    I am immensely grateful to Dr. Yeung and his team for the life-changing surgery I underwent almost three months ago. Suffering from chronic sinus issues and allergies, I reached a breaking point with severe sinus headaches and pressure during flights on airplanes. Dr. Yeung's precise diagnosis and thorough preoperative assessment assured me of his expertise. As a fellow physician, I chose his care based on numerous recommendations from medical professionals and family friends.

    The success of my septoplasty, turbinate reduction, and functional endoscopic sinus surgery has significantly improved my quality of life. Breathing effortlessly through both nostrils, even during a recent cold, brought immense relief. Dr. Yeung's surgical skill goes beyond just resecting tissue; he enhances functional outcomes by improving sinus anatomy and is a leader in the field.

    Postoperative care was exceptional, with Dr. Yeung and his team, especially Chelsea, his nurse, providing valuable reassurance and guidance throughout my recovery. While the first post-operative week was uncomfortable, I still encountered minimal to no pain during this time fortunately, and it was well worth the noticeable improvement in congestion I had afterwards. He has a time-tested plan to help patient's recover faster and he regularly checked on me every 1-2 weeks post-operatively.

    I extend my sincere thanks to Dr. Yeung for his exceptional care and transformative results!

    Great friendly and knowledgeable staff. Went to doctor Yeung to fix a deviated septum. Dr. Yeung has a great sense of humor, is very professional and attentive. Although the 3 day post surgery is very painful, it is totally worth it and life changing. I am finally able to sleep all night without any sinuses issues. I'll totally recommend Dr. Yeung! Great experience!

    For years I thought all my respiratory problems were just extreme allergies. I visited allergists, GPs, ENTs...with little relief. After a solid 6 months of antibiotics for ear infections, sinusitis & pneumonia I screamed for help. Dr. Yeung's MRI showed total blockage of my sinus cavity on the right & left side. Surgery was necessary & it uncovered that I had a sinus fungal infection...possibly for decades. YIKES!! Recovery wasn't pleasant ... it's surgery...I just kept thinking about getting healthy! BUT, HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS. (1) I breathe better than ever. (2) This allergy season - NO issues, no headaches... even with yellow pollen covering everything. (3) My snoring is gone that I've had since childhood.

    The staff are amazing, professional & friendly. Dr. Yeung is fantastic & a great surgeon. I say, "Pick up the phone & call them now if you want relief."

    Dr. Yeung is the Best. Don't even try to disprove the statement, cause I would mop the floor with you if you tried.

    He is very direct, don't be intimidated. He's a doctor that wants to get to the root cause so he can fix the problem. I had read that the avg surgery redo rate is 30% in this field. His is less than 1%. Need surgery? Get it done by him.

    Also, Dawn, Ruhi and everyone else in that office was so patient, understanding, and sweet with me. Actually Dawn went above and beyond in helping me with organizing my surgery. It really means a lot to me. Thank you so much Dawn, you're Awesome!

    I had gone to an ENT before and they told me I had a deviated septum. They prescribed me stuff. Nothing helped. Then I just lived with headaches and feeling like I couldn't breathe enough air. I got tired of it and went to visit Dr. Yeung. It was the best decision to make. He actually cared enough to see why I wasn't breathing. He quickly diagnosed the issue (It was more than just a deviated septum). He made a recommendation for surgery and I said "ok". Now I can actually feel the air through my nostrils entering my body. It is one of the greatest sensations to me. I used to be a long distance runner and my focus on my breathe was always key for running miles without stopping, so I am extremely excited to be able to have this breathing sensation again.

    I'm Already feeling Yeung-er! ????

    I had my sinus surgery 8 years ago to the month, in Oct 2013, and have been berating myself for not writing a review for so long, when the surgery seriously changed my life for the better. As I finally forced myself on this 8th anniversary to write what I expected to be a unique very good review, but started reading some here first, and was in amazement that so many others had already written the good things I planned to write.

    I saw my sinus scan result, ordered and done elsewhere after my first visit with Dr Yeung, and in layman’s terms, my sinus area directly above the nose in forehead area, was inferior- totally plugged. My area below the eyes, in cheeks was fine. So, I would have a partially or mostly plugged up nose to try to breathe out of often, especially at allergy time, or if I got a cold/sinus infection, which I got often. And those sinus infections got worse and more frequent as I got older (I’m now 61), and it would drip down my throat and into my lungs, giving me a lung infection, almost like a light pneumonia, repeatedly. By the time I was 50, I knew how I would die- from a pneumonia type lung infection, caused from drippy sinus infections.

    Thank God I moved to Houston, Texas in 2012, finding Dr Cecil Yeung. He reamed out my upper sinus area good, and checked it over weekly and then every 2 weeks for a couple months or so, and I’ve never had the problems I did have. I don’t even recall having much of a cold since, and used to yearly get them, though I did get a lengthy 2 month COVID19 infection right in the beginning of the pandemic in early 2020, but didn’t get seriously ill, just a lingering small lung infection, that briefly started in the sinus. I could always breathe though.

    Since my surgery, I have continued almost once daily, rinsing my sinus though, with that bottle you buy for after the surgery, and I just add a small amount of salt in water and microwave heat it up and let it cool somewhat before using. It does help rinse any starting globs of snottiness out if they form, which are usually still mostly clear colored now, but used to always be yellow infections before the surgery.

    So, here is to our hero, Dr. Yeung, who apparently has saved so many so much misery, and certainly added lengths to lives,

    so has saved lives! Stay happy and humble Doctor, so you can be praised as one of the few excellent guys, and few doctors that can be respected completely.

    So few others even do their job well.
