When we moved to the Monterey Bay, a huge concern was finding the best Otolaryngology doctor. We…read moredid just that when I was referred to Dr. Joel Jacobson. I have ongoing challenges with my sinuses which include several surgeries in the 80's. When we arrived at this very well run office I was greeted immediately and assisted to complete the necessary history and insurance information. Dr Jacobson was warm, friendly and professional from the first moment we met with him. He took my involved history and addressed my medical situation with skill and concern for my comfort. Because of the complicated sinus problems we knew surgery was likely going to be advised. A revision to the 1980's approach was critical to my being able to breathe and smell and function without ongoing infection, headaches and malaise. All treatment approaches were detailed and questions answered with thoroughness and patience. We chose to have the surgery asap and all arrangements were expedited. The operation was skillfully completed and recovery was smooth as expected. Dr Jacobson is my new best "go to" sinus doctor. Luckily, I have not needed him as I am able to breathe and sleep and not be ill with sinus infections!! I highly recommend Dr Joel Jacobson for the care of your sinus health. He really does care about his patients and is devoted to his profession. Do not put it off...you will feel and breathe so much better!!!

Do not waste your time here--they have absolutely no respect for patients…read more I had a scheduled appointment at 9:00 AM at Central Coast Head and Neck. An hour and a half later, I was still sitting in the waiting room. I asked the front desk twice if there was an issue with my appointment, and both times I was brushed off with, "You're the next one." After waiting for 90 minutes with zero progress, I finally had to walk out. The lack of care and basic communication here is deeply disappointing. For a healthcare provider, they make you feel completely invisible. Compassion and respect for a patient's time should be a core value, but it's clear they do not care about you at all. Avoid this place if you want to be treated like a human being. Not even a start!

He assessed the damage in a way that felt skillful and i left with a clear plan for healing. Also appreciate that their office takes Medicare -- in Santa Cruz County no doctors with this specialty do (for the kind of evaluation i needed). His humor is quirky, but in a way i can appreciate. :o) indeed the office was super busy (three doctors in office treating patients) but staff was professional. We asked for a copy of the notes for the visit. Maybe they'll be filled out more later, because notes were minimal with some minor inaccuracies.

My son was struggling with long lasting cough, and went through sinusitis treatment with other ENT. When we asked Dr.Luk for a second opinion, she suggested that asthma and allergies could be the cause. Her guess was proved correct later by an allergist who diagnosed my son with both symptoms. My son liked Dr.Luk because she talked with him as if she was his caring big sister. I strongly recommend Dr. Luk.
