Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent And Calming
It’s never a good day when you have to make that dreaded appointment to a colorectal surgeon. But beginning with his amazing and lovely staff the appointment just gave so much hope! He has a calm demeanor and just radiates warmth, I had already scheduled multiple surgeons and now I am canceling the rest. No need to look further, I highly recommend!

Dr Syn, besides being an expert bowel-treatment doctor, has a very calming manner and facial gestures that make you feel better just being with him. He has given expert care to patients I have referred to him , and to our family. His staff are also very compassionate and make sure you are welcome.

Dr. Syn guided me through the most painful and also most psychologically challenging part of my life that I ever had to endure. He is truly a talented and gifted doctor. And just as importantly, he takes the time to explain all of your options and truly cares about your medical situation and all of the things that you are going through. I am so thankful for Dr. Syn and the guidance and support he gave to me over the course of my treatment. I would highly recommend him.

Patient, clear, and comforting. He explained everything he was doing in a manner that was accessible and I felt comfortable asking questions. Good bedside manner and performed the procedure without any complication.

Went to Dr. Syn's office in Laguna Hills for my hemorrhoid issues. Professional, good communicator, addresses questions and works efficiently. Banding procedures were effective. I highly recommend Dr. Syn because he has helped me to live more comfortably.
