About Cory:

Cory grew up in Utah and feels like nothing beats the mountains, people, and endless outdoor activities in the state.

Cory’s interest in dentistry began in childhood, inspired by his own orthodontist, who happened to live on his street and served as both a Sunday School teacher and a role model. That early encouragement helped shape his career.

Having six children and fourteen grandchildren, Cory understands the joys and challenges of parenting and brings that same care to every child he meets. His favorite part of being a pediatric dentist is the children. Their curiosity, energy, and fascination with the world keep every day interesting. Cory’s patience and genuine concern for children are of utmost importance to him, especially if his young patients are undergoing a treatment or procedure for the first time.

Outside of the office, Dr. Stark enjoys gardening, boating, traveling, church activities, and most of all, spending time with his grandkids. He has a hidden talent for riding a unicycle and claims his homemade salsa is the best around (though he’s quick to admit that cooking, cleaning, and organizing are not his strong suits).

For Cory, dentistry is more than just helping kids have healthy smiles; it’s about building relationships, encouraging curiosity, and supporting families as they navigate the adventures of childhood together.

Parent Feedback

"Dr. Robert Hoki, is amazing! He has been my children doctor for the past 7 years now. He takes the time to listen to all my concerns, explains diagnosis in detail if any, and always answers all my questions. I never felt rushed, and their exceptional bedside manner made me and my kids feel completely comfortable and at ease. The clinic staff is also incredibly. I will never go elsewhere.
