OCEANN is the crème de la crème of ENTs in OC. Their approach is more integrative - something of utmost importance to me. 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! read more

Excellent doctor. I had the balloon procedure done for both my sinuses and ear canals, and I can't believe how much better I feel! However, listen to me carefully: absolutely insist on having the procedure done in a hospital or surgical setting under anesthesia. She gave me plenty of medication, but for me, it simply wasn't enough. The procedure was incredibly painful, and with all the medication in my system, I ended up in the ER afterward, violently ill. That being said, I would still recommend the procedure because the results have been amazing and I feel so much better. I would just strongly recommend discussing anesthesia and pain-management options with your doctor beforehand. read more

I'm so glad I decided to see an ENT for my ear issues. After my care physician had mentioned my clogged 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! read more

I wanted to get established as a new patient and described my symptoms - all of which are sinus related - I was actually told to go somewhere else - wow!! For advertising yourselves as an "ENT" you're anything but. Stay away - idk what they're operating here but it ain't ENT services. read more

Love this place they took care of my ear, quick professional, and I'll definitely be going back

5/5 office experience and service 5/5 quality care and bedside manner (+ around the clock support) Everyone from the front desk to healthcare professionals were so lovely, helpful, and thorough. The amount of care the staff puts into every patient is unparalleled in the industry. The best bedside manner I've experienced thus far and would highly recommend OCEANN ENT to anyone experiencing ENT issues. Special shout out to John Enverga, Albert, and Angela (+ Dr. Yu is also exceptional). Thank you, all! read more

For perspective, I have insurance, I can go to an ENT in my network in which there are plenty with great reviews and who would not cost me a dime to see. But while I was researching those options, I came across OCEANN, I saw great reviews of the office and Dr Yu-Syken. Now I have been dealing with some chronic and personally embarrassing issues that have made me seek out an ENT that would have the excellence to perhaps go beyond the basic evaluation and care that is typical of most doctors these days. However, that is not what I experienced today with this office and doctor. When I arrived (15 minutes early btw), I approached the front desk and spoke with a younger female who came across almost condescending and was rather unwelcoming. She asked for my ID and insurance card, I reminded her I was a cash patient. Then she went over my forms and pointed out that I had initialed the part of the form that rejected a certain diagnostic test, I disagreed and she told me that I did and impatiently directed me to fill the form out with other needed information. Considering I was there for all the bells and whistles promised to me as a cash patient, I wasn't rejecting any treatment. I really wanted to comment on her attitude but I have been working on being more understanding and patient myself, so I reminded myself it was Monday and considered that hers may not have started off nicely so I sat down and did as I was told. Then she informed me that I needed to pay the $400 cash price, I asked if we could settle at the end, as I have done so in other occasions wine I have paid cash. With more condescension, she said no and that's how they do it. I get it, it was just a question, but that certainly put me off even more and I should have listened to my intuition as this visit was one $400 disappointment! However, the only highlight of the visit came while I was called in for the appointment. A delightful young woman led me back to the room. She was welcoming and engaged. She did the intake and provided excellent customer service as well as conversation. She left and I waited about 10 minutes before the doctor walked in, she brought her assistant or transcriber with her and proceeded to ask a couple of questions. It felt rushed from the start, i tried to offer more information and voice my concerns but it was like she just wanted to get me in and get me out. While scoping my nose and ears she gave me a simple diagnosis and was almost ready to push me out until I advocated for myself and informed her of symptoms I'd been experiencing. She said she didn't see a need for the scan (that is included in the consultation) but then I gave more information and she, what seemed reluctantly, agreed to a scan. So then they moved me to the other room, scanned me, then she came in read the results to her assistant, and pretty much said it was allergies and that I had a slight infection. My $400 bought me a 1/2 hour of sub-par service. It felt as though I was just the next thing to be inspected on the assembly line. A wam bam thank you mam! Of course like most doctors do now, I was assigned an assortment of meds, and then told at the checkout desk, that my follow up would not be as much as today's appointment , as It would only be $200. Follow up for what? So you can ask me if the pills worked? I am so disappointed, I feel like a fool for thinking that real medical CARE from doctors who listen and are willing to investigate beyond default diagnosis could be derived from yelp, google, etc reviews and professional kudos and accomplishments. If this would have been the care received from a doctor paid for my insurance, I would understand and defer to the fact that mediocrity plagues the American healthcare system. But when I pay $400 of hard earned cash, and I know it may not be a lot for most but for me it is, and I did so out of desperation to have this one debilitating condition further investigated, I expect to be treated better than just another transaction where you try to maximize profit by eliminating as many costs as possible (time, not performing all services agreed upon for the consultation, etc). If you are a cash patient, take your health and money elsewhere. For the young lady at the front desk, I hope you have a better day and life for that matter.For the the intake lady, thank you for being excellent and the warmth of the office, you are an asset. For Dr. Yu, thank you for the lesson, I wish you all the best. Office is clean, accessible location, and has some awesome employees like the one I spoke to on the phone and the intake nurse. read more

