About

Dr. Sy was glad to return home to Orange County for his internship and residency program at UCI Medical Center. During his residency, he was a Chief Resident in internal medicine overseeing newer residents' training. Additionally, Dr. Sy also completed a three year post graduate fellowship in Gastroenterology at Kaiser Hospital in Los Angeles.

Originally, Dr. Sy thought he would follow his "family of scientists" into a laboratory research field, but after working in a lab for a while, he found that clinical work involving patient contact better suited him.

I chose Gastroenterology because I enjoy the opportunity to perform procedures and still get to know my patients over a period of time. I know it sounds cliche, but I really do enjoy caring for patients. I like to see people get better!

Dr. Sy is board certified in gastroenterology.

Dr. Sy has volunteered his time and skills on numerous occasions including New Orleans Hurricane Katrina post hurricane Relief. In addition to volunteering, he likes to play and/or watch basketball and tennis, and spend time with family, friends, and his dog, Milo.

Met Dr. Sy this morning and he reviewed my last colonoscopy with me. He was very thorough and not only answered my questions but took his time with his explanations as well. I would highly recommend him and his staff were very kind and friendly as well.

Dr Sy was great but his nurse never took my blood pressure or oxygen levels yet results appeared on my follow up paperwork. No problem with not taking them however I don’t like that it states my blood pressure was 120/80 but it was never actually taken. Or perhaps this is a computer program issue?
