    Seeing Dr. Quoc Nguyen ended up being a complete waste of time for me, and that is not something I…read moresay lightly. I had to see him twice for the exact same issue, and during the second visit it became clear that he did not remember seeing me before. I was asked the same questions all over again, as if the first appointment had never happened. What made it worse was that he ordered multiple labs during the first visit, only to request many of the same tests again later. It felt disorganized and repetitive, and ultimately unnecessary. To be fair, Dr. Nguyen himself is pleasant and polite. He comes across as calm and agreeable, and I don't think his intentions are bad. The problem is that being nice does not make up for a lack of continuity or attention to a patient's history. I left both appointments feeling like nothing had actually moved forward. The staff, unfortunately, made the experience significantly worse. They were rude, dismissive, and unhelpful, which added frustration to an already inefficient process. Basic questions were met with attitude, and it felt like an inconvenience to them just to be there. That alone would make me think twice about returning. ENTs are not always easy to find, especially ones with availability, but this is not a practice I would recommend investing your time in. Between repeat visits, duplicated labs, lack of familiarity with my case, and an unprofessional front office, the experience simply was not worth it. I walked away feeling like my time had been wasted rather than my issue addressed.

    This poor review is due to the phone reception. I was…read morehaving some problem on my ear and my friend referred to this place so I called to make an appointment as a new patient. After going through basic info checking, the phone receptionist asked about 3~4 screening questions that if I have crackling and popping noise on my ear, mucus going to throat, and etc. I answered as best as I can and she says my symptoms are not what they specializes. And she was trying to refer me to another ENT office. I didn't know there are different specialties in ENT. I'm no medical professional and just want to get checked up. She said this place is more specialized in nose and throat, and they won't be able to check my ears. Then take the E off of your name and just say NT. I clearly have a problem on my ear and I'm trying to get checked up by an ENT doctor. I'm not going to waste anymore time to this receptionist. This conversation happened on Friday afternoon and now I have to spend another week to find and see a doctor, while the symptom could get worse. The doctors and other professionals in this place is clearly doing a great job to get this many good reviews and my friend recommending as well. But this reception clearly turning the table upside down. Perhaps you should put that screening questions on your website, new patient section so people don't have to waste so much time, before asking patients info and insurance info.

    I've suffered from chronic sinusitis for many years and my doctor referred me to this specialist…read more Dr. Yu-Syken is a godsend. Dr. Quickly found the problem and was able to show me via camera while she inserted a very thin scope inside my nostrils. She's able to do all procedures in office with latest technology. Dr. Explained everything and prescribed antibiotics for my infection and recommended balloon dilation to get rid of my chronic infection and pain. Dr. Yu-Syken and her office staff are all very friendly, helpful. I feel highly confident in Dr.Yu-Syken's medical skill. I highly recommend this office if you need an ENT. I will be having procedure done in a month and will post an update afterwards.

They are familiar with MARCONS and fungal issues, while most ENTs are not. John and Dr. Yu were wonderful and very thorough - I felt no pain at all during the scopes even though they don't use anesthetic (whereas I almost died when I did one at another clinic). They even have huge TV screens so you can see what's going on in your ears and throat in realtime lol. Nurses and staff are great, too! Another bonus is their on-site Xoran mini CT scan machine. I was able to get a CT of my sinuses right then and there, with reduced radiation exposure. They checked my ear pressure as well. Thanks!

    I'm so glad I decided to see an ENT for my ear issues. After my care physician had mentioned my…read moreclogged ears, I found OCEANN through my Memorial Care portal search, and I'm so happy I did. The office is conveniently located in Huntington Beach, with plenty of parking and easy access. The staff is friendly, and my ears were thoroughly cleaned using a special vacuum tool by PA John Vincent. My eardrum is finally visible again. I'm honestly amazed by how well I can hear now. It feels like I've been dealing with years of buildup. I'm glad I went to a specialist. Thank you, Oceann ENT!

