Just had my last post-op follow up (11 weeks) and I still have nothing but amazing things to say about the entire staff that works for Del Rey MD. I truly wish that every avenue of medical care had people like they do here. From my procedure until now, I have experienced 0 pain. My nose is just about completely healed and the difference in my breathing and sleeping quality is night and day. I can't imagine having gone the rest of my life breathing the way that I was. Post-op check ins over the weeks consisted of: checking out my healing through the little nasal camera, an allergy patch test, suggestions to keep my turbinates from growing in size again, reassurance that everything was healing great, etc. I'm not sure if I will ever have a reason to come back, but I will 100% be recommending Del Rey MD for those in need of an ENT. Thank you again, and especially to Lauryn, for everything! read more

Del Rey MD - Immediately post-op - Ear Nose & Throat Near Me - Long Beach, California

Bait and switch. Try a different office. The nurse and doctor I saw were both great--kind, professional, and helpful. I felt comfortable and well taken care of during that part of my visit. Unfortunately, things took a turn when I interacted with Angela (the blonde older lady staff member). She was very aggressive about trying to schedule me for an elective procedure that I wasn't even sure I needed yet. Instead of giving me space to think things over or ask questions, I felt pressured and uncomfortable. She kept making comments about how she works in multiple offices and making the appointment for a few months out would be easier for HER. She kept saying "I can't even call you to follow up in 5 months?" And said I would need to pay my copay to hold the appointment. Her attitude really took a turn and she just handed me a black folder and said "I guess you can just read about it yourself then, you're all set" and I walked myself out without anyone saying goodbye, or following up. I hope the office can address this, because the medical care itself was good--but the end was a total bait and switch. read more

I am beyond amazed by the level of care and professionalism from this entire team. From start to finish, my experience was nothing short of exceptional--especially as this was my first time seeing an ENT specialist. A huge thank you to Charlotte, my PA at the Marina del Rey office. She took the time to thoroughly explain my CT scan, listened attentively to my concerns, and provided clear, thoughtful solutions for the sinus pressure and multiple sinus infections I've dealt with over the past year. Her knowledge and compassion immediately put me at ease. She recommended a septoplasty along with additional procedures, all completed in a single procedure that took less than an hour. Also a big thanks to Trisha who walked me through the process and provided me my insurance coverage information. I had my procedure done at the Long Beach location and was just as impressed. Lauryn and Megan were incredibly kind, calming, and welcoming--they truly made me feel comfortable and cared for throughout the entire process. Dr. Sigari did an outstanding job; the procedure was far less painful than I expected with local anesthesia, and everything was handled with precision and care. Overall, my experience at both the Marina Del Rey and Long Beach offices was beyond incredible. The entire team created an environment that was professional, reassuring, and genuinely compassionate. I walked away feeling calm, confident, and extremely grateful. I couldn't recommend this practice more highly. read more

I booked a next day appointment with Dr. Alison Ochoa, PA through Zocdoc due to some ear pain. I don't love visiting any type of medical office to be honest and generally get anxious, but Dr. Ochoa was super friendly and calming. She talked me through everything and was able to get me on a treatment plan to support me. I felt like she had a great bedside manner and actually listens to her patients which is not always the case with medical professionals. Offices were super clean. Only downfall is you have to pay for parking. read more

Del Rey MD - Patient Room (with a view) - Ear Nose & Throat Near Me - Long Beach, California

See all

I found this ENT office on Google and feel VERY LUCKY. The front office is very polite on the phone, and made me an appointment in two days from the day I called. Today I went and saw a Progressive Flag on the front door, very welcoming. The check in process was smooth (they have an in dept form you fill out before you arrive) and the equipment is clean and new. A medical assistant took me right to a CT scan, which saves scads of time. After another medical assistant did a quick intake, I met with Lauryn Ciszekleft, MSN, who was amazing. She found answers for the problem with my left ear and gave me another referral which I needed. If you have an ear, nose or throat issue and live in Long Beach, this is the place! read more

