This was my first OB/GYN and the best doctor ever he delivered my first babies, my firstborn, daughter ( 1997) and my second born son Daniel, ( 2001)who I named after him. There's nothing like a doctor that you can trust and this is him Dr. Daniel Sternfeld.

Dr. Daniel Sternfeld is an exceptional OB/GYN and surgeon, and I truly can't recommend him enough. I had been struggling with severe menorrhagia for years, which led to iron-deficiency anemia so severe that I needed iron infusions every few months just to function.After discovering a large fibroid that had enlarged my uterus to five times its normal size, Dr. Sternfeld and I decided that a robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy was the best course of action. I was reassured to learn that he was actually the first physician to perform robotic surgery at Saddleback Medical Center in Laguna Hills--his expertise really shows.From the very beginning, Dr. Sternfeld took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure all of my questions were answered. Even when I messaged after hours through the patient portal, he and his office responded quickly and kindly. That level of care and attentiveness helped ease any anxiety I had throughout the process.Now, four weeks post-op, I feel fantastic. I'm healing beautifully and already back to enjoying walks and light activity. This surgery has been life-changing--and I have Dr. Sternfeld and his amazing team to thank for that.If you're looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate OB/GYN who truly listens and delivers excellent care, I highly recommend Dr. Sternfeld.
