About Dr. Stern

Dr. Robert Stern is a board-certified internal medicine physician with more than 30 years of experience and a focus on addiction medicine.

His expertise centers on evidence-based treatment for opioid use disorder, including Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), and on expanding access to that care through telemedicine.