I was having many issues with sinus headaches and snoring . besides the best medical care I could receive with four procedures that were done to my nose to help me. Which it has as far as headaches and snoring ,the medical staff, and the office staff here at Delray MD is bar none the best, the friendliest ,and the most professional educated team of people that I have ever met. Not only are they good at what they do, they do it with a smile on their face. They have shown me that they really do care. Special acknowledgment, and shout out to April and Emma .! read more

Loved this place from beginning to end. It's a very pretty and clean workspace and the people who work there are just awesome which makes such a difference. The ENT that I spoke with was extremely thorough explaining things to me in a very clear way. April who checked me out was truly delightful! I'm happy to have found this place. read more

First time visiting and I'm HIGHLY Impressed with the Quality of care Del Rey MD has provided. I don't feel like they're just checking me in to check out. They took their time and gave the utmost care from the check in process with Nadine, triage with AJ and the exam with NP Lauryn Ciszek, explaining my issue and finding a solution. April was wonderful as well in helping to coordinate future care. The staff went above and beyond. Some Medical practices can be intimidating, but not Del Rey MD, theyare very welcoming. I look forward to coming back as needed and adding them as part of my medical team of care! The office is very Clean and welcoming, ease of Parking is a Huge plus. If you're able to and need to, definitely consider making Del Rey MD your Go To ENT. 5/5 HIGHLY recommend read more

Ask for itemized bill before procedure. Make sure your insurance covers it. CT scan is optional Earwax suction may cause hearing loss. Some reviews have reported it read more

Great people here and had a procedure done here and they were very professional and am healing now but I think they did a great job so far !

Dear Del Rey MD Team, I visited your office today and wanted to share how welcoming and friendly. The nurse took the time to explain everything to me thoroughly, which I truly appreciated. Unfortunately, I learned that Del Rey MD is not within my provider group, which made me very sad. That said, I would absolutely recommend your office based on the kindness and professionalism I experienced today. Thank you again for such a positive visit. Warm regards, Tracy read more

Lauryn is the absolute best!! My husband came in with extreme symptoms and Lauryn and her team had him scheduled for his procedure 2 days later. The check in for his procedure went flawlessly! We were welcomed into the office with so much positivity. She had a great sense of humor, which really helped ease my husband's nerves. Love this office!! read more

I went there because the urgent care did no have the tool to remove some piece of ear wax. Immediately they say all the patients get a ct scan of their face. At first I refused it. Through the visit they convinced me. Then read me the report and said my sinuses were block and w a procedure they can widen them and they can remove some fat. I agree but the more I thought it did not feel right. I went to my USC doctors and as expected all I have was a deviated septum that has not interfere w my breathing. What was recommended was not needed. Be cautious and get a second opinion. Procedures recommended were unnecessary. Get a second opinion by a reputable doctor. read more

Wow! I'm blown away by the professionalism of this office team. From the moment my husband and I walked in to Del Rey MD we felt welcomed and supported by the team. Everyone from the front desk, surgery coordinator, MA and PA made our experience unforgettable. They even sent us each home with a bag of Halloween candy! What a warm and welcoming bunch! My husband has a procedure coming up and I know he will be in excellent hands. Thank you very much Del Rey MD Team! read more

This place is an absolute SCAM. DO NOT come here. Just don't. The irony is that I actually read the Yelp reviews before I went in, but their Google Reviews have less mixed reviews and just went by those. There was no doctor. There was just a PA. I ended up getting charged $248 (not including my co-pay) because they performed an endoscopy and a CT scan. (And you know they're rolling in the dough when there's a CT machine *in* the office.) My advice to you if you decide to go here is DO NOT get any imaging done. Just don't. They will try to tell you it's necessary, but all the while they try to SELL you on a sinuplasty (that costs thousands of dollars out-of-pocket. So instead of having any kind of quality of care, they are just saleswomen trying to sell you something that is extremely costly to the patient. Places like this are the reason people don't trust doctors. read more

Very advanced ENT center. They actually have a test that can tell you which antibiotic will work on your bacterial infection. So it's no trial and error read more

