Dear Dr. Stadler, I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent care I received during my recent root canal. I chose your practice based on your positive reviews, experience, and education, and I am very pleased with my decision. As a retired Senior MRI Technologist, I always prioritized managing patient expectations and ensuring comfort to reduce anxiety during procedures. I was impressed to see that you share this same commitment to patient care. The injection was remarkably painless, and the entire procedure was completed in less than 30 minutes. I also want to commend your assistant, Pamela, for being so caring and attentive, as well as the rest of your staff for their friendly and professional demeanor. I will highly recommend Mission Valley Endodontics to anyone in need of an endodontist. Thank you again for the great experience. Best regards, Lee G read more

Some specialists act as if they might be too good to work on your teeth. This was NOT the case with Dr. Michael Lewis and his staff. I was first referred to different Endodontist by my Dentist, but after a less-than-friendly reception there, I found Dr Lewis on Yelp.com and my Dentist assured me that they had also used Mission Valley Endodontics to good result. Dr. Lewis accepted my insurance, explained the whole procedure, and accomplished a remedy for my abscess that was painless and drama-free. The staff here is professional and I would recommend Dr. Lewis without reservation! Additionally, the Office is easy to find just off of I-8 and the parking was adequate & free! (You can tell I am pleased I am pleased.) read more

​"If anyone is nervous about dental work, go see Dr. Sadler! I've had two root canals with him now--one last year and one just this week--and he was fantastic. He is so patient and skilled, which really put my mind at ease. ​A huge shoutout to the front desk team as well; they are so welcoming and kind from the moment you walk in. Truly the best dental experience I've ever had!" Thank you for your nice work Dr. Sadler. read more

Professional, friendly, absolutely clear explanations , excellent quality care from check in to check out! Dr. Stalder is the very best.

Dr. Lewis and this whole practice is absolutely amazing. I needed two root canals re-done and although it took many appointments, I appreciated how calm, and thorough Dr. Lewis was. He saved two of my teeth, and I am so grateful! I always felt heard and understood. Staff is very knowledgeable and empathetic. I never had to sit in the lobby for more than 5 minutes, which is quite refreshing. Everyone in the office is very kind and professional! read more

I was referred to another Endodontist by my Dentist. However, 2 months prior to my call for an appointment, they discontinued accepting my insurance. I then went to my insurance company who provided me with a list of Endodontists. When I read about Mission Valley Endodontics, it was a no brainer. I made my appointment. Today, I had a procedure. Dr Lewis was professional and knowledgeable about his work. He explained everything in detail. He showed and explained before and after X-rays which were helpful and comforting to me. The front desk staff as well as the Dental Assistant were equally professional and friendly. The entire experience was great. Thank you Mission Vally Endodontics. read more

I had a severe abscess and infection that needed attention right away. Mission Valley Endodontics was able to see me and start Treatment immediately the same morning we called.

I met a pleasant staff ahead of having a root canal. Dr. Stalder is the nicest dentist, informative, easy going and gentle. The same care I had years ago. I felt comfortable the whole time. read more

I had a great experience here and would recommend this business for services. The staff was very friendly and very polite. The cleanness of this business goes above and beyond and made me feel very comfortable. The only thing I can add is the employee who was popping and chewing gum very loud the whole time I was there was very unprofessional. read more

I have visited this office for many years. The dentists have always provided excellent care. As an anxious dental patient I have appreciated their kindness at every visit. In addition, they have always taken the time to answer every question with patience and interest. The dental support staff is very professional and caring, and the front desk staff have been great with scheduling and navigating the ins and outs of dental insurance. It's a convenient location, very nice office space, and good parking. read more

I needed a root canal and was referred to this office. Dr. Lewis and Abby were very kind and professional. I was very nervous but did not experience any pain. Would highly recommend this office for dental needs. Thank you. read more

Today I had the most pleasant dental experience at Mission Valley Endodontics. I needed a root canal done and was referred by Dr Rob Frey. I have severe dental phobia and was very nervous upon arrival. The staff was very professional and friendly. The young lady (sorry I forgot her name) who took my x-rays/scan was very pleasant, patient and assured me that I would be taken care of. Dr Lewis came in, introduced himself, explained the procedure, didn't rush and assured me that I was in good hands. I chose to have nitrous oxide because of my phobia. About an hour and half later the procedure was done without me feeling any pain at all. I never would have thought I would be leaving a dental office with a smile on my face. Dr Lewis your pleasant personality, empathy and skill are top notch. Thank you read more