Thank you PA Stephanie Cho for taking care of my ear problems. She patiently and gently cleaned my ears. Office staff accommodate my appointment request whenever possible. Overall I had an excellent office experience the best part is that there is no wait time. Thank you! read more

I'm a pre-PA student who had the opportunity to shadow at this clinic. Stephanie and John are both knowledgeable and considerate, taking time to explain symptoms and treatment plans to every patient. From my first day, Stephanie walked me through ENT anatomy posters and care. John offered to perform an exam on me so I could experience what it's like to be a patient. Observing their approach, along with positive feedback from patients, has strengthened my commitment to becoming a PA. In addition, observing Dr. Yu's calm and precise sinus surgery in a tough case was truly inspiring. Overall, I had such a wonderful experience here and highly recommend this clinic for any ENT concerns. read more

Had a follow up visit today. Treatment they recommended resolved my issue! I saw PA John who was a doll. They have a great, upbeat staff.

BUYER BEWARE! A SCAM! This place charged me $300 to remove Wax from my Ears and did not do anything on my first Visit but then scheduled me for a second visit and them tried to charge me again another $300! I told them they were liars and very deceptive about and never went to my second appointment. I paid $300 for an office visit ! What a Scam! read more

My husband and I recently had a need to visit an ENT. I searched for an office that was modern and had strong customer reviews. I found OCEANN through Yelp, and we couldn't be happier. Both of us had been told our conditions could not be helped but Dr. Yu knew exactly what was wrong with each of us and resolved our symptoms with noninvasive, state of the art techniques. She and her team are ultra professional- something sorely lacking in most medical offices. We enthusiastically give OCEANN 5 stars!! read more

A wonderful office excellent care. Very relaxed and caring as procedures are being done. Very thorough. Dr Yu is the best and her staff is awesome. My whole family are patients. I use the SinusReleaf Faithfully every morning it has kept me healthy I am convinced. read more

I had an emergency situation and my dentist called over to get me into Oceann ENT right away. They were professional, friendly, knowledgeable and they put my mind at ease that my issue was not urgent or dangerous. I really liked how well they listened to me and were compassionate--so rare these days. I'll definitely return in the event I need an ENT in the future. read more

Dr. Yu-Syken is an excellent doctor. I was impressed with the thorough examination I had on my first visit. I was able to actually see the sinus infection in my nasal cavity on a screen. She listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. Her staff was great! read more

Excellent quality of care and super helpful! They were able to give a ct can in office allowing me to avoid weeks of waiting

