Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent first impression
Visit was right on time. Staff courteous and friendly. Dr. Kuan had excellent bedside manner and made me feel easy and that he really cared and wanted to help solve my problem that had bothered me for more than 20 years. He asked many intelligent questions trying to pinpoint the cause of my problems. I also appreciated his team approach where he recommended that I see two other specialists so they could work together to treat me. Overall, an excellent first impression of Dr. Kuan and his UCI staff.

There aren't enough positive adjectives to express our gratitude to Dr. Kuan & his team for being the first beacon of hope to answer our distress call. We can honestly state that had he not taken such a pro-active approach with [staff name removed] he would not be with us today. Thank you also to the entire staff at UCI Tumor Board, ENT & Head and Neck & the Douglas Hospital staff during and post surgical care teams. His recovery is nothing more than a miraculous gift to our family! Sincerely, The [phi removed] Family

I was very pleased with this visit. It was a second opinion for me and a new visit as a new patient. I was very impressed with how attentive they treated me compared to the other office I went to in mission Viejo. I've already recommended a family memeber to UCI.

I had to wait one and a half hours to see the doctor from the time of my appointment. That was not satisfactory. However, once I saw Dr. Kuan, the appointment went very well. Thank you.

Dr. Kuan was attentive and acknowledge my issue. Rather than dismissing or choosing to "wait and see," he could see that there was a problem and said that we would work together to address it. It was a relief to know that he understood and would work to resolve the issue. He used the camera to look at my sinuses. There was virtually no discomfort and I felt that he did a thorough job exploring the sinuses. My only issue was having to wait 7 weeks for an appointment. (In that time I'd been to urgent care, my primary care doc, a dentist and another ENT that I would not return to see. Had I known how good Dr. Kuan was, I would have just waited the 7 weeks to see him and skipped at least 2 of the other visits.

I am very pleased with Dr. Kuan's treatment! I believe it has been about a year, but what he prescribed was very effective with the 1st use. Happy to say I don't believe I will need that prescription again (hopefully)! Thank you Dr. Kuan for your excellent treatment during the past year!!!
