David K Yun, MD

2÷4÷16
I had a second surgery back in October 2015 performed by Dr. Wrobel. It took a little longer to regain my sense of taste and smell, but there has been progress. I started to get sick around Thanksgiving and lost my sense of taste and smell for a few days, but regained it after taking Zicam for a few days and nipping the cold in the bud. I got really sick in early December. Luckily I had an appointment with Dr. Wrobel the first day of my cold. She went up there with her «tweezers of torture,» cleaned everything out and prescribed an antibiotic and steroid. This helped. However, I lost my sense of taste and smell again the week of Christmas. I had no idea why. I continued to rinse with the anti inflammatory rinse. I finally figured it out around mid January, when I started taking Zyrtec, along with the Claritin. Basically, I need to stop/​treat anything that causes inflammation, whether it’s a cold or allergies… that’s my new normal. If I catch a cold… tweezers of torture and medication and then regular medications for allergies.

Beware, doctor charges a hefty price for completing disability claim forms and medical certificates. In my opinion, it is unethical.

The man listened and explained everything in detail. Very patient and didn’t make you feel rushed. I would recommend this man for anyone who needs an ENT.

My elderly father who just turned 79 today visited your office last week. He was deeply offended by the comment Dr. YUN shared with him. «If you live 5 more years. Come back and see me.» This statement completely undermines your mission statement you say you believe, «to care for patients in an environment that nurtures dignity and respect;» his treatment was far from feeling dignified nor respected. I strongly urge you to consider a different Dr. If you are seeking health CARE. Don’t go to Dr. YUN!!!

Dr Yun was very pleasant. I didn’t have to wait a long time to see him. His office seems very efficient. He took his time with me and I didn’t feel «rushed».

My experience with the office and Dr. Yun was great. The office staff is friendly, efficient, and helpful. Dr. Yun has a great energy about him and it’s visible that he’s passionate about his field. I would definitely recommend Dr. Yun!
I actually went in for a lump on my neck and after my exam he said how are your ears — lemme clean them out since you’re here!
It was cute — I could tell the guy was excited about ENT!

David Yun has a wonderful bedside manner. My son had swollen glands and was completely miserable today when we visited Dr. Yun. David pinpointed exactly what was wrong. It has only been 6 hours since we saw him and my son is laughing and feeling so much better.
Thank you David!!!

I have no idea if Dr Yun is any good or not. I made an appointment (or thought I did) using ZocDoc. My appointment was scheduled for today, so I called the office to confirm. I was to told that there are no appointments scheduled for today since it is Dr Yun’s «surgery day». The receptionist placed me on hold while she checked through the appointments. Without coming back on the line, she transferred my call to someone’s voicemail. I called back thinking that that was in error. I was then told that I would be transferred to Tiffany’s voicemail would handles the booking of ZocDoc appointments. I left a voicemail for Tiffany, but received no return phone call. I called Dr Yun’s office again and was transferred to the office manager. She confirmed that there was no ZocDoc appointment scheduled and that I needed to contact them to reschedule. (Yeah, that really worked well the first time!). When I told her that I WOULD NOT be using ZocDoc again, she informed me that the soonest appointment was 2−½ weeks away. (Funny how ZocDoc shows there is an 11:00 am appointment for tommorrow, yet Dr Yun’s office doesn’t have one for 2−½ more weeks???
I’m puzzled about Doreen’s comment «The office staff is very efficient, courteous, and helpful». I found the complete opposite.
Anybody out there who knows of a good ENT with a competent office staff? I’m in the market.

Although they could not see me at this location as a walk-​in the receptionist did schedule an appt for me at the pasadena office in the afternoon today.

My ear was hurting really bad. I thought I had an ear infection so I wanted to see an ENT doctor ASAP (it was Thursday), the receptionist I talked to (when I made the app.) said that I can see someone right away (next day) if I come to Pasadena office (which is too far for me). When I told her I can only come to the Glendale location, she said Dr. Carroll is booked for next couple days but I can see Dr. Yun on monday.
I made an app. for Monday morning and showed up to the Glendale office and they told me I am mistaken and my app. is on Tuesday not Monday. What?! Not only that they were not apologetic they were super rude and accused me for making the mistake!
I explained that I can’t be mistaken because I was debating on going to another ENT office on Monday but that app. was only available for the afternoons and that’s why I came to see Dr. Yun, for the morning app. If the receptionist told me Tuesday, I would have went to another office for the afternoon app. on Monday for sure. I wanted to see a doctor ASAP! What the heck. I came all day way from downtown and they told me that there is nothing they can do and next app. they might have available for me is in 2.5 hours (at this point I already waited a half hour).
They were not even nice when they were telling me this, they were extremely rude! They told me Dr. Yun is at the Pasadena office on Monday mornings, and I must have made an app. for that office. I told them there is no way I would have made an app. for Pasadena office, it’s too far and that is why I didn’t take that Friday app. But they weren’t even listening. Obviously, someone got confused and they were sure it was me.
If they were at least apologetic about the whole thing, I wouldn’t hold it against them. People do make mistakes! But if you don’t own up to your mistakes but rather turn it around on the patients and be rude to them when they are in pain, that sure is the best way to get rid of them!
I am really disappointed that these receptionists have no professionalism and they are mean and plain rude. I like Dr. Carroll and I might have liked Dr. Yun but I am never coming back here.

