David B Stanton, MD

I visited the Irvine office and saw a physician asst, Teri Rembuskos. Teri was an excellent caregiver and told me to call anytime for questions. The staff however is not able to support this helpful approach. It has been 5 days and 3 faxes and 4 phone calls trying to get someone on the staff to solve a prescription issue identified in my visit. No one returns promised call backs and the staff treats each contact as a stranger has called for the first time. It is unacceptable and tragic for this type of disconnect to exist between dr. care and staff performance.

Dr. Stanton has a calm and friendly demeanor who seems to genuinely care about his patients. While no one looks forward to having a colonoscopy, his professional staff of nurses helped to calm my fears and made the procedure as stress-​free as possible. The LVN who checked me in — I believe her name was Allie — was outstanding!
The young lady at the check-​in desk and the timeliness of the response to follow up questions, however, leave much to be desired. When I called Dr. Stanton’s office last Thursday (January 14) for an explanation of why I need a repeat colonoscopy in just two years, despite having only one benign polyp, I was assured that someone would call back on Monday, ¹⁄₁₈. It is now late on Tuesday, and no one has called. At 4:00 pm yesterday (¹⁄₁₈), my wife, a retired nurse, again called the office for an explanation. After being put on hold for a lengthy time, the front desk lady finally came on the line and treated my wife in a blatantly rude, abrasive and highly disrespectful manner. She kept interrupting my wife and treated her in a most condescending way. This young woman needs either a serious reprimand, and an attitude adjustment, or a new job. I assume this is not the way she was trained to treat Dr. Stanton’s patients. Despite an otherwise positive experience, I may be forced to look for another doctor when the time comes for my next colonoscopy.

I just love Dr. Stanton! Not only is he highly knowledgeable he is also so friendly and kind… he really listens to you and he has always helped me with my stomach issues! I highly recommend him… plus his drugs to put you to sleep for procedures are the BOMB!!! LOL

Dr Stanton has recently help solve one of my major health problems! The staff runs very efficient. I had to have another procedure done by another doctor and the girls in the office set the whole date and time right in front of me! Doctor always runs on time and the front desk lady even remembers my name! I’ll remember hers one day too!

One of the better GI docs I have seen. He is knowledgeable, listens well, up to date on most recent treatments, and thorough. He was able to give me much more visibility into a condition I’ve had for years that was dismissed by and misdiagnosed by every GI doc I’ve seen to date.

Seems like a great guy. Very efficient, although you only see the doctor for about 30 seconds before going under! The medical records dept is poor. I have had two colonoscopies and it is very difficult to get the records to your primary physician. Similarly, the «receipt» for the procedure is very vague; the number, type, and size of polyp is not included.
