Edward A. Stadler, MD 26800 Crown Valley Parkway, Mission Viejo, CA 92691

"We were a military family so we only got to live there 3 years, but Dr Stadler and his nurse Maria have a very special place in my heart. He helped me through infertility and then we had twins. He went so far above and beyond and I had a natural delivery, even though baby B was breeched. Not many doctors have the skills he has, and he is so kind and caring as well! I never thought an OBGYN would be in the things I miss most from a place, but he is the BEST!"

"I Have been thinking about how to write this review for a while. As we approach the new year and I find myself in better health I feel ready to finally write this review. If you find yourself here looking for a new doctor or surgeon please read this. Do not go to this doctor. Six months ago I found myself looking for a new OB. I am 41 and have been battling endometriosis for the last 12 years. I found myself in a place where I felt I needed to get a hysterectomy. I did some research and had a friend recommended Dr. Staddler. I met him and liked him. He felt genuine and kind and I trusted him. I had a hysterectomy the 28th if May. He did the surgery at the surgery center rather than the hospital even tho on my paper work it said I might need a more extensive surgery. I told him repeatedly about how severe my endo was and how it’s always worse when doctors get in. Well...it was worse. He got in there and all my organs were swollen and stuck together. Rather than stop the surgery and realize this over his head, which he acknowledged later, or open me up or call in a general surgeon to assist he continued with a 5 hour surgery. I woke up very sick. He told me I would have to stay over night. Around 530 they had to call an ambulance to take me to the hospital to have a blood transfusion. The next day I still felt awful. He sent me home. The next day I had bloody diarrhea. I called...they said it could be normal to wait it out. I continued to have bloody diarrhea for a few days and had intense pain. I called everyday to complain. I asked if I should be worried. I kept getting the same response that no I had just had a difficult surgery this was to be expected. I started having chronic diarrhea the second week in. I called him again and was told he wasn’t worried. Then almost 2 weeks post surgery I started having poop come out of my vagina. I called him and went to his office to get checked out. He said he was “slimied” said I had “somehow” gotten fistulas. I asked if I was in danger of being septic...should I be worried and go to the ER. This was a Thursday. He said no I already would have developed symptoms...I would t have been able to tolerate an exam. He wrote me a prescription for pain meds bc I was complaining of severe pain in my lower abdomen. He assured me nothing was there so no reason to be worried. Turned out when we went to fill the prescription he wrote it out wrong so back to his office I went on Friday to find out he had the day off. I had nurses in his office and if I was ok because of the color of my skin and the weight I had lost in such a short time. I still trusted him and didn’t not go to the ER. He called me over the weekend and assured me again to wait until I saw the general surgeon the following Monday. He did no blood work, didn’t take my temperature, nothing. I still believe he didn’t want to deal with me on a. Thursday late afternoon when he had the following Friday off. By Monday I could barely walk and went to the general surgeon who ordered an emergency CT scan. I will never forget waiting at the hospital while the radiologist read my test. He said I couldn’t go anywhere and to wait for my doctor. She came in and told me I had an abscess in my lower abdomen and 2 fistulas in my vagina and bowel. She said I would have to have emergency surgery and have a temporary ostomy bag so I could heal. I was also septic and could have dropped dead. She said that bloody diarrhea is a sure sign of this kind of complication and that the fistulas were directly caused by Dr. Staddler. I had to have this bag for 6 months and it was life changing and devastating. I lost the chance to finish breast feeding my baby, I missed the last day of pre school for my oldest daughter. I had to go on anti depressants and Xanax to deal with anxiety I was experiencing. De. Staddler did feel bad, he did try coming to see me but the bottom line is he was in over his head and had to big of an ego to call someone in to assist. He was complacent in my after care. Don’t go to a complacent doctor."

"Dr. Stadler saved my little girls life and restored my health back to order after really bad morning sickness. He was my OB with both my babies and I can’t imagine a better doctor. He is the best of the best"

"Dr. Stadler took care of my better half with utmost professionalism. If you need an OB/GYN who will go beyond the norm and make you feel comfortable then Dr Stadler is your man. Offices are very clean, perfect. Parking is easy and right by the office."