I was referred to Oceann ent by my friend. My family doctor kept sending me home saying they didn't see anything wrong but my ear was throbbing so I came here. They have the tools that family doctors don't have like a better scope that displays on the TV screen. They put the scope on my ear/nose and found that I had a pretty bad sinus and ear infection. I also have really bad allergies all year long, itchy throat, sneezing, with itchy ear and postnasal drips. The Physician Assistants were very thorough and showed me how inflamed my ear was. Dr. Yu is now treating me for my sinus issues and so far my allergies haven't been as bad in the middle of the night. read more

After visiting several ENTs I was lucky enough to be referred to OCEANN ENT from a friend, and given the fact that I have had allergies and sinus problems my whole life I decided to give them a try. The examination was thorough and the visit was efficient and both providers John Vincent as well as the Dr. Yu were very approachable and patient in answering all of my questions. Since I didn't improve on maximal medical management, I decided to move forth with an IN-OFFICE Sinus procedure called Balloon Sinuplasty. Procedure went smooth and I was comfortable throughout, and the results have been life-changing. Because I do have a high deductible insurance, my portion of the payment for the procedure was quite a bit, but well worth every cent of her expertise!!! I see some other low star reviews on Yelp, and it seems that a lot of them have had good results but were not happy with the price point. Dr Yu has been very reasonable in negotiating my balance with me, and I'm highly appreciative of that consideration given these difficult COVID. Of note during my research, she was one of the only Sinus Surgeons in Orange County that has the capacity to continue performing in office sinus procedures as she as not as dependent on hospital services for admission. Go OCEANN, Rock on! read more

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! read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr K. Yu. Honestly the most thorough, present, confident/competent Dr I've ever been to. Dr Yu genuinely cares and it's evident. Dr Yu has a zest to assist and help a patient navigate through medical issues. She is a problem solver, she's very present and actually listens. read more

The best ENT I've ever seen. For years various docs would do scope and steroid sprays and nothing ever worked. She was the first doc to run imaging and a full work up including meds and a nasal rinse that works SO much better than the salt water rinses from the store. One month later and I'm feeling the best I've felt in YEARS. I can breathe. Not perfect but less swelling and symptoms. She's a phenomenal doc. read more

Dr Yu-Syken is amazing. After years of dealing with sinus issues and always being sick. She knew the problem and fix. Fast forward 6 years, started having minor sinus issues and got worried that my turbinates grew back. I arrive 20 mins early, waited maybe 15 mins. She came in with a big hug. Turns out to be a really bad sinus infection. She even waited with my 4 year old outside the room while I had a CT scan. I've seen a lot of doctors over the years. I will always wait for Dr Yu, she's good at what she does!!!! read more

A huge shout out to the OCEANN ENT Staff. Not only is Dr. Yu-Syken a great ENT specialist, her staff is awesome. I came down with a sinus infection last weekend and had trouble breathing. I called her office, and her appointments were booked solid. But, because I am already one of her patients, her staff had Dr. John Vincent (one of Yu-Syken's assistants) called me rather quickly. I explained the situation and he perscribed antibiotics and steroids right away. It's been three days and I already feel a lot better. Thank you all! Keep up the great work!! read more

I had the Balloon Sinuplasty & Eustation Tube procedure and it was fantastic. The procedure is virtually painless and Dr Yu-Syken even let's you watch the live procedure on a TV screen which is great. Very little downtime. It totally opened my left ear fullness that I had for decades and can even breathe much better! I can now "pop" my left ear open which I never could before! Highly recommend! read more