I had an incredible experience with Dr. Stadler today. I have been having random tooth pain for the past month I thought I was losing my mind! My regular dentist did a root canal on the tooth and it was still hurting. I really believed I was going to have to get dental implants and lose my teeth. my dentist referred me to Dr. Stalder to check the root canal and find out what's going on with my teeth. After four dentist appointments and an oral surgeon he finally told me what was going on. He does a 3-D bone scan on your teeth so he can really accurately pinpoint the problem or lack of. he saved me thousands of dollars but more importantly gave me peace of mind and a direction to go to cure my problem. He's definitely not in it for the money he really wants to help people. I'm so grateful for him and his wonderful front desk staff who went out of their way to ask another patient to switch times with me so that I could come in sooner since I was in pain. They truly went above and beyond. If you ever have a root canal issue and want a real honest good doctor I would go to him. Don't let your general dentist ever do a root canal on you! Make sure you need it first read more

My phobia of dentists kept me away until I was in pain and needing a root canal. I was referred to Dr. Lewis who was professional and skilled that I didn't feel a single thing! I also wish to thank Eve for her help in understanding my copay and reassurance when scheduling! Thank you! read more

Dr. Stalder and his staff got me in quickly . The root canal was performed with the same skill and natural talent as my last experience. During the procedure I felt comfortable and confident knowing I was in good hands. Thank you all again. Warm regards read more

Dr. Stalder and his entire staff are awesome. Pleasant, on time and professional. Everyone did their upmost to ensure that I was always comfortable and was not experiencing any pain. The place to go if you need a root canal! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Erik Stalder! The staff is super courteous and Dr. Stalder is very gentle and explains the root canal process as he performs the surgery. read more

I had an old Root Canal that should have been done deeper than it was which caused infection and required redoing to save the tooth. I am a VERY nervous patient in a dentist chair, while work is being done I actually feel like I am going to have a panic or heart attack. Dr. Eric A. Stalder, D.D.S., and his team are amazing! They are welcoming, kind, highly skilled and knowledgeable and understand when a client has trust issues due to past dental experiences. This is the second time I have experienced the skill and services of Dr. Stalder and his team. If I had to have another procedure from an Endodontist I cannot imagine going to anyone other than Dr. Stalder. read more

No one wants to have a root canal, but if there is anywhere you would want to go to have the best experience possible - It is this office. I had one last year and just yesterday had to return for a second tooth. Their amazing and caring service starts before you even walk in the door. They spoke with me, sent me all the forms that were needed and verified my insurance so when I got there - there was nothing left to worry about. Dr. Lewis and his assistant Pam were amazing. I couldn't be more grateful for their sincere care and hard work. They explained everything as the process went on and checked with me several times throughout to make sure I was ok and as comfortable as possible. All of their staff are kind and professional. They have a woman in the front (I think she is the office manager? I wish I got her name) who is a pure gem. She is so efficient and so good at her job. She went over all the paperwork, cost etc. with me. I hope I never have any major dental work again but if I need to - I will definitely be back. The office is located in Mission Valley, very close off the exit and very easy to find. They have their own parking lot which is great too. They still ask that you wear a mask inside, so be prepared. I highly recommend this office!! read more

Amazing service! My dentist discovered an inflamed nerve that I've been having trouble with for a few weeks and referred me to Dr. Erik Stalder. I was able to make an appt with Dianna for the next day for evaluation! Getting appts can be difficult, but the service and quick response time were impeccable. Dr. Stalder is genuinely friendly, caring, articulate, and explained the findings thoroughly. It is an absolute pleasure to find someone with all those personal and professional skills. I was then able to get an appointment for the next day since Dianna had a cancelation. She is on top of the schedule!!! The procedure for a root canal went smoothly and again, Dr. Stalder was amazingly skilled and had me out of the office pain-free in less than an hour and a half. Thank you for the wonderful services! read more

Everyone at this place was very friendly and professional and very clean. They were very advanced with their equipment. I was amazed how Dr. Lewis worked on my tooth through this microscope type machine. I loved how they explained and showed me on an x ray how and what they did on my tooth. I would definitely recommend this place and Dr. Lewis. read more

Dr Stalder and his staff were professional, on time, friendly and took care of my issue in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend him. read more

This was literally the first time I've had an endodontist appointment that I wasn't nervous for. Super easy, INCREDIBLY fast and comfortable. I would and do recommend this endodontist to all my friends and clients. Thank you for making this such an easy experience. read more

I could not have been more pleased Dr. Eric Stalder, his staff and the quality of my treatment. I had a decades old root canal that apparently the original treating dentist left much of the root material behind. That problem turned into a toothache with a deep abscess and severe throbbing pain that over the counter pain relievers were ineffective on. An emergency visit to my long time dentist resulted in a referral to Dr. Stalder. My referring dentist failed to recognize my actual pain levels and I spent a second sleepless night in pain. Dr. Stadler was able to see me the next day, he diagnosed and treated the problem right away. Dr. Stader did understand my pain level and prescribed appropriate meds for pain control. Ahha, blissful sleep, pain free sleep! Dr. Stadler's office is conveniently located in mission valley with ample free parking. I found his office to be very clean with state of the art modern equipment. Thank you very much to you and your excellent helpful polite staff. read more

