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

Great Staff. Great Doctor.

Great staff. Great Doctor — Had tonsils removed. Could not have asked for a better experience.

My Experience Was Excellent

I was referred to Dr. Sam Bailey by my Primary Care Physician. My experience was excellent from making an appointment to being treated by Dr. Bailey.

The scheduler recommended I go to their website to print out the forms they need, so I could fill them out at my convenience instead of rushing through them in their waiting room.

When I came into Dr. Bailey’s ENT doctors office for my scheduled appointment, I was greeted very warmly and given two forms to sign. I was told there was an emergency and there would be a half hour delay in seeing the doctor.

At least three different people apologized for the delay during my office visit. Dr. Bailey, after apologizing for his delay, explained my problem and provided care for my issue very quickly. I will return if I have future need. By the way, the office is really nice.

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. Chris Lykins Took the Extra Time

Phoenix ENT Patient Review from Paul O.

I saw Dr. Lykins and thought he was very professional. Dr. Chris Lykins took the extra time needed to answer any questions and he was very friendly – he also took the time to check up on me at the hospital the day after my surgery.

The scar left after my surgery with Dr. Lykins was very small and other medical professionals have commented on how good it looks.

Their helpful ENT office offers new patient forms right on their website, so you can fill out prior to your visit – which is great way to save time.

The biggest surprise was the refund I received because I was overcharged for my surgery. The office probably could have kept the amount which was over $100 and I wouldn’t have known.

Dr. Chris Lykins is one of the finest doctors I have dealt with. He took on a problem with a growth in my nose that no one else would deal with. Because of my heart condition the growth had to be removed under local anesthesia. He saw the problem, scheduled the surgery and removed the growth (which turned out to be cancer). I had been dealing with this painful problem for over 6 months. It is absolutely worth any distance to travel to get this type of excellent treatment.