Here are points from Dr. Yu-Syken's (YS) December 17, 2020 response to my revised review, followed by my answers to her comments. My answers start with a ' - ' --- YS: It is unfortunate you did not have a positive experience like the other patients who have visited our clinic. - I've read your reviews. Other patients have had poor experiences at your clinic. Other patients mention difficulty reaching you, or your staff, by phone. YS: My Associate John Vincent had answered your call promptly on 11/2/2020, as documented in our Electronic Medical Records. - I did not receive his call. Most of the many calls I placed to your practice, during business hours, went to an answering service. YS: It is unlikely I had offered you surgery ... - As stated in my two previous Yelp reviews, you were absent, the day of my appointment. It was your associate, John Vincent, who saw me and promoted the surgeries. YS: Our goal is to make sure our patients are well taken care of so please contact us at (714) 375-4224 and we will try our best to help you in any way we can. Maybe we can process an appeal to your insurance for another visit. Take good care and stay healthy! - Thanks for your concern, and for waiving the full cost of my appointment due to the 'distress and confusion' that it and billing errors caused, UNTIL my revised Yelp review was published. Then you reversed course and billed me $102.97 for the same (one and only) office visit you had just waived all the charges for. I have upgraded the stars from one to two, however, because although you reversed the waiver of payment responsibility you had promised me, at least I am not being billed $875 for my office visit, the original amount I had been informed that I owed. read more

Don't bother going here. The assistants will be doing the exams. They don't have video for the endoscopy to clearly explain anything. Always get a second diagnosis from professional doctors who actually see their patients. read more

Dr. Yu- Syken is very good WHEN you can be lucky enough to get to see her. Mostly you can expect to be seen by the PA's which are good for routine exams. In my experience the service of the staff has slipped significantly. It's very difficult to find time during the day to have to call a medical office, be placed on hold, only to find out that you need to call back AGAIN because they did not follow up on the concern in the first call. I've place 2 calls to get 2 prescriptions sent in over the last 3 weeks. In another instance, after a PA visit, I had to wait one week for a prescription to get called in for a sinus infection. I was miserable and I had to call then as well. The service here is mediocre at best. When you're not feeling well, and you have to wait a week for meds, that's not great. My pharmacist said they sent multiple requests with no response which is why I had to call myself. Oh, and the best part: they explain how busy they've been when you complain about nothing being followed through on. read more

Dr Yu and her staff at Ocean ENT are so amazing and kind. I had many years of sinus infections that would lead to ear infections which would turn into vertigo. It's was awful! Dr Yu solved all of that by doing the balloon surgery to open up my sinuses so they could drain. She also had me checked for sleep apnea and she also helped me with that. She is very knowledgeable and helpful. I'm so grateful to be able to get my life back with her help and some great nutrition that she can tell you about as well. read more

I wasn't rushed everything was explain to me thoroughly. I was treated with such respect. I didn't have to wait long as a new patient. I was very impressed with the doctor and her team. I highly recommend this practice . They have state of the art equipment and you receive your results immediately read more

Where do I start? Dr. Yu-Syken worked wonders from the consultation to the post op visits. I was aware of everything that was going to happen with my sinus surgery to recovery. She also took the time to listen to me and be very throughout with the examinations. Also gave me some really neat insight about everything ENT. With that said, her practice wouldn't be as successful if it weren't for her amazing, sweet team. Shout out to Antoinette who always had a smile on her. :) Thank you all! read more

Dr. Yu is fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable and skilled in her craft. I was sincerely impressed with her diagnostic and surgical expertise. I had surgery done on my nose and can now breathe and sleep better than I have in years. She is extremely caring and shows all her patients compation along with top notch medical care. She always explains things thoroughly, and takes time for each and every patient. You never feel rushed like at some other medical offices. The office is clean and equipped with all of the state of the art equipment you would expect at a first rate facility. Pairing with Dr. Yu is her wonderful staff who are so friendly and professional. They make scheduling appointments and the general medical care experience as pleasant and comfortable as any Doctor's office I have visited. I would highly recommend OCEANN to anyone and have recommended them already on many occasions. read more