Saw Yun a couple of weeks ago because my HMO insurance sent me there. Big mistake. I was told by my primary doctor that I could have chronic sinusitis. Well, Yun went against that. Ive been having trouble breathing and taking deep breaths. But Yun felt that nothing was wrong with me and I might have lung issues and to set up an appointment with a lung specialist. He was very rude and care less about my complaint. He said, it all could just be a mental problem. REALLY, mental? I think hes mental and needs help. I told him that my throat feels really dry. But his answer was «well, we DO live in California and its dry, so do what we all do and drink plenty of water. Really? That’s you resolution to my problem. At this time, I figured this jackass was not going to figure my problem out and probably had better things to do. will never go back to see this jerk. Peace!

impacted ear wax here (hear?)…Irrigating the ear didn’t help, so the good people at Lakeside Medical/​Glendale Memorial referred me to Dr Yun. I called Monday and got an appointment for Wednesday for 10:40. I saw the doctor by 11:00 and was out the door with a clean ear by around 11:20. He was courteous, reassuring, and pleasant. The office is modern and clean with the usual terrible selection of magazines. The staff was efficient and helpful. NO complaints from me…
The only bad part: the parking is a nightmare. Is everyone going to Glendale Adventist? It took me awhile to find a space in the labyrinth of a parking structure and then it’s two different elevators to the office.

I thought Dr. Yun was really nice. He took the time to listen to my concerns. Did not rush me at all. I left feeling comfortable & will be having my tonsillectomy next month.

My experience with Dr. Yun was pretty simple. I called and asked if I could have an appt. to irrigate my ears, specifically. The exact words were «I would like to make an appt. with Dr. Yun to have my ears irrigated please.» The nurse/​assistant/​whatever said «Fine, come in friday morning».
I come in Friday morning and are told by the Doctor that 1.) I do not need my ears cleaned out and 2.) they do not do irrigation at all, ever — and do not have the tools to do it.
Dr. Yun offered a refund for my co pay back and I took it. What a complete waste of time — maybe his staff should actually listen to what someone says when they call for an appointment.

Was on his cell phone texting or something during the appointment and it wasn’t about the patient; makes you feel like he has better things to do; unprofessional as a physician. Was forced to go there by my insurance plan or I would go elsewhere. After reading other reviews I can sympathize with the negative ones.

This review is 1 ½ years post surgery. I battled my regular doctor for two years who kept saying I had rhinitus and allergies. This never felt right to me since I have never had a problem with allergies. He kept recommending anti-​biotics and sprays which did no good. I got to a point where I could not breath. I finally got to see an ENT.
My experience with Dr. Yun is one of the BEST in my lifetime of seeing doctors. He immediately recognized I had polyps and a deviated septum which were confirmed by ct-​scan. I had the sinus surgery and discovered what it feels like to breath again. Prior to surgery, I was constantly getting colds and sinus infections. Post surgery, I did not get sick for over year.
During this process, I never had to wait more than 10 minutes for my appointment. Dr. Yun also returned my phone calls the same day or by noon the next day. He took whatever time I needed to discuss the issues, my questions and apprehensions.
I’ve seen a lot of doctors in my lifetime and my experience with Dr. Yun has been excellent!

I saw Dr. Yun since I was having ear problems and it was one of the WORST experiences ever. He was condescending and rude. He proceeded to perform a procedure on me without telling me what would happen afterwards (i.e. dizziness) and I was disgusted. Don’t EVER go to him or his associates. I feel a majority of the doctors/​specialists affiliated with Lakeside Medical Associates are inept and unethical.

I have only recently been a patient of Dr. Yun. I have had severe allergies for years. Through the years, they have been getting worse. When I travel up to higher elevations, my right side of my sinus cavity would go copletely numb, and very painful. Dr. Yun suggested that I have a CT scan done to find the problem. He discovered that my whole right side of my sinus cavity was 90 percent blocked with polyups. He suggested that I have the Endoscopic Sinus Sergery. It has been six months now. WOW. This procedure has totally changed my life. I used to have maybe one day a month that I could breathe properly. Now I can breathe all the time, and I have not been sick. When other people around me, suffer from allergy season now, I am usually fine.
Dr. Yun is an amazing doctor. He really cares about his patients. He is always friendly. He is very helpful with any questions or concerns that you may have. Once I had to call his office shortly after having the surgery. I was having an elergic reaction to a pain med that was prescribed. It was late at night, so I called the on call doctor. He answered the phone himself. I was so impressed! Dr. Yun, and his partner have all of their calls fowarded to them personally after business hours. It is really hard to find that kind of quality service these days.

Dr. Yun has been my ENT for years and has seen me suffer through chronic sinusitis. He recommended endoscopic sinus surgery years back, but I was too chicken to do it. This summer, however, I had a terrible sinus infection that would not clear up with antibiotics or other remedies. Dr. Yun ordered a CT scan of my sinuses which showed a complete blockage on my right side. Due to the severity and nature of the infection (fungal), surgery was the only option. I’m writing this review 2 days post-​op and just have to rave about Dr. Yun’s skill, knowledge, and ability to heal. He mentally prepared me for what to expect with the FESS procedure and I felt very informed going into the surgery. Dr. Yun is very confident and kind. My surgery went very well and my recovery is better than expected. He practices out of both the Glendale and Pasadena area. Highly recommend him for all your ENT issues.
