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.

I may fail in using all the words to describe him accurately. I researched all specialist for my insurance and ended up changing my medical group just to go see him! I finished my colonoscopy earlier today and did not want to do it.Dr. Sy, God bless him, surpassed all my expectations and research. He is easy going but extremely detailed.he explains everything even stuff you don’t want to hear, but does it so well. He is kind and skilled at doing this. I was extremely nervous I asked not to be fully sedated and I’m so thankful to this wonderful doctor .. he listened. I didn’t get high sedation I was watching the screen and communicating with the team. As someone who doesn’t like to see doctors, I will never see anyone but him.Shout out to the nurse and the young man helping today. Really amazing and caring people!! Thank you Dr. Sy. I appreciate you.