Haven't been into Del Ray since Covid time, but got the same great care I got back then. Was easy to get an appointment with Lauryn Ciszek. I've had a rapid hearing loss and some equilibrium problems. Had a CT scan right away, then an exam. Very thorough explaination of CT results. I was sent out for audio testing and was able to get a quick appointment. After results of Audio exam came in, Del Ray called me and wanted me to see a Otolaryngology specialist. I was given a MRI referral from them as well as the one from Del Ray. I was able to get an MRI yesterday on the Del Ray referral. All this has been since last Monday. The front office has been keeping up with me all along. Very much recommend this office. Loks like sinus procedure will be next. I'll have to follow up on that later. read more

In immediate need of an ENT and was able to make an appointment on a Friday at 3pm PT for the following business day. The appointment was with the NP and was more of an educational session! The office is equipped with all innovated techniques/machines, it was amazing! A full scan of my husband was done within 15 minutes and his WAY OVERDUE treatment was on the calendar the following week and will continue to undergo "sleep study" care at this office! Del Rey ENT is unfortunately not 'within network', but is worth the out-of-pocket costs and flexible. I work in the healthcare industry (insurance) and Del Rey ENT is worth it. The office staff is accommodating and professional. The office is very clean! The parking is very convenient for the location. On surgery day I brought work with me, assuming I would be there for a good portion of the day and I didn't even have time to finish my coffee (compliments of Del Rey). I am a huge advocate for referrals and networking, especially in healthcare and specialty needs! I highly recommend Del Rey ENT and open to any discussion about the surgery performed and ongoing care with Del Rey ENT! Just let the office know how you can be reached and I would be happy to share! read more

It's my fault for not asking the receptionist the itemized list of charges were going to be but I didn't pay much attention since I thought the bills wasn't going to be that high. Before my 1st visit and after my 2 visit, I asked if my insurance was going to cover it and if I had a bill to pay but I was told that I don't owe anything during the office visits but got sent a bill about 2 weeks later after services were performed. They charged around $2600 to my insurance, (I didn't think it was going to be this high and based on the reviews I've seen so far, I believe this clinic tries to charge as much as they can depending on the patient's insurance coverage. My insurance paid the majority of the cost but I still believe they are over charging for services rendered. 1st visit CT scan ear wax removal they used some sort of scope to check inside my nose and proposed a surgery to reduce my turbinate's (inner nose) to improve breathing (which I declined) 2nd visit ear wax removal for my other ear (which wasn't the affected ear) I decided to take it anyway minor checkup and I used ear drops and a bulb syringe within 1 week between my 1st and 2nd visit so my left affected ear was all clear during the check-up read more

10/10 I highly recommend !!! I came in for a congestion and a really bad ear ache. Went to multiple doctors for discomfort and finally found this team. The ladies in the office were all super welcoming and they were able to find the cause of my issues. I they have up to date technology that they also utilized to show and explain everything that I had claimed as issues. They pulled up my scan on a screen and compared to a normal scan. I wish I found them sooner. Affordable and effective! Thank me later ! You won't regret coming here. read more

Del Rey MD - Diagram of sinus - Ear Nose & Throat Near Me - Long Beach, California

Sinus issues since Covid for 6 months. Made an appointment for the same day. Entire staff was fantastic and very informative. Scheduled a sinus procedure for the following week. Doctor explained everything and the procedure went extraordinarily well. They contacted me the next day to check on me and answer any questions I had. If you're struggling with your sinuses, I highly recommend Del Rey MD. You'll be glad you did. I can breathe now and tossed out the Afrin! Breathe better, call them now! read more

I've been waiting to complete my post-op to write this review, and can say from start to finish I've had an amazing experience with Dr. Sigari and his incredible team--Lauryn, Jade, April, Jo, Nadeen, Megan, Emma, and Nikita (sorry if I missed anyone!). The patient experience was genuinely top notch. There was never a moment of feeling rushed or pressured, and they patiently took the time to answer all of my questions. I want to thank them directly in this review for embodying the idea of patient care, it's not often one feels that way with healthcare these days. I've suffered from sinus problems my whole life and some family members recommended the Balloon Sinuplasty procedure after having it themselves. The procedure and healing process was quick and easy, and I already feel improvement (clearer sinuses, better breathing) a few weeks out. Everyone's results and experiences differ with things like this, but if it's something you are considering I highly recommend this office. read more

