Dr went over by my husband's bed in recovery and the Dr. said he did biopsies and then proceeds to loudly proclaim he thought he has cancer....Wow people turned around and looked in our direction. He needed a follow-up endoscopy after chemo treatment to check on some dysplasia and swallowing issues. ( had a C.T. scan a week or so prior, and findings were the tumor was gone) While I was sitting in the waiting room I spotted the Dr. in the receptionist area,and I asked him how it went and he said he took biopsies and I just mentioned about the scan results and he coldly told me " well the cancer is back " with a little smirk of a smile on his face. What a " CLOD", this guy has become. He didn't even bother to go see my husband in recovery. We are talking about peoples lives here not going over a grocery list. This guy needs to hang up his" shingle "if that is how he treats patients , not to mention him shouting possible findings across the recovery room. I can't emphasize how much this upsets me to have such a callus response to a person's medical issues. Never Again, that's for sure. The nurses at El Mirador are outstanding and have such praise for them. This in no way reflects how they do their job, which is wonderfully. The Dr. ....Not-So-Much.

The nurses at the El Mirador Surgery Center are the only reasons I gave this place a two star…read morerating and not a one star. I did everything they asked me to. I was having a totla anxiety attack and I asked if they could give me a Xanax or Valium or something and they said no, we don't do that here. You'll just have to "deal with it". So I waited for an hour because they took my phone and personal belongings away and all I could do was look around at all the other "cattle" in our respective pens. Meanwhile, I saw another patient across from me during prep meet her anesthesiologist and have a 5 minute chat where he answered all her question and review her chart. Then they wheeled her away. When it was my turn, they was no chat, just wheeled into an exam room, two older guys and a nurse. No one introduced themselves or said hi so I felt like pig about to be butchered. They asked me my name and date of birth and why I was there. Instead of saying Colonoscopy, I said, "To get a camera shoved up my ass." No one even laughed as I was trying to keep the mood light. They gave me some versed and something else presumably to knock me out, and the ONLY thing I asked was that I didn't want to rem,ember anything that happened during the procedure and they assured me I wouldn't. Well, guess what. I woke up in the middle and felt the worst craps ever while they were maneuvering something around and I groaned, "Owww! That hurts! Please stop!:" They must have eventually given me more drugs because I woke up and my husband was there, but what a horrible ordeal. The pain was awful. Like the worst gas cramps you've ever felt. And I didn't get THE ONE THING i asked for -- not to remember anything during the procedure. Between the impersonal treatment telling me to "just deal with it", waiting almost an hour in a bed while everyone else went ahead of me when I told them how anxious I was, and the incompetent ability to keep me sedated during my procedure (20 minutes long, I might add), this was the suckiest thing ever, and I suggest you interview your doctor before you let just anyone shove a camera up YOUR ass if you have to have this hellish procedure done to you after you turn 50. And find a place that gives you a Valium first. That seems at least a little humane.

If I could give this doctor a -10, I would. This is by far one of the most unprofessional and…read moredisorganized medical offices I've ever dealt with. As a new patient, I waited six months just to get an appointment--which should have been my first warning. The La Quinta office told me I had to complete intake forms before they could schedule me. I did everything they asked, and they said they would call me back. They never did. No follow-up, no accountability. I then tried the Palm Desert office. Things seemed fine at first, but that quickly changed. They canceled my appointment with the doctor and pushed me to see a PA instead. I reluctantly agreed. On the day of the appointment, I had to call them myself because I never received any confirmation--no email, no text, nothing. When I called, the receptionist asked if I could come in earlier at 2:45. I told her I couldn't and specifically asked if 3:30 would still work or if I needed to reschedule. She clearly confirmed that 3:30 was fine. I showed up early at 3:15, only to be told the PA had already left. Instead of taking responsibility, they falsely claimed they had called me and that I said I would arrive at 3:00--which is completely untrue. At that point, it was clear they were more interested in covering their mistake than helping a patient. To make matters worse, I tried to resolve this with the office manager. She put me on hold for over 30 minutes because she was "on the phone with the pharmacy." Since when is the office manager handling pharmacy calls? I thought that was the responsibility of the nursing staff. It felt like yet another excuse and a complete waste of my time. This office is not just disorganized--it's dishonest. They waste your time, fail to communicate, and then blame you for their own failures. If this is how the practice is run, it reflects very poorly on the doctor. Patients deserve far better than this level of incompetence, lack of accountability, and disregard for their time.

August 7, 2025…read more Update. I am writing this letter to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care I continue to consistently receive from Dr. Stanley and his outstanding team--especially Paul (NP) and the front desk medical assistants. Whenever I have an appointment with Paul, despite his demanding schedule, he always takes the time to truly listen to my concerns, answer all of my questions, and clearly explain the next steps for monitoring my health. His attentiveness and professionalism make me feel heard, respected, and an active participant in the quality of care I'm receiving. I also want to commend the front desk staff for making appointment scheduling smooth and accommodating. On several occasions, they've helped me secure earlier appointments when needed. Their prompt attention, courteous manner, and strong commitment to patient care are genuinely valued--and, most importantly, reliably consistent. Additionally, I've experienced excellent follow-up after appointments--whether regarding test results, treatment plans, or referrals to specialists. Communication has always been clear, timely, and supportive, which is essential for making informed decisions about my health. When I've been referred to outside specialists for procedures, the team has been consistently aware of the outcomes and continues to monitor my overall care. I genuinely feel that my medical care is being watched closely, and I'm thankful for that level of attention. Another aspect I truly appreciate is how easy it is to renew my prescriptions--whether locally at my pharmacy or through online systems. The process is efficient, reliable, and always handled with care, which brings me great peace of mind. Thanks to these effective communication channels and a coordinated team approach, I've never felt uncertain or frustrated. The staff consistently goes above and beyond to ensure I feel cared for and informed at every step. Dr. Stanley and Paul, thank you for your continued dedication, warmth, and high standard of care. I'm grateful to be in such capable hands and proud to be your patient. With Appreciation, David Maas

Dr. Stanley will be greatly missed! I find that dessert area to have literally the worst cardiologists, electrophysiologists, neurologists, pain doctors, orthopedic specialists, therapists, allergy doctors, pediatrists, and hospitals that I've ever seen in my life, but not doctor Stanley. Doctor Stanley is an Angel in a desert of trash. I don't know what I would have done without him. He's a compassionate, caring, sincere, humble, knowledgeable man. He's like having a primary doctor and therapist all in one. He listens and knows his stuff, and zero attitude. If you are lucky enough to have him as your doctor, go for it! You won't be disappointed. I highly recommend Doctor Stanley!