This is a group of professional highly trained and qualified individuals. Thank you to doctor Stadler, Robin and the rest of the staff for their professional courteous service. read more

I have had work done by Dr. Stalder on several occasions. I have never had any issues in getting an appointment. In most instances it was on very short notice. He does excellent work and he, along with his staff, are a pleasure to work with. read more

I had a root canal procedure yesterday. Needless to say, I was quite anxious about it. Dr. Stalder was so caring & compassionate, my nervousness was for naught! I had nitrous oxide that put me at ease & before I knew it, the procedure was over!!! Dr. Stalder & his nurse, Pam, made me feel very comfortable....it was not nearly as scary as I had anticipated!! Everyone, from front office staff to the nurses to the dr. himself, was very caring & helped put me at ease. Kudos to all at MISSION VALLEY ENDODONTICS!!! read more

This dentist is a "toothsaver". Dr. Stalder and his staff did an incredible job fixing a root canal botched by my former dentist. Because of his expertise I still have a tooth that would have needed to be pulled. They make you feel comfortable and the procedure was painless. If a dentist ever tells you that you need a root canal GO HERE! DO NOT let a regular dentist do it. I will repeat: Never let a regular dentist perform a root canal. MANY THANKS to Dr. Stadler and his staff. read more

This is the second time I had to see Dr Stalder. I know no one is excited to go see any type of dentist but honestly he is the best at making a typical horrible experience into an informed, calm, no pain dental procedure. I know I am in good hands when he is working in my mouth. Also as important as the Doctor his staff and their customer service always make me feel as VIP. Thank you! Ingrid read more

I had an appointment at 1:30pm today and thought it was at 1. So I called to see if I can come in at 1:30pm. And the receptionist Deanna/Diana picked up rude from the second she picked up the phone and said hello. Once I asked if I can come in at 1:30 the attitude continued and she was adamant I had to be there by 1:15pm. The timing didn't both me, it was her tone the whole time. And I mentioned idk why you're talking to me like that when I had the decency to call and ask. Then I said that I wouldn't feel comfortable coming for multiple appointments if I had to schedule with her. And her tone changed and she said sorry. Maybe hire a more welcoming receptionist, cuz that's the first impression patients have I have a tooth that hurts but would rather wait a month to meet with another endodontist than deal with rude customer service. read more

Dr. Stalder is very good at what he does. He is precise and is efficient with his work. I've had other root canals from other doctors which seem to take a long time and was treated like a huge production. But Dr. Stalder was fast with quality work to cut down on the literal pain of the procedure. read more

The entire team, from start to finish, made my root canal procedure a awesome experience. Relaxing, Relatable, Efficient, Knowledgeable, Caring, Teamwork are outstanding. They have mastered what they do - and mastered it well ! Dr. Stalder is a Rock Star. Recommended 100% read more

Dr. Stalder did an amazing job on my root canal restoration. I didn't feel in pain or uncomfortable after procedure. He made sure I was comfortable and understanding of everything he was doing. I usually get a lot of anxiety during any dental procedure but with him it was very smooth and calm. I was in great hands! read more

It was easy to make an appointment, my root canal was actually very gentle. Highly recommend

Was referred here for a root canal by my dentist and they did an amazing job. Had zero pain after leaving and it was extremely quick. I have irregular roots and am used to being in a bunch of pain after going to the dentist, but this experience was completely different! Would recommend to anyone in the San Diego area! read more

Horrible ADA violating, disabled person abusing, experience. My wife has a brain injury. Under stress, she does something called "flooding." With that in mind, we called in advance and confirmed I could be with her in the exam, despite Covid precautions. Under the ADA, reasonable considerations are required to be made and we confirmed with them that they would be. When we got there, they absolutely refused to honor that. Upon telling them we had confirmed that I could be present, their response was that no one would have told her that and they refused to allow anyone in with her. When she did then flood, unattended, she asked for me and was again told I couldn't be present. In the end, a brain injury sufferer, streaming with tears and confused, had to beg to be allowed to leave after their behavior induced flooding. A patient with cognitive difficulties had to work out how to extract herself, in the midst of a flood, in her own, because they weren't interested in honoring their original agreements or listening when she tried to ask for ADA accommodations. Honestly, that's pretty disgusting. Yes, covid is a thing. It doesn't, however, give a license to ignore the ADA or treat the disable poorly. And, worse, if you are going to ignore basic humanity along with the law, don't lie about it on the phone to get patients in before baiting and switching. read more

Doctor Stadler and his staff were totally professional and personable in my root canal procedure appointment. He was accurate in telling me what I could expect during the post operative recovery. I had total confidence in his ability to perform the surgery and experience little or no discomfort. I would HIGHLY recommend his office to others for any dental procedures. read more

After having had a root canal procedure at Dr. Stalder's clinic, I have concluded that root canal treatments have an underserved bad reputation. Mine was completely pain free. You can trust Dr. Stalder, and I recommend him. read more
