Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Our whole family loves Dr Stern!
Dr Stern was our family doctor for years when we lived in Farmington, MI. He came as a recommendation from several family and friends and we couldn't have been happier! We enjoyed having Dr Stern as our family physician. He took the time to talk with us, was kind with great bedside manner, and didn't throw pills at us. He had a more holistic approach. Everyone in the family (husband, wife, son, and daughter) loved him and wish we could have taken him with us when we moved to Texas!

I have been seeing Dr. Stern for a number of years! I have never had a problem with him, the staff or treatment issues! I had a friend come with me the last visit and she was very impressed with the whole set up!

This review is less about dr stern n more about his office staff. Very unhelpful and unprofessional. Took my name and number to call back for appointment n never did. Then remained unapologetic when I called back. Only appeared interested in insurance type/info and if I had auto claim etc. tried explaining that it was non of that n that I have been reassigned a PCP due to insurance change to no avail. Staff needs urgent training in patient assistance

I have recommended Dr. Stern to my family & friends. I have been a patient for more than 15 years. Dr. Stern is a qualified, friendly and compassionate physician. He goes above and beyond to help you with your medical care. Dr. Stern and his staff have always treated me and my family with respect. I will continue to use Farmington Family Physicians / Envision.

I was never able to see Dr. Stern because of the office staff. They refused to call my insurance company and to obtain my info ( I lost my insurance card) They told me not to come in if I didn't have my insurance info. Horrible office staff.
