He was very professional and thorough. My wait time was a little too long, but once I saw Dr. Stark it was a good experience.
Dr explained that delayed in being seen was due to unusual number of new patients being processed. The front desk stated my appt was for 2:10 pm vice 1:50 pm requested and shown by ZocDoc.All in All not the best experiencebut will go again simply because I have been going for more than 10 yrs.

Verified patient
Dr. Stark was friendly and explained everything about my eye exam to me.
He is very nice but is not as knowledgable as I needed him to be.
Competent, to the point, does not talk down to you.

Very knowledgeable and very helpful
Verified patient
Doctor Stark was nice but, after waiting an hour until I was able to see him, he moved through the session way too fast and I did not feel that I had an opportunity to discuss the situation and ask questions. He seemed like he was trying to just get through the appointment to move on to other things. He requested some tests, and I received a sheet that listed the tests but received no direction, details, or even suggestions of what I need to do (fasting, where to get these tests done, etc) I will also complain that I originally booked an appointment with Dr. DeStefano via ZocDoc but when the office called to reschedule they booked me with Dr. Stark without telling me the doctor had been changed. I am not sure I would recommend Dr. Stark or Chester County Eye Care to anyone. Although everyone was pleasant and courteous, no one that I encountered that worked there seemed very happy or very friendly.
he was thorough. good examination.
