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

This patient’s nose knows that no pain after sinus surgery is worth a party.

I had a sinus surgery and had no pain after. Surgery on Wednesday and went to a party on Saturday.

I really like Dr. Lykins!

ZocDoc patient review

I have visited Dr. Lykins 2 or 3 times, and he is really kind and friendly. I will have him as my primary doctor for nose / allergy issues. No doubt.

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. Bailey Stopped My Unstoppable Nose Bleed Instead of Just Saying “Go to the Hospital!”

I had a severe nose bleed a few weeks ago. It would not stop! Went to Dr. Bailey’s office. He took me right in knowing I had a problem. He worked on me for almost an hour without complaining and finally got it to stop. He was very calm and never complained about the amount of work involved. Most doctors say “go to the hospital”. The hospital doesn’t know what to do like Dr. Bailey. Wonderful doctor, I would highly recommend as an ENT.

Dr. Lykins Does Give a Darn

Phoenix ENT Patient Review from Connie K.

Dr. Lykins is personable, highly competent and he does give a darn.
