Meet Doctor Stark
“Although I was born in New York, I grew up in Florida. I graduated from Florida State University and received my medical degree from the University of Florida College of Medicine where I finished my internship in OB/GYN. I took a year off to work in a rural emergency room and completed my OB/GYN Residency at the University of Illinois in Chicago.
I was a general OB/BGYN in Los Gatos, CA before completing at fellowship in Maternal Fetal Medicine at the University of Colorado. I spent the bulk of my Maternal Fetal Medicine Practice (25 years) with the Colorado Permanente Group in Denver before retiring from full-time practice in June of 2016.
Since that time I have been practicing as a locums physician. In addition to working with Dr. Steele, I have also worked in Green Bay. I have four grown children; two sons and two daughters (who are both labor and delivery nurses). My hobbies include playing piano and watching the Colorado Avalanche hockey games.”