    I had a very frustrating experience at this office and felt compelled to share it. I made an…read moreappointment for a new patient consultation, I was shocked to find that they charged an unreasonable deductible that did not align with the guidelines provided by my insurance company. I was told that I will be charged approx $150 as deductible for office visit and another $115-$150 to do scoping. I have been to many specialists and none of them ever mention a deductible on an office visit. To be clear, my PPO insurance guideline is $10 copay for general doctor and $30 copay for specialists, no deductible involved in consultation/ office visit. I also verified with many agents from my insurance just to make sure this office is In network and has to follow my insurance protocols. I later contacted the office to clarify the charges, only to be met with an unhelpful and rude response from the biller, Jason, who keeps cutting me off with a nasty attitude while I was explaining to him in calm and polite manner. Instead of addressing my concerns professionally, he became defensive and dismissive, which was not only unprofessional but also unethical. It's clear that the office is not following proper insurance billing protocols, and Jason's behavior only made the situation worse. They want to collect $300 upfront just for a consultation. They are trying to rip their patients off. I would strongly advise anyone considering this office to carefully review their billing practices and ensure they are not being charged for services that don't follow insurance guidelines. Integrity and professionalism should be the cornerstone of healthcare, but unfortunately, this office and their staffs, particularly Jason, failed to demonstrate either. It's incredibly unsettling to think that a healthcare professional would engage in unethical behavior, especially when it involves something as critical as medical billing. I strongly advise others to be cautious and to carefully review any charges or claims made by this office. Integrity should always be a priority in healthcare, and unfortunately, this practice does not appear to uphold that standard. I would not recommend this office to anyone. If you value honesty in healthcare, look elsewhere I already canceled my appointment, and I suggest others look for a more transparent and ethical practice. For Jason, you should be aware that all the money that you are trying to steal are not yours to go berserk. Next time think hard before putting on a nasty attitude to a customer. They come to the practice so you can have a job. Now you may deny that you offer to refund me after billed if I overpaid, but first, you did not mention that initially, only after I spoke to my insurance and you acted like you were caught red-handed. Second, that is still wrong. Consultation should NEVER involve a deductible in any insurance. If you are in network, you vowed to follow insurance guideline to have more patients. What your office has been doing is simply a fraud.

    I am here to leave rave reviews for this office. I have been under the care of Philip Vu and saw…read moreDr. Vakalaka once. They are amazing! I had severe Chronic Rhinitis and Post-Nasal Drip. I had a horrible cough and runny nose. I have been prescribed a couple of medications, and the second one finally worked. Dr. Vu performed the surgery, and it has been exactly three months to know if the surgery worked! I saw Dr. Vu today May 15, 2026, and I have healed perfectly. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Vu and Dr. Vakalaka. I feel like a new person, and I am so happy. Also, the office is beautiful and serene. The girls in the office are amazing! I am so happy! I highly recommend this office and Dr. Vu and Dr. Vakalaka. Thank you, Dr. Vu for everything you did to make me better. You said you would, and you did!

    I have seen at least 5 ENT doctors before so I've gotten fairly good at catching ENT red flags and…read morethis practice has by far more red flags than almost any other practice I've been to. Here's what I've observed so far over a course of 3 months: 1) I was first referred by my PCP in March and couldn't get an appointment til April. Long wait for appointments, sure ok. Minimal wait time in the waiting room tho so that's good. 2) Most of the time you call during normal business hours, no one picks up. Supposedly they are only closed for lunch from 12-1 but it would take me days of calling at 10am and 2pm to reach someone. 3) Over the last 3 months, I was only ever scheduled with the PA, Phillip. He was PHENOMENAL, helpful, kind, and a huge reason I kept coming back. He was so considerate he even made sure i got in quick so I wouldn't get charged for parking. Guess what? By my 4th visit he was "no longer with the practice". I hope he quit bc if they let him go that's pretty a bad business move on their part lol 4) The two girls at the front desk are ok but Miryam the Surgery scheduler is incredibly rude. I had been open about needing my surgery to be treated with urgency bc I wasn't sure how long I'd still be eligible for insurance. They wouldn't even schedule me until my insurance approved everything so I had to wait weeks to even schedule. Ok fine. But when my insurance actually approved the surgery she kept saying it didn't. She even had the audacity to try to blame/gaslight me and say she didn't send the referral for it earlier bc I was "confused about my insurance". I wasn't confused I just didn't know how long I'd still be eligible for! She never even made an attempt to try to schedule me even before I told her about my insurance. So I filed a complaint with my insurance for negligence and refusal of care and ALL OF A SUDDEN I'm getting contacted multiple times over the course of days (by text) saying that I was approved and there were several surgery appointments available for me to take, appointments that were even sooner than what they had told me before. I'm calling BS on that. It seriously got to a point where I had to ask her "Do you guys even want to do this surgery?" Bc it felt like I had to force them to want to take my business bc they kept pushing my appointments far out and giving me the run around 5) Mind you after 3 months and multiple appointments I haven't even seen or MET Dr. Vakkalanka at this point and she's the one who I'm supposed to trust to operate on my unconscious body and conduct a complex revision septoplasty with turbinate reduction ?? Not even her coming in to say hi hello for two seconds. Extremely scary concept to wrap my mind around. 5) This Yelp page claims they have onsite CT imaging and they do NOT, they sent me to an imaging center for that procedure. That could've been due to my insurance but it's worth mentioning. 6) Did I mention the parking isn't even free after 20 minutes so appointments are rushed to accommodate this? To put into context how poor the service here was, I contacted another ENT to take my business to and I already have an appointment scheduled in 4 days. I had my primary surgery in 2020 that apparently didn't permanently fix my deviated septum in my right nostril or enlarged turbinates blocking my left nostril and these issues have worsened over the years and every day I am abusing Vicks inhalers and Vapo Rub just to get through the day. I can only sleep on my left side but really I have no airflow through either side and I have valve collapse. And I could've been getting help sooner and breathing again but I was trying to be patient and understanding and give the benefit of doubt. Don't waste your time and energy like I did, it's not worth it!
