Dr. Jessica Stark, MD

I highly recommend Dr. Stark, she gave me my life back. Very easy to talk with and very thorough. Her entire staff was wonderful. Had a 5 level lumbar fusion, with degenerative scoliosis correction performed in June, and best decision I ever made. Very glad I chose her, it's not a decision one makes easily, She built my trust , and set my mind at ease, her confidence and care sealed the deal for me. You won't be disappointed.

Dr Stark performed ACDF surgery on my C5 6 in April 2024. She did a fantastic job. I am post surgery 3 months with no pain and my neck feels great. Prior to surgery I occasionally had to rest my head on a pillow because the weight of my head was too much for my neck. I also had crunching and pain when I moved my neck. With excellent PT following my surgery I have now have good posture. My neck feels fantastic!!! Thank you Dr Stark and NP Gillian.

I have been a patient of Dr Stark and team since 2020 suffering from a severe case of degenerative disc disease/osteoarthritis resulting in bilateral pain in both legs and arms. Initially, Dr. Stark sought to relieve pain in the most conservative fashion, a laminotomy and working with a Pain Management practice. Although this initially was successful in alleviating symptoms, it sadly was short-lived due to my osteoarthritic condition being well advanced for my age group. Unfortunately, more aggressive intervention was required to combat the radicular pain in my arms and legs caused by the stenosis/peripheral nerve pressure. Review of imaging reports by Dr Stark indicated multi-level cervical and lumbar fusion procedures were necessary to relieve the nerve pressure causing this radiculopathy. I will say with great confidence that Dr Stark’s remedy was tremendously successful in creating room for the nerves and relieving all radicular symptoms. She’s a highly skilled practitione.

No patient should feel forgotten when they are hurting! Waited over a year! Certain team members are unwilling or unable to do their job in regards to communicating with other doctors and insurance. Very expensive waste of time.

I am so thankful for Dr Stark and APRN Jillian Wittman. They were able to perform a successful surgery that was somewhat difficult to perform. They make an amazing team. I would recommend them for all of your spinal needs. Dr Stark made the smallest incision I have ever had. This was my 11th back surgery and recovery is going well. I can’t thank these two ladies enough for their efforts to make my life better.

Dr Stark, performed a spinal decompression and everything went very smoothly and she was a very good surgeon .

I visited Dr. Stark to get a second opinion on severe static pain in my left leg and foot due to a very large L4L5 herniated disc. Right from the start, Dr. Stark was extremely caring and empathetic of my situation. She did an amazing job of talking through my situation in terms that I could easily understand, including my treatment options. In my case, the only real option was surgery due to the size of the herniation and the fact that it was significantly impinging on my sciatic nerve. Dr. Stark was able to get me into surgery the next day for a microdisectomy. My experience on the day of surgery was flawless and I woke up in the recovery room lying flat on my back pain free. I hadn’t been able to do that in over a month. I was back home that same evening walking around better than I had been for months! Dr. Stark specializes in minimally invasive surgery, so my recovery was quick….and about 4 months later I was fully back to normal. I highly recommend Dr. Stark, she’s amazing!

Quick to follow up with imaging results and to get scheduled for surgery. She explains everything and takes her time. She is the best.

Has surgery with Dr. Stark for my neck pain. She was so caring and compassionate and did an excellent job. The entire team at Memorial Hermann were outstanding.

Dr. Jessica Stark is absolutely an amazing doctor! Dr. Stark has done spine surgery not only on myself, but 2 of my children as well! I highly recommend her for you and your family! She has such a strong passion for what she does and it shows in her patient care and skills. I would give her 100 stars if I could!

From my first visit I knew I was in good hands with Dr. Stark. She took the time to explain my condition and options for treatment. This quality of service and compassion never changed, even after my surgery. She and her staff were very quick to answer any question or concerns I had post surgery via phone or the portal. If you are looking for a surgeon that has you quality of life as their top priority, Dr. Stark is the first person I would recommend to anyone. I can’t thank her enough for the improvements I’ve experienced already.

Excellent Personality and Very professional. Great attitude to communicate with the Patients and concerns.

Dr. Stark is incredible. Her bedside manner is reassuring and calming as she works miracles . She gave me hope and a pain free life and I cannot express enough gratitude for her skills and knowledge to help me through the roughest time in my life. Highly highly recommend!!

Dr. Stark ordered thousands of dollars worth of MRIs and labs (STAT) and never followed up with me, even after I received the MRI results showing very serious health conditions! I messaged and called her office with NO RESPONSE! Callous and unprofessional do not even begin to describe her behavior.

Jessica is phenomenal! She’s very meticulous, thorough and super kind. She’s very delicate, pays attention to detail and I could not be happier with my surgery. I look forward to seeing her at my follow up appointments!

Everyone was very attentive and amazing. Thanks to Dr. Stark I was able to fully recover from my spine injury. My staples were very VERY neat and perfectly placed. Removing them was just as clean.

Phenomenal doctor with an outstanding team! My brother is her patient. I am impressed by her bedside manners, excellent patient care, and prompt attention. Her team keeps family updated throughout surgery! Highly recommend!

Dr Stark operated on both my husband and myself. We both couldn’t say enough about how great our experience n the outcome was.

Dr. Jessica Stark's attention to my surgery needs on my neck and spine went above and beyond any other Dr. that I have been to in my life. Her Confidence and Knowledge in her field are second to None. I truly don't have the correct words to show my gratitude to Dr. Stark as she was so helpful in comforting my wife during this difficult time for us. Her entire staff all the way through to the recovery staff after my surgery were so caring and informative of all of my needs. You will be in the BEST of hands if you are considering Dr. Stark, she has changed the Quality of my life with the Success of my Surgery !

Dr. Stark's office was great. We had minimal waiting times on all occasions. She was interactive and "hands on" with the patient. Made everything understandable and made sure we were comfortable with everything that was discussed.
