The ONLY people I let handle my orthopedic problems. Dr. Stark is THE MAN! The entire team is kind, helpful, informative, and never makes you feel rushed. They want to make sure that you understand what is going on with you, and understand what course of action is best.

Dr. Stark was very thorough in his evaluation of my orthopedic problem. He listened to my concerns and explained the treatment plan and options. He is very experienced in the treatment of orthopedic issues, with and without surgery. I highly recommend him!

Highly suggest BJI! Dr. Stark was amazing! This was my 2nd knee surgery with him. I love how he explains everything he’s planning to do. I don’t feel rushed when asking questions like I have at other orthopedic offices. His PA is simply the best as well. If you’re on the fence, take the jump and schedule. I recommend this place to everyone looking for help with pain.

Went to see them after getting told from [a competitor] that I should avoid hills and stairs (I’m 42) for the rest of my life, and that there wasn’t much besides cortisone shots and a def knee replacement surgery in ten years that they could do. THANK GOD for Dr. Stark. I’m getting a gel injection and can resume actual activity again without surgery. So totally worth the extra drive. He was so knowledgeable and explained things in a way I could understand. I’ve already told a friend and she’s making an appointment with them this week. Thank you again.
