I just love this doctor!!! 12 years ago, my fingers started locking in a closed position. I had several surgeries to "unlock" them. In addition, if I sat down for more then a few moments, my joints would stiffen and make it almost unbearable to move. Doctors treated my symptoms, but no one gave me a diagnosis until I saw Dr. Stern. He really listened to me, ran the labs based on my symptoms and diagnosed me with Rheumatoid Arthritis. With a good treatment plan from Dr. Stern, I feel great!
