Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.
Please contact your provider to confirm if your insurance is accepted.

Patients appreciate
Dr. Charles Stern receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, with the vast majority giving him perfect 5-star ratings. Patients consistently praise his caring and compassionate nature, describing him as attentive, kind, and professional. Many reviewers emphasize that he takes time to listen to their concerns and answers all their questions thoroughly. His bedside manner is frequently highlighted as exceptional, with patients noting he treats them as people rather than numbers. Long-term patients are particularly vocal about their appreciation, with many having been under his care for 25-30 years or more. Patients describe him as knowledgeable, thorough, and someone who stays current with medical advances. His professionalism, sense of humor, and ability to provide reassurance during difficult times are also commonly mentioned strengths.
Patients also share
The reviews contain virtually no substantive criticism or areas for improvement. One review mistakenly refers to Dr. Stern using a female pronoun, but this appears to be a simple error rather than a genuine concern. No patients expressed dissatisfaction with wait times, staff interactions, communication, or quality of care. The only recurring theme that could be considered negative is patients' sadness about his upcoming retirement, though this reflects their high regard for him rather than any shortcoming in his service.