Red flags I saw and wish I took more seriously. Asking me to post a review in the middle of my first appointment, being told from th office coordinator that her "vibe check is off" when asking me what I do and how much of my 2k deductible I could pay... I had a bad gut feeling when I was told I couldn't cancel over the phone when I called the office. In fact, I couldn't cancel any scheduled procedure unless I called or texted their employee April directly. After jumping through hoops and efforts of convincing to not cancel, I ended up cancelling. After going to a second ENT, I was told my deductible is actually waived given the in office procedure (same procedure I was going to do at del rey) but for some reason... April was asking me how much of my deductible I could pay. It was weird. I almost paid 500 for this procedure at del rey. They're crooks guys. Don't fall for this. I can only imagine how many elderly people they've taken advantage of and folks in general who are unable to do their homework or see a second opinion. read more

This ENT office is beyond expectations. From the time they returned my call at 8:03 to the individual staff members, I was impressed. April took my call, Emma squeezed me in, Megan provided the initial testing and NP, Lauryn was the professional I needed. Simply exceptional care. read more

Very thankful for this place! I have a family history of small sinuses which can cause constant pain and pressure from sinuses not draining well. After a consultation I was able to get a surgery scheduled a week later. It was over a year ago and til this day, mi no longer have that same pressure. Thank you very much! read more

Five stars isn't enough for this office! I was just postpartum when I found out I had a severe sinus infection and was overwhelmed at the thought of a procedure. But from the moment I walked in, I was met with warmth, compassion, and incredible care. The team put me completely at ease, and the procedure was truly life-changing. They even surprised my baby & me with gifts -- something I'll never forget. If you're looking for the best ENT care out there, look no further. Gold star, A+, beyond grateful! read more

Literally everyone I've interacted with here has been warm and welcoming. Lauryn talked me through my ct scan and showed me why I've been so miserable and explained what procedures will help. April set me up with my appointment for a few procedures and has been helpful with addressing my concerns with my own personal medical anxieties. I feel like I'm in great hands here. read more

I booked an appointment through Zocdoc, making sure that I would be seen by an actual MD. When I arrived, the actual doctor wasn't even there. I was told that Dr. Sigari is rarely even in the hospital and most patients are seen by his Physicians assistants. Complete waste of time and charged $2000 for a 10 minute examination by a PA. read more

By far the best doctors visit I've ever had. The staff is phenomenal and take great care of you. Everyone is knowledgeable in what they do and are making sure to give you the best and most painless experience possible. Would refer all my friends and family here in a heartbeat. read more

Great customer service. They are always so kind and friendly. They are helpful in answering any questions or concerns that I may hav.

These guys are the real deal. Not gonna lie, I was a skeptic initially considering how many balloon scinoplastys they do. But I've struggled w/ sinusitis for over 10 years and this was the first team that actually offered a resolution to my ongoing sinus issues. I'm in the medical field so I did my research & made a few calls before I did the procedure. Not only is it all legit, but this crew is the best in the biz at what they do; and they have fun doing it. April always greets me over the phone or in person with the biggest smile and playful energy. Shawn was super helpful in my first appt - explained everything in detail from procedure to billing, put my mind at ease, and answered my zillion questions when I called back the next day. Nadine has been super kind at each follow-up I've scheduled. And Lauryn - rad human, amazinggg PA. She is insanely thorough, personable, and truly cares about her patients. She takes her time with me on every appointment, really listens, and explains everything in layman's terms so I can remember. All in all, this turned into more than just one procedure for me - this is now my go-to team for all things ENT and I couldn't recommend them more. Thanks crew! Appreciate each of you! read more

April was the sweetest and kindest person when helping me explain the process for the procedure. She worked with me and explained everything in detail. I am so glad I found this place. All the girls were sweet and mind you, they are all gorgeous! Highly recommend this place to anyone that might be considering. read more

