About Harlan Stern, M.D.
Harlan Stern, M.D., specializes in interventional pain management at Utica Park Clinic on the campus of Hillcrest Hospital South.
Dr. Stern enjoys building relationships with patients by speaking in simple, plain and relatable terms. He tries his best to make it understandable for all and avoid “doctor-speak,” he said.
He likes to remind patients that pain can take years to become chronic and sometimes it can take a while to get relief, so having patience is important in your healing journey.
Dr. Stern’s decision to pursue a career in medicine was inspired by his parents and family. When he isn’t working, he enjoys spending time with them and relaxing with something good to read.

1. Dr. Stern walked in and told me who he was and went straight to the computer. Never offered a hand.2. Right away he told me that shots in my neck was best for me.3. He started telling about previous test I had In March of 2025 which I didn’t have.4. He wasn’t aware that I had neck surgery In May of 2025.5. I told him that I didn’t trust him because It sounded like he was looking at somebody chart.6. He was not friendly at all when he came into the room. It was as though he wanted to hurry up and get me out.7. Not impressed at all. I felt very uncomfortable with him because he appeared to not even be half way aware of my situation.
