Margaret A. Stark, PA-C
Certified Physician Assistant
I strive daily to parallel the quality and standards of care exemplified by Dr. Stockton. We work together to provide "honest answers, advanced solutions" for our patients.
Margaret (Maggie) Stark earned her Bachelors of Science degree from Boston College in 1998. She followed this with a Masters of Medical Science in Physician Assistant studies from Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona. Maggie was certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) in 2001, and thus became licensed to practice medicine in the state of Arizona under the supervision of a physician. She has been practicing as a Certified Physician Assistant (PA-C) specializing in dermatology under the tutelage of Dr. Toni Stockton M.D. since 2001.
Maggie’s Physician Assistant related memberships include memberships in the Phoenix Dermatologic Society, Arizona State Association of Physician Assistants (ASAPA) and the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA). In addition to her continuing medical education required by the NCCPA to maintain her medical license, Maggie attends medical conferences and lectures, and has monthly didactic sections with Dr. Stockton to enhance her specialty training. She has also received training in medical, surgical, and cosmetic aspects of dermatology. This includes but is not limited to: the treatment of acne and sun damage with BLU-U® light with Levulan®, chemical peels, skin growth exams, and photo-therapy.
Practicing as a Physician Assistant in dermatology is enjoyable to Maggie because it allows her to evaluate, diagnose, and treat medical dermatology conditions, and perform minor surgical and cosmetic procedures. But most of all she enjoys the opportunity to treat, interact, and educate her patients on a daily basis.

Reena D. Jain
Certified Physician Assistant
Reena Jain, PA-C, joined Stockton Dermatology after moving to the Valley of the Sun in 2002. It was here Reena was able to pursue her true passion in medicine-dermatology. “Practicing all aspects of dermatology is both challenging and fulfilling. Living in Arizona has provided me a unique opportunity to educate patients on the importance of preventative care and how it leads to healthy, aging skin.”
Reena has extensive clinical experience in general, surgical and cosmetic dermatology. Keeping up with the latest advances in the field, she has trained in BLU-U® acne light therapy, intense pulse light, laser technology, chemical peels and photo therapy.
She graduated first in her class from Howard University’s Physician Assistant Program in 2001 and has since been practicing as a certified physician assistant. Reena began her career practicing orthopedic medicine in Dallas TX., where she assisted during surgery, performed casting, and was the primary provider taking first call. She is a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants and the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants.

Christina J. Watson
Practice Administrator
My mother, who taught at Lamson Business College, inspired my interest in medicine. Now, medicine has been my career for more than 20 years. I attended Mesa Community College and Arizona State University.
My first hands-on in the medical field was an emergency room in Apache Junction, where I received my first CPR training and learned to take vitals. Later I worked in the outpatient registration, outpatient surgery and in the emergency room at Desert Samaritan Hospital. I moved to the pediatric, internal medicine and family practice departments of Casa Blanca Clinic, and soon was promoted to front office supervisor. My experience also includes work managing the offices of an OB/GYN and a cardiac-thoracic surgeon.
I've managed Dr. Stockton's office since the day it opened in November of 2000, and if I can help it, I'll be her only practice manager! I really enjoy dermatology.