Updating after having visits with other ENTs (not just the PA). What I learned is that this place clearly does not follow standard medical practices/protocol (clear indicator that this is a profit-driven medical clinic): 1. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT required to have a CT scan done on first visit with provider. The point of first visit is to collect your medical history, go over current symptoms, do a thorough exam (w/ endoscope or some other tools). If a CT scan is needed, they will then order after the initial exam. 2. CT scans are normally sent to a Radiologist to have interpreted. Keep in mind, they are medical DOCTORS who have gone through extensive training and read images all day. At Del Rey they only seem to have a PA read and go over the scans with you AND they'll be the ones suggesting a procedure the day of?? Are you kidding me? This is a misdiagnosis waiting to happen (which I believe is what happened to me). 3. Surgical alternatives / medications are usually offered first before offering a procedure, it is when the prescribed medication fails to provide symptomatic relief that the DOCTOR will offer surgery. From the reviews I read and personal experience, they seem to skip this step A LOT and move straight away to offer you surgery. And again, why is the PA, who is not performing your surgery, offering you surgery? 4. I have only seen the doctor on the day of surgery. No pre-op, no follow ups from him. Only seen by the PA before & after. To this day, I find this strange, unprofessional and perhaps even breaking medical standards of care. Also, PAs have to be supervised by a doctor, so like, where the heck is the doctor??? I am now having a revision surgery to correct the mistakes this doctor done, so just some warnings for anyone considering coming here. Don't blindly trust the google reviews or awards that are being shown. read more

Scheduling an appointment was super-easy and got an immediate appointment the very next day. Love that they have an online portal and they provided an iPad to fill up the forms instead of paperwork. Met Raia (PA) for my vertigo, absolutely loved her, she is very knowledgeable, was patient, attentive and explained us everything in very details. Made us feel very comfortable and confident. I am happy with my visit. read more

Stay away from this Dr . Total scam . They talk you into doing a $16,000 procedure . Everybody that goes in get a CT scan and then tell you that you need a procedure done . Seems everybody gets this the procedure . You don't even meet the Dr until he does this ballon procedure . Then disappears never to be seen again . Not a real ENT visit ! Get a second opinion better yet stay away from this Dr . read more

I had a great experience here. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, knowledgeable and the service is excellent.

Upon entering the office for my appointment, I noticed a sign patients must wear a mask. No problem - I didn't have one on me so I was told I could purchase one for $1. I explained to the receptionist that it would be a good idea to mention this requirement ahead of time and gladly paid a buck for a mask. A few minutes later, one of the gals in the office told the receptionist that she shouldn't have apologized to me bc she tells everyone that makes an appointment a mask is required! Very unprofessional to say that in my presence! read more

I hate writing negative reviews but this place earned it. My son has been experiencing allergies and as any parent can understand you want to fix it asap. When we arrived they said "we don't accept children under 16 and we left you a voicemail." They DID NOT leave a voicemail or even an email, but proceeded to say they did. They don't even have that information on the website. We even double checked to make sure and still nothing. What sucks the most is their lack of empathy. The 3 ladies at the desk just stared at their screens and gave the fake line "I'll be sure to let my manager know about the issue." Yeah... sure... Do yourself a favor and find a better place. The 3 stars they currently have should've been my warning but I tried to support local. read more

Giving Del Rey a 10 Star Doctor and Staff Rating! Such kind and courteous staff and doctors. I felt so well cared for and they are professional, knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and so much more. I highly recommend them for all ENT needs. Alli, April, Jo, Emma, and Megan, I thank you for helping me to breath better with your expertise! I no longer have ear issues when flying in a plane or traveling to higher elevations. Much appreciated and I will return for more visits in the future! Superb! read more

I feel like an idiot for not reading the reviews first! I had some light wax in my ears. Raya recommend something called 'micro suction.' Look that up before you even CONSIDER doing it. Many people suffer hearing loss as I did. Those machines have a very high decibel level that can damage your ear drum. IT's a thing. I told Raya that I was experiencing pain during the suction, no she did not stop. -That pain was my eardrum telling me it was being damaged. To add insult to injury, after speaking to Raya a couple of weeks later about what I was suffering, she recommended to another horrible place called Shohet ENT in Seal Beach. Do NOT go there eithwe, they poked me with a hypodermic needed in my ear drum with steroid and said it could help. I felt like I was going to die and now the high end hearing loss is worse. Please read reviews, they matter, especially if there is a pattern. I am considering legal action at this point. read more
