Stacy Wright Sets the Standard: A Steady Hand, Soulful Presence and Transformational Skill.

It's rare to find someone in the medical-aesthetic world who brings equal parts precision, presence and grace -- but Stacy does exactly that.

She has the hands of a technician, the intuition of a healer and the professionalism of someone deeply committed to the people she serves. Every moment with her -- from her calm, steady energy to the meticulous way she prepares, explains and executes -- is a quiet masterclass in care.

There is a stillness to Stacy, but don't mistake it for passivity. She observes deeply. She listens fully. She works with the kind of focused intention that makes you realize: you're not just in good hands -- you're in rare ones.

Her approach is grounded but never rigid. Gentle and always so caring--with a presence that makes you feel genuinely supported. She respects the process, the patient and the unseen emotional layers that often come with both. You'll never feel rushed. You'll feel considered. Cared for. Seen.

Whatever title you give her -- RN, specialist, aesthetic nurse -- Stacy is more than that. She's the kind of person whose presence elevates everything and everyone around her. Spaces feel calmer. People feel steadier. The whole room shifts into ease when she walks in.

And if you're lucky enough to be in her care, you'll understand immediately: she isn't just skilled. She's exceptional.

First Up. Morgan—a true embodiment of grace and strength. Certified Surgical Technician Morgan is a stunning, statuesque presence in the office—calm, professional and quietly powerful. She's all business in the best way: efficient, respectful and deeply focused. Every interaction I had with her made me feel understood, supported and completely cared for. Her quiet confidence was its own kind of comfort and it meant the world to me.

Then there's Krystal, Director of Nursing, my OR angel. Before my surgery, Krystal took care of all my pre-op vitals and preparation with such warmth, kindness and humor. She made what could have been a nerve-wracking moment feel easy and fun. We had an impromptu "boob talk" and Krystal was so open, supportive and human—exactly what you hope for when you're stepping into such a big moment. Her nurturing energy stayed with me long after I left pre-op.

I also want to thank Dr. Patel, my anesthesiologist. She was lovely and made me feel reassured and safe as I prepared to go under. Knowing I was in such capable, compassionate hands gave me an incredible sense of peace going into surgery.

And then, of course, Aubree Farrell—Nurse Angel Extraordinaire!

If I could give Aubree a thousand stars, I would. From the moment I walked into Dr. Stoker’s office, Aubree has been my guiding light — supportive, nurturing, professional and genuinely kind in every way.
She was the first face to welcome me, the calming presence by my side pre-surgery, the gentle voice that reassured me as I woke up from anesthesia and the caring soul who made sure I was safe and hugged goodbye afterward.

Even while managing an intense workload (I woke up to see her writing and working so diligently at her station — truly nonstop!), Aubree never wavered in her warmth, attentiveness, or incredible positive energy. She is a rare gem — the perfect blend of skill, heart and grace.

I am so grateful to have had Aubree as my nurse and I know without a doubt that my healing journey has been made exponentially better because of her. She is pure magic and Dr. Stoker’s office is lucky beyond words to have her.

And finally, introducing the true star of the kingdom—board-certified plastic surgeon and master of transformation, Dr. David Stoker, MD, FACS—though he's so much more than any title could capture.

Dr. Stoker is everything you could hope for in a surgeon — and so much more. From my very first consultation, I felt I was in the hands of not only an expert, but a deeply caring human being who genuinely listens, understands and works with you to create the very best possible outcome.

He has a rare combination of technical brilliance, aesthetic artistry, grounded kindness and a lightness of spirit that immediately puts you at ease.

Throughout my journey, Dr. Stoker has been honest about what's possible, always delivering hope and encouragement alongside his professional insights. He is thoughtful in his approach, confident in his recommendations and consistently radiates a calm, happy energy that makes the entire process feel so much more empowering and positive.

I often think of him as my "happy, handsome doctor"—someone who floats through his days with a natural joy because he knows he's helping people transform their lives. His work doesn't just change appearances—it restores confidence, renews self-esteem and inspires people to go out into the world shining even brighter.

The results already speak for themselves and I feel so grateful and lucky to have found my way to Dr. Stoker and his incredible team. He is a true master of his craft and a gift to any patient lucky enough to be under his care.

I would recommend Dr. Stoker without hesitation to anyone seeking surgical excellence combined with genuine heart. I trust him completely and I’m so excited to continue this healing journey with him guiding the way.

Dr. Stoker and his team are phenomenal. He is caring, compassionate, and truly the greatest surgeon in Los Angeles. All of the providers and staff members do such a wonderful job and that's what makes this office such a great place to visit for all your aesthetic desires. Whoever you see, I can guarantee you will be ecstatic with your results! Do yourself a favor and come experience it for yourself.

Dr Stoker was awesome!! He came very highly recommended by a colleague who had worked with him in the OR. He was very concerned when I had an issue. He even gave me his personal cell number. He was super to work with. I’m saving up for my next procedure!!

