Dr. Amy Stark - Santa Ana, California

Chris Black

Dr. Amy Stark is a DISGRACE to her profession, the 'justice' system, and to women. She uses heartfelt signs on her office walls, her published children’s books, her dogs, and her position as a 730 evaluator to disguise herself as a compassionate advocate for children, but Amy Stark is ONLY interested in one thing, money.

My 1st attorney, (Cara Hagan a fraud like Dr. Stark, and whom I later fired), told me that Dr. Stark was a mother’s rights advocate, and advised me to pick her as my 730 evaluator when I was trying to protect my daughter, (only 5 yo at the time), from my abusive, alcoholic, narcissist ex-husband, whose false accusations of me being a drug addict, (in attempt to win custody of MY daughter, not his daughter), forced us both into a 730 evaluation.
Since his accusations caused the evaluation, he was forced to pay for Dr. Starks “services”. Despite my embarrassing, and brutal honesty with Dr. Stark about the past and ongoing abuse, harassment, stalking, trauma, and PTSD that my ex was causing to both my daughter and I, and my overwhelming fear for my daughters safety and welfare, Dr. Stark STILL sided with my ex-husband, because he was paying her fees.
On my last meeting with Dr. Stark, and the only time she would see my ex-husband and I together, she also accused me of being a drug addict in front of my ex. Even though I had already passed her random drug tests, and she had already confirmed my prescribed ADD meds with my personal doctor.
As a result of Dr. Starks decision, my 5 yo daughter was forced to leave the only home she knew of with me, to spend half of every single week with my ex-husband who neglected her, endangered her life repeatedly, yelled, threatened, abused, and harassed her week after week for 8 years.
When she turned 13, she finally put her foot down, told me that she never wanted to see him again, and refused to go back to his custody, regardless of what the courts said. Since the justice system failed us both, I did everything I could to help and protect her from having to go back. Even though my ex continued to harass, and threaten us for several months, and even called the cops on my daughter on X-mas, we kept ignoring his calls, texts and emails until he finally gave up. That was almost 3 years ago, and my daughter has been living with me, and only me ever since.
Once she stopped visiting my ex, her grades went up, she started participating in class, and became more social. She is determined to continue her healing process thru ongoing therapy, but Dr. Starks greed, indifference, and lack of compassion costed my daughter and I 8 years of immense suffering, abuse and a lifetime of unnecessary trauma.
If you are forced into a 730 evaluation, I BEG YOU, FIND A DIFFERENT DOCTOR, PLEASE! Dr. Amy Stark WILL NOT PROTECT YOU OR YOUR CHILD.
She is not an advocate for children, or mothers. She’s not even a mother herself. She is however, horribly unprofessional, heartless, and does not care about the MANY lives she ruins. Choosing the wrong person, like Dr. Stark during such a difficult time is a huge decision that can cause irreversible damage to you and your kids. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO TAKE THAT RISK?

IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME, just read the other reviews about Dr. Stark on Google, Yelp, etc., and if you have any questions about my experience, please DM me on Yelp. Good luck.

Honest, straight forward. Helped me see things how they actually were not how i wished they were. Showed me the honest truth, that if I didn’t change my life I would be risking the lives of my children.
Because of her advice, totally changed my life . Possibly saving my life. Went after my dreams! Sometimes you need someone to be the honest voice of reason. Forever grateful for her helping me see a new perspective.

As a parent, if someone whom has never been married and doesn't have children, told you how to raise your children, you'd laugh at them. Because that kind of person has no basis to offer any kind of advice to families. But yet, here we are. God did not want her to have children, so follow his lead and keep yours far away from her too.

Constantly told me to get over the fact that my father had physically & emotionally abused me & my mom throughout my life because he was a different person then & now( 6 years later he’s still the same as he was when I visited her & when her abuse me) she didn’t understand that I had a hard time vocalizing myself as an autistic child. Her dogs were more helpful than she was.

Time has past and my kids have grown up but I Need to tell you that you hurt my kids for a paycheck. You broke the relastionship beteewn my son and his sister. You taught my son to lie. You lied to the corts when you said the visits would stay in your office. And most of all waiting until the last day to tell my son he would not be seeing his dad no more. You did not prepare him for that or help him through it. But i was not paying your bill the child molesyer was. But thank you for letting me telease this pain that was caused
