Christopher Yian, MD

This doctors office knocked my socks off. Fast efficient friendly. Got referral for MRI and hearing test within an hour of my visit. Highly recommended forfeit sky informative personal service!

We’ve been taking our daughter to Dr Yian for 2 years now. He’s always been great with her during the visits and is always very informative when we would ask questions. Great Doctor!

I saw this Doctor for chronic tinnitus at the Irvine office. The office is nice, staff is friendly, Doctor was incredibly rude. I would never recommend him. Very cold and impatient and offered me no help.

Went to him. He spent less than 5 minutes and diagnosed I have throat infection which now I found out that it was Thyroid issue!

During my first visit to Dr. Yian, he was flippant and had quite a negative bedside manner. He checked on my ear for a few seconds, didn’t explain to me what he was going to do but proceeded to spray a substance into my ear (I had to ask what he was doing to me), and then told me I should come in for a follow-​up in a couple weeks. I scheduled an appointment at their Irvine office, even though I knew I would be living in LA at that point. I even tried to reschedule in advance when I knew there might be some holiday traffic on my way down on the only day I could really get an appointment.
I first notified the office that I would be 20 minutes late due to unexpected traffic about an hour before my scheduled appointment. The staff said it would be fine as long as I got there no more than 30 minutes late, as Dr. Yian had hospital rounds to do at 1pm. Fine. Understandable. Then, after I had already pushed to drive down in time, I get another call saying Dr. Yian would have to go to the hospital if I couldn’t be less than 15 minutes late. I’m already in North Orange County at this point, and this would be impossible. They offered to reschedule, but their rescheduling options were very unaccommodating, especially since they knew I lived in LA and would have to commute yet again. There was very little concern for the «care» he was supposed to give me in a short minute appointment. Even if I were to have arrived on time, he wouldn’t have given me ample consultation time, as he was clearly expecting to be able to leave when he wanted. Instead, I was punished for being late due to holiday traffic that I warned them about.
Even when I tried to call back after I cancelled my follow-​up, the staff had already left the office.
Dr. Yian does not care about his patients, and I would highly advise anyone to avoid his office at all costs. The negative reviews are there for a very good reason, and their hours posted here are obviously phony.

Don’t Go! Read the other reviews with 1 or 2 stars. They are right. Christopher Yian is Not a good ENT. He was very fast and completely preoccupied while in the room with me. He hardly listened to what I was telling him, I have frequent Migraine pain and was referred to him from my doctor Dr. Chen (Irvine). I truly believe that this office of ENT’s are in it for financial gain and have no interest in the patients that they see. (Dr. Paul Sun, Dr. John Sun & Dr. Christopher Yian).
They are a patient mill and have no interest in being involved or helping people with their medical needs. Sad b/​c I read their Bio’s and seem like very intelligent, skilled doctors.

Amazing doctor. Very thourough and easy to get in contact with if you have any questions. Great staff all around best doctor experience i have ever had.

They told me to arrive early because I was a new patient. I’ve been waiting for over an hour in the waiting room! I have no idea the quality of their service but this is not a good first impression.

Excellent doctor! he takes the time to listen and understand your issues. I’ve been going to him for 10 years now and would not change for anyone else. He’s knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I typically go to the Irvine office though. I haven’t been to his Laguna Hills office.

My daughter’s pediatrician recommended that we find an ENT to clip our daughters lip-​tie and tongue-​tie as she was unable to nurse at 10 weeks old. We took her into this office and the doctor used no tools and looked inside her mouth and said that she didnt have either. We were dumbfounded and shared that our pediatrician and two lactation consultants confirmed that she did, he said he would not clip it because it wasn’t there and he charged us 150 bucks for 5 minutes. We got a second opinion and James T Jesse in San Bernadino told us that she had «severe» lip tie and «moderate» tongue tie and that both needed to be removed immediately. We did so and when I contacted Dr. Yians office and told them they told us that it was simply the doctors opinion and that they would not refund us for 150 dollars for 5 minutes of no medical consultation. These people were rude and a word of advice that we wish we would’ve received, you can get a «FREE CONSULTATION» at lots of other ENT’s in the area. Don’t waste your time or money!

Great Ent I had a rare condition called eagles syndrome, Dr Yian preformed the rare surgery which I had a lot of problem just finding a Ent with a knowledge in the area. Called the office with a question, 2 years after surgery Dr Yian called me back that day, saw 7 Ent during the 10 years I was searching for a diagnoses Dr Yian topped them all.

Dr Yian operated on my 92 year old mother who could no longer take solids or liquids. Mom was in poor health, but we had no option. Dr Yian did great surgery on her. She has made a full recovery, and now is eating «real» food, the first time in 2 years.

I had two surgeries performed by Dr. Yian. He’s a great guy, he’s not all old and stuffy. He’s younger, and up to speed on current techniques. He provided me with great care, took the time to reach out to me personally any time I called and overall I had great results with him.
