Dr. Stark to perform the closure of the open wound. I nor my husband knew what the wound looked liked prior to Dr. Stark performing the procedure. It was not until the procedure was completed that we saw the before and after. We could not believe that the huge incision was not only closed but was barely visible to the naked eye. As a matter of fact, when I returned to the surgeon for my follow up visit he stated that Dr. Stark performed an amazing job. Dr. Stark’s knowledge, skills, expertise, professionalism and bedside manner is exceptional. His PA, Rachel, is incredible, and the office staff is warm, friendly, caring and compassionate to their patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Stark to anyone seeking plastic surgery treatment.

I have been complaining of excessive sweating under my arms for years and once I heard about the miraDry procedure, I knew I had to give it a shot because nothing else was working. I'll admit I was a little hestitant at first, but Rachel was there from beginning to end. Her warm and friendly personality made me feel completely at ease. She thoroughly explained everything over the phone prior; and again, on the day of the treatment. The honesty from Rachel is what I loved most. I knew exactly what to expect and how I would feel during and after the procedure. There were absolutely no surprises. Even more so, I did not feel like "just another patient", I felt like I was talking to a friend, which made the experience that much better. As for the miraDry, I would recommend it to anyone who sweats even a little more than the average person and I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone and everyone.

My experience with Dr. Stark was excellent from start to finish. Dr. Stark is so personable. I walked in knowing I wanted something done for my aging face but not sure what or how much. He could have tried to sell me on anything but he only offered what he knew would work and didn’t try to get me to go beyond my comfort level. He did Botox and injections- excellent results. Office was very clean and staff very personable

Emily Cooper

The man of great merit!! There are many qualities that contribute in the makeup of a quality physician. Dr. Stark has demonstrated all of these essential characteristics and his work ethic is first-class. His patient care pre and post op went above expectation, even offering to stop by my residence on his own time to check splints. He is kind, professional, honest and most importantly, very well educated in his field and is a deep well of knowledge. What he says and what he does align to perfection. Also- Rachel made the process seamless. She is a peach!

Ashley Taylor

Dr. Stark is one of a kind. There are no words to describe the transformation he did to my entire body. Dr. Stark performed a Brazilian Butt Lift, with grafting fat from my core and injecting into my buttocks for a more fuller look to my previously non-existing one. I have an entirely new body! His bed side manners are above and beyond; he called me every day to check up on me as well as his staff. Dr. Stark is not only extremely down to earth, but he listens to what you want and delivers those exact results. I can't thank him enough for how happy he has made me!

Dr. Ran Stark is truly the most skilled and meticulous plastic surgeon I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting, You will feel very comfortable in his capable hands. He gives you his honest opinion, and walks you through the steps. Even to this day I smile when people ask me what my skincare routine is, not who’s your plastic surgeon. I like to look good without anyone knowing, and he has truly captured that natural look!

After failing to lose weight, I turned to Dr. Stark for help. We decided the best route for me was the Obalon Balloon System. This leading edge procedure, along with Dr. Stark's encouraging and supporting bedside manner gave me my joy back. From the moment the first balloon was placed and again after the second and third, I had no issues, no side effects and no discomfort. Obalon was the catalyst for my weight loss and through hard work, counting calories and exercising , I lost over 30 pounds. Dr. Stark, Rachel and his team gave me the confidence and self-assurance to meet my goal. My blood pressure and my cholesterol level are now normal. I dropped 3 dress sizes. I feel and look fantastic. I highly recommend Dr. Stark, Rachel and Obalon.

Dr. Stark exceeded my expectations! In the beginning of my consult visit, I was a bit vague with what I exactly wanted. I just knew I did not like the proportion of my nose to the rest of my face. Dr.Stark walked me through everything and by the end of the consult, It was clear that he knew exactly what I was looking to achieve and the best way to do that. Fast forward to now and I am 2 weeks post-op. Recovery was a breeze because he was always available to answer anything and to check in on recovery. I could not be more happy with the outcome of my nose already! Such a caring doctor that wants the best for his patients. Could not recommend enough.
