I am a new patient of Dr. Stofko. He gave me the information on what I needed to do for my health now, he was up on my past surgeries, dates, past doctors and all. I am very happy he is my doctor.

He cannot fix my problem but he is guiding us to someone who can and his PA told us they would help us with our problem. He diagnosed me immediately when no one else wanted to take my problem on. I just hope it works
