New York Times Places Dr. Stoker Among The Best
Dr. Stoker of Marina Plastic Surgery named one of the top plastic surgeons for liposuction by The New York Times
On October 16, 2005, The New York Times Style Magazine released their annual glossary of beauty experts listing Dr. David Stoker of Marina Plastic Surgery as one of the top plastic surgeons in the United States for liposuction.
The authors of the New York Times Style Magazine compiled the names of plastic surgeons for their glossary by extensively researching the physician's credentials and records with state medical boards, confirming board certification in plastic surgery, and polling experts in the field. As the New York Times is the world's most respected and authoritative newspapers, and since other specialists in the field of plastic surgery endorsed and confirmed Dr. Stoker's expertise, being listed in this glossary is truly an honor.
Among many good surgeons, Dr. Stoker stood out as one of the three best plastic surgeons for liposuction. The article particularly mentions Dr. Stoker's popular combination procedures called "Mommy Makeovers" that include breast lifting, a tummy tuck and power-assisted liposuction. Dr. Stoker pioneered research with power-assisted liposuction, the safest and most effective lipoplasty method available, contributing to major advances in the field of body contouring.
Marina Plastic Surgery Associates is the only plastic surgery practice in Southern California included in the The New York Times nationwide glossary of beauty experts.
