He certainly did a great job in removing the thyroid gland with a deep grown tumor without damaging any other tissues. He made sure that everything is on track after surgery by following up regularly for several days after releasing from hospital. He took a good amount of time to answer all my concerns and questions before surgery since it was my first major surgery in a highly sensitive organ which I was nervous about. The scar healed very well over a period of a week and I got back to my normal routine in less than a week.

I worked with Dr. Kasey Li on a palate expander procedure to address sleep apnea, and the…read moreexperience was exceptional from start to finish. What stood out most was his deep clinical expertise, judgment, and quiet confidence. He is meticulous in his evaluation and very clear and honest about tradeoffs, expectations, and the role of patient-specific anatomy. The procedure required real commitment, but Dr. Li and his team provided thorough, attentive follow-up care throughout the full 18-month expansion process. I have just completed the procedure and have experienced a significant reduction in my CPAP pressure settings, along with a meaningful improvement in sleep quality. Even while using CPAP previously, I rarely slept more than seven hours a night; I can now sleep a full eight hours and feel genuinely rested. I also notice clearer, freer breathing during the day. Dr. Li is widely regarded as a leading expert in this procedure, and my experience reflects that level of mastery and care.

I recently was treated by Dr. Kasey Li at Stanford and had a truly life-changing experience. Prior…read moreto visiting Dr. Li, I had undergone an MMA surgery with another Stanford surgeon with a very minimal 3 mm jaw advancement, and because of this, my AHI remained the same one year after surgery as it was before surgery -- in other words, the surgery did not improve my sleep apnea at all. However, Dr. Li was able to help me by performing his EASE procedure, which not only helped me sleep better, but also prevented me from needing another revision MMA surgery to advance me the clinically recommended 10+ mm (instead of just a paltry 3 mm). During my EASE operation, Dr. Li even removed some of the MMA hardware from the previous surgery because it was "festering." Compared to MMA, EASE was much less invasive (I was back at work in less than a week), and after several months of gradual expansion with Dr. Li, he had gotten me off CPAP completely, allowing me to sleep much better without having to wear an uncomfortable mask forcing air into my nose every night. This was a tremendous outcome! I was surprised at how much more helpful EASE was for my sleep apnea than my initial MMA, given the latter required a month off work on a full-liquid diet. Treating sleep apnea is a mine field. I researched the alternatives to EASE heavily, and every other option was significantly more invasive and risky (any maxillary expansion procedure involving a LeFort cut is going to be rough and risk complications). There's also quite a few completely unproven / ineffective treatments that do not help sleep apnea at all that you have to be prudent to avoid. And as I found out the hard way, even at name-brand institutions, the surgeons there may not advance your jaw enough to help your sleep apnea. Dr. Kasey Li is truly the best in the world and will take excellent care of you. I am forever grateful for his help and expertise.

The urgent care physician advised me not to drive or fly home because the elevation change could burst my eardrum. I was worried about the time for my body to "heal itself" so I called and called to find someone reputable to help me. I read other reviews and decided to call the California Ear Institute. I am the most blessed person for finding Dr. Hester!!! He explained ALL of my options then explained what he would do if it were "him". Dr. Hester relieved my pain and allowed me to go home to my family. In a world so motivated by money ... it is wonderful to know there are physician's who love helping people and are skilled at their craft. BRAVO to Dr. Hester and his awesome staff!

I was referred to Dr Hester by my sleep doctor and my first consult with Hester was great.

I did not leave my visit feeling more confused (which is what used to happen to me after ent visits). He does not work with insurance but you get what you pay for. You are getting quality care so to me it's 100 percent worth it. Angelica at his office is very sweet and responsive with her emails. Christine at the surgery center is also awesome and answered all of my finance questions for surgery.

If you have HHT, Dr. Hwang may be the answer he was to l for me. Fewer nosebleeds and better quality of life. Thank you, Dr. Hwang! I've spent 52 years having people look up my nose and pretend to know about HHT. I've been butchered by almost every single one EXCEPT Dr. Hwang. My wait was about 5 or 7 minutes in the waiting room and then 4-6 before I saw the assistant and a few more to see the assistant and Dr Hwang. The man advocates for patients with insurance companies! I have an HMO and I haven't paid anything. If you have an HMO and have ever needed a specialist who knows about an issue that only 5% of the world population has ever heard of/had, you'll know how rare it is to get your needs met as well as a doctor who will fight for you.
