KATHY YU-SYKEN, MD, FACS - ORANGE COUNTY EAR ALLERGY NOSE & NECK REVIEWS
Dr. Yu is awesome! Could not breath through my nose for the longest time, called and they set my appointment right away with no hassle. I was a little nervous going into my procedure, but staff made me feel very welcome and comfortable before, during, and after my nasal polyp removal. I would 10 out of 10 highly recommend this place for any ENT complications you may have, it was 100 percent worth it Also, the nasal polyp removal was nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be, and is pretty much over right after they start!
I was lucky enough to find Dr Yu-Syken through my grandson’s highly recommended pediatric ENT years ago. Dr Yu-Syken is an amazing specialist. After suffering for many years, she quickly diagnosed my issues that other doctors overlooked and resolved them. I was ecstatic with the results and that the procedure ended my life long sinus problems. Through the years she has also treated some bronchial/asthma issues using a combo of both natural and medicinal solutions which have worked amazingly. Recently, she has treated a tricky viral/bacterial sore throat and once again, am impressed with her approach and appreciate the attention she has given to this issue. Dr Yu-Syken is up up-to-date on the newest treatments, medicinal options, procedures and even natural solutions. She listens intently, takes copious notes and the examinations are thorough before providing treatment options and advice. I recommend Dr Yu-Syken to my friends as I know they will be in good hands when a specialist is needed. The PA’s, nurses and staff are also attentive, knowledgeable and pleasant. I rarely write reviews but if you are looking for a great ENT, you will be pleased with her expertise.
My sinus surgery experience was outstanding. Never once did I feel any pain. In fact I held a conversation with the doctor some of the time. I was amazed that you don’t feel anything. During the surgery Dr. Yu explains step by step the surgery procedure so there isn’t any surprises. After Dr. Yu completes her job she stays with you to explain what she did. Dr. Yu is a one of a kind surgeon with many years experience, and I want to say that I am so happy I found her. I’ve had a chronic sinus condition most of my life. My sleep was always interrupted from turning from side to side in order to breathe. Since the surgery my sleep is undisturbed. I no longer have fullness or pressure in my ears and my sinus congestion is completely gone. Thank you Dr. Yu!

SARAH K. VAKKALANKA, MD - PACIFICA ENT REVIEWS
I am fortunate to have dr Vakkalanka as my ENT. My case is complicated with over 2 days surgeries. However, she has me on a maintenance program that prolongs the need for surgical intervention. She is caring, and proactive in difficult cases such as mine. Plus the fact she always greet patients with a nice smile.
I had a procedure done to open up my sinuses three weeks ago by Dr. Vakkalanka.It was a very good experience. The staff was very professional and the facility was tip top. I waited until my sinuses healed to write this review and I'm happy to say it was a complete success. I haven't breathed this good in years. I highly recommend Dr. Sarah Vakkalanka. So if you're on the fence about going there you can rest easy.
Dr Vakkalanka is so patient and kind! She treated my Grandmother who has severe Parkinson’s & Dementia and was fighting the ear exam. Dr Vakkalanka was so patient and tried to examine the trauma in my Grandma’s ear while my Grandfather and I tried to hold her arms down and calm her. Dr Vakkalanka actually squeezed us in that day even though she was getting ready to leave. The following visits were filled with the same compassion! I’m not sure why the reviews say that her staff is not great.... everyone in her office was always very professional, helpful and very nice!
