ENT Doctor Ratings & Reviews: What Our Patients Have to Say About Our Care

Dr. Bailey Made My Quality of Life So Much Better

Dr. Bailey has been my ENT for at least 8 years for three different issues.

He has performed surgery, prescribed my CPAP and treated my sinus and throat issues. All of which have made my quality of life so much better. His office is very tasteful and the staff is super friendly.

Most important is that I feel he genuinely cares about my well being.

Dr. Lykins’ Bedside Manner is the Best I Have Ever Experienced!

I recently moved to the Scottsdale, AZ area and during the move took a fall, which subsequently led to being diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My experience with Dr. Lykins and his staff has been phenomenal!

I was seen right away and the testing, diagnosis and surgery was seamless. Additionally, my scar after only five weeks, is almost invisible!!! It’s the envy of several of my friends who have surgery scars 🙂

Dr. Lykins bedside manner is the best I have ever experienced! This condition also led to an FMLA situation for my husband who was deployed to Afghanistan and Stephanie, Dr. Lykins’ nurse, completed the requisite paperwork quickly and efficiently without so much of a follow up phone call needed. I can recommend Dr. Lykins and his staff without hesitation and if given the opportunity would not change a thing regarding my experience. They made an unfortunate and scary situation a breeze for me and my family to deal with.

Dr. Bailey is very knowledgeable.

Dr. Bailey is very knowledgeable. He explains things in terms that make sense to the patient. He listens and does not rush you out. Dr. Bailey uses his best judgement and does not do anything unnecessary when working on a procedure for his patients. I recommend Dr. Bailey, to anyone searching for a great professional doctor.

Dr. Lykins Is Extremely Thorough

Phoenix ENT Patient Review from Kelly V.

I’ve known Dr. Christopher Lykins socially for several years.  When my Allergist told me I needed to see a ENT doctor and that surgery on my head or neck was probably inevitable – I broke my rule of not hiring friends for care or services.

Dr. Lykins was extremely thorough – walking me through my CT scans to show me what was going on. He also took the time to share important details to help me understand what my surgery would entail and what I could expect as I recover from surgery.

Dr. Lykins and his helpful staff were able to schedule my surgery relatively quickly – which was a relief, because I was required to continue antibiotics until I could get this particular ENT procedure done.

My surgery was yesterday, and as far as I can tell – it went great.  My post-surgery pain levels are surprisingly low (about what it was pre-surgery – which is exactly what Dr. Lykins said I could expect.

It’s too soon to tell how successful this will be in addressing the chronic ENT illness issues I have had for a long time, but all in all, the overall patient experience was great.  I would highly recommend Dr. Lykins and his staff for their expert ear, nose, and throat medical care.

Dr. Lykins receives my highest accolades.

On meeting Dr. Lykins for the first time – he was extremely knowledgeable, thorough in explaining the issue and treatment options, all the while answering any questions and making me feel very comfortable. Never did I feel rushed.

Dr. Lykins is very skilled surgeon. He performed a hemi-thyroidectomy on me and the incision site is barely visible. Since Dr. Lykins is also a board certified Plastic Surgeon, that should come as no surprise.

It was easy to get an appointment and Dr. Lykins should pride himself on running on time without keeping you waiting. In addition, all the office personnel that I interacted with, either in person or over the phone, were courteous, helpful and prompt in returning phone calls if necessary. I am so impressed with Dr Lykins and his office staff that I have already referred a relative to his practice and would recommend that others seek out his expertise as well.