I love Dr. Yu! She is amazing. She took care of me years ago with my sinus and allergy problems. I ended up having surgery and she really took the time to figure out what needed to be done. Anytime you need her she's there! Now.. years later I reached out as I've had congestion and ear blockage for over a month! She instantly took charge to find solutions to these issues. She did tests in her office, sent me to a hearing doctor for more tests. I came out and was very upset since my right ear has hearing damage and texted her the info! She instantly called me and talked me off the ledge.. I felt so scared and exhausted from this and her voice and words to me calmed me down! I can't tell you how amazing she is.. and sincerely goes the extra mile for her patients I'm very thankful to have her to go to and I will refer her to all my friends and family!! Go see her you will not be disappointed! read more

I would definitely recommend Oceann ENT ! I had a severe sinus issue that required surgery. Dr Yu Syken did an amazing job with assessing and coming up with a treatment. And now I finally have quality sleep at night. All the staff were so kind and professional. Thanks again so very much. read more

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! After years of having a nose ring embedded Kathy and John were able to successfully and painlessly remove it and even dealt with me being a big baby about it very patiently and professionally. It has changed my life and I'm so gratefully so the awesome staff here! read more

After a follow up visit, to include some imaging that likely costs my insurance a ton of money; I was met with your textbook diagnostic flowchart of more medications and see-me-in-a-month appointment. The PA also used the same scripted response THREE TIMES: "Are you happy with your visit and do you understand what we discussed today?" I'm sorry but this isn't an ENT clinic designed to solve problems but rather is designed to extract resources from your insurance provider. I would implore those considering a visit here to find a location where the medical professionals understand human pathology and get excited to solve your mysteries. I'd also suggest your PA smile less and read more.

Called almost 50 ENT in the area to try to get an appointment, the closest one was 3weeks away, I even called a place where they advertised appointments within 24hrs. I called this practice and I was able to get a same day appointment. Jennifer was amazing and helped me get an appointment the same day and even helped me verify the fees with my insurance. Dr. Yu was very professional and yet approachable. All the ladies in this practice are AMAZING! read more

Dr Yu and her staff are wonderful. I had an in office procedure on nasal polyps that have been causing me breathing problems for years. Now I can breathe and sleep better than I have in years, finally I can quit the cycle of steroids. Dr Yu was able to make the procedure painless and has done a great job following up and monitoring my condition. Everyone in the office treated me so nice and respectful. Thank you Dr Yu, you have improved the quality of my life John B Huntington Beach read more

I had an in-office ballon sinus procedure done to open up my sinuses after having sinus infections year after year. I was pleasantly surprised on how painless it was. I had heard horror stories from family members of their past surgeries at other offices and this new technology is just amazing. No sinus packing to be removed, Dr. Yu just suctioned out some gel about a week later. I would definitely recommend Dr. Yu. She and her staff are great!! read more

Go here if you want: people that never follow up with you, long wait times and appointments months in advance. They are also using an inefficient paper trail system and seem to never be able to find out anything and can't even fax doctor orders to the imaging center. The doctor is also extremely rushed and doesn't care but that's nothing new of doctors in general. read more

First off, I just wanted to commend the brave providers and support staff at OCEANN ENT for providing access to appropriate medical and surgical care for sinus and ENT patients during this precarious time. I am a healthcare provider myself and know how difficult it has been for all my colleagues during the added challenge of having to operate safely during the pandemic. I am impressed by the additional precautions the practice has taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19. I was lucky enough to have improved on my extended antibiotic course Dr. Yu prescribed and am feeling much more energetic with reduced sinus headaches. My colleague who referred me to Dr. Yu had needed surgery- Dr. Yu performed her In-Office Balloon Sinuplasty, and I saw how much better she felt and performed after the efficient management of her sinus condition. I'm not quite sure why there are some low star reviews but I would definitely redirect my attention to Reviews of Dr. Yu's practice OCEANN ENT on Google as it seems like a much more realistic representation of how this practice runs. Dr. Yu gives 110% of her effort to her patients and her practice and so does her PA John Vincent! I'm definitely proof of that! Prices seemed reasonable to me for the quality of care that is delivered, but that could depend on an individual's insurance responsibilities such as copays and deductibles as well. read more
