Dr Yu-Syken is great!

Her office  made room in their schedule and was able to take me in when I got something lodged in my ear.  This is a rarity nowadays, and I appreciate Dr. Yu-Syken accommodating my urgent situation on a Friday afternoon so I did not have to spend an entire weekend worrying. 

She was not rushed or hurried, asked me in-depth questions, and was very gentle with the extraction. 

Big thumbs up!