If you’re wanting to get your breast implants removed, I strongly recommend Dr. Stoker in Marina Del Rey. I would give Dr. Stoker and his staff ten stars on here if I could. I’m 43 years old, and I originally got my implants from a different surgeon when I was 22, because I was extremely insecure about my body and desperate to feel good enough. That first surgeon was great, and I was very happy with the results. I never had any issues with my implants in the 21 years that I had them. However, throughout the years, as I started accepting myself more and being more loving to myself, I felt the need to remove my implants. Over the years, I would ask my primary care doctors about removing the implants and they would always tell me to leave them in since they looked great and there were no issues. After many consultations with other surgeons and a lot of research, I decided to move forward with the removal of my implants through Dr. Stoker. His entire staff is outstanding. I was initially nervous about the removal process, but Dr. Stoker and his staff helped me feel at ease and answered my many questions along the way. They’re professional, friendly and run a very organized office. Dr. Stoker, Claudia, Kelsey, Aubree, Jordan, and Tiffany, thank you for making this experience a great one. I told Dr. Stoker exactly what I wanted and he far exceeded my expectations. He performed the surgery under local anesthesia, so I was awake the entire time, which was a bit strange, because I could feel him taking out the implants, but I would highly recommend this option as it felt safer to me to not be put completely under full anesthesia. I felt zero pain during the procedure, and during the surgery I was talking to Dr. Stoker the entire time, and I started crying happy tears feeling euphoric and so relieved that I finally did this for myself and that I can have my natural body back. The recovery was very quick and easy, and I was a bit achy for a few days as my body was healing, but no pain - I didn’t even take any Tylenol or pain medication afterwards. And as he promised, I only had an inch of a scar under each breast (which is hardly even visible). My breasts look better than I could’ve imagined and I’ve healed so well that I don’t even need a breast lift, and I wear any top I want to with confidence. Ever since my explant surgery two months ago, which I was fully healed after just a couple weeks, I can’t believe that I can confidently say: I love my body, and I’m so relieved I chose the right surgeon. I’m happy to talk to other patients or people interested in doing this procedure, because I know how scary it seems, but it’s the truly the best decision of my life. Thank you so much Dr. Stoker.

I see both of the aesthetic providers at Dr. Stoker's office. Carla and Stacy are both incredibly knowledgeable and talented. I've been treated with filler, Botox, Melanage peels, micro-needling, and Ultherapy. Every treatment or injectable they've recommended has been spot on. My skin has never looked better.

I cannot recommend Dr. Stoker enough. From start to finish he was meticulous, caring and professional.His entire staff was amazing as well making me feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire process.He did an exceptional job on my face/neck lift and CO 2 laser treatment.I am beyond happy with my results and will never go anywhere else. I even flew from Palm Beach Florida to have him do my surgery.If you are looking for a surgeon that is top notch he is your doctor.

I had the pleasure of working with Carla and Stacy for my recent under-eye filler and Botox treatments. Both of the injectors are incredibly talented and knowledgeable, and their combined expertise made for an exceptional experience. I'm thrilled with the results of my treatments and would highly recommend Carla and Stacy to anyone looking for natural-looking, high-quality aesthetic injections.

I was super worried about having surgery, in general, but when Dr. Stoker says "rapid recovery," he means it! I went from a size A to a C, and they look so natural that even people I have known for years have asked what was different, I feel so much more comfortable in clothes and feel great. I took Tylenol for a few days, but other than that, nothing! The swelling went down after just a few days, and I love the outcome. Dr. Stoker and his team are amazing, super kind, followed up with me the night of my surgery, and were willing to do zoom appointments with me because I am from out of town. The four hour drive and the cost were 100% worth it! If I needed to do surgery again, I would definitely go to him!

I had breast augmentation surgery here a month ago and I am in love with the results. From day 1 the staff has been so friendly and professional. My results look do natural and I can hardly see the scars. My 1 star deduction is for the “rapid recovery” gimmick.

Maybe if you are in your 20s and you do above the muscle the recovery may be easy. But mine was under the muscle and I was incapacitated for several days. It hurt to move. I would have had more help lined up if I had known it was going to be that bad, but I was sold on “rapid recovery” so didn’t plan appropriately. He gave the example of the young model that went to the mall with her mom and visited her grandparents the same evening. The only person I could’ve imagined visiting was a physician or Jesus.

I’m pleased with my decision to go with him because he is truly an artist they just need to be more honest about what to expect.

Dr. Stoker is caring, honest, and brilliantly skilled. He talked me through every aspect of my lipo procedure with realistic expectations and compassion. I am a 45 year old male and had lipo on my flanks, upper & lower abdomen, and a little under the chin. The procedures went perfectly- no complications. Its been over a year and a half and I am am still mesmerized by the brilliant results. Completely natural, and I'm in the best shape of my life. Thank you Dr. Stoker!
