Sunil P Verma, MD

Be prepared to wait at least 40 minutes for this doctor. Cannot say anything yet about the quality of this doctor since I’ve been sitting waiting to be seen.

I was really disappointd with this Dr. I had high expections however, he did not listen to me nor did he offer any helpful information. I felt my issue was not important enough to warrent his time. Now I need to search for another specialist; hopefully one with no ego! What a waste of time!

First I have no idea where any of the 3 poor reviews are coming from. I don’t believe they saw Dr. Verma or at least not Sunil P Verma because they are horribly wrong.
My local ENT recommended I go to the Irvine Medical center to investigate Laser surgery for Cancer on my Vocal Chord. I did the research into Radiation and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Verma. He and his staff were excellent. He is highly respected and very professional. He took the time to listen to all my concerns and suggested I do go forward with the Laser Surgery I am now in the 8^th month after the surgery. My voice is clear and I don’t have any hoarseness. The follow ups to date are all clear. Great Doctor, Great Team, Thanks to God for the talent of this team.

I was lucky enough to get referred to Dr. Verma by a colleague. My father has been having voice problems for a long time and was misdiagnosed by another physician. Dr. Verma was able to give the correct diagnosis immediately, performed surgery shortly after and now my dad’s voice has dramatically improved. Absolutely worth the trip from LA (but it would be worth it even if you lived farther away). Dr. Verma is an excellent physician with impeccable bed-​side manners.

I was referred to Dr. Verma by my local ENT and I am eternally grateful for that referral. I had an exam in his office and he performed a throat surgery for me. In the office he was so attentive and easy to talk to. I had been seeing ENTs and pulmonologist and having many tests for months. I assumed he would do a cursory exam and schedule me for a procedure to really begin to investigate my problem. Instead he had me stay and did a scope in office, while I was wide awake and able to watch. He was so skillful! And it allowed him to directly look that day and finally diagnose me and plan my treatment. I cannot tell you how wonderful that offic visit was for me. The throat surgery was scheduled for as soon as it was conveneient for me, like right away. The surgery went SO much easier than I had anticipated and my results are fantastic. I’m super grateful to him. I give him my highest possible recommendation for not only his skill and knowledge, but his patient interaction as well. For the record, I am an ICU nurse married to a surgeon. My standards are very high. He exceeded them.

I had a great visit with Dr. Verma today. I was very impressed with his care and the amount of time he took with me even though I work with another doctor currently. He spent a good hour going over treatments and options as well as his experience and ideas for my future care. I was a little worried that with all of the TV shows he is on that he might have an ego! But in all actuality he was the complete opposite. Very humble and open minded. Yet he was straight forward with his opinion and thoughts on a very complicated and rare condition. I am very pleased over all with the visit and will be looking forward to using Dr. Verma for his genuine Care and Skill he showed.

Dr. Verma is the best!!! I first called Dr. Verma when I developed a hoarse voice. I had been to three other ENT doctors who couldn’t figure out what was going on. I found Dr. Verma through his website,
and made the drive to Orange County from Los Angeles. I was nervous at first, but boy was it worth it!
From the beginning, Dr. Verma was different than the other physicians. He carefully listened to my problems. He diagnosed me with vocal cord paralysis (one of my vocal cords doesn’t work) and performed a procedure on my throat with me awake! It didn’t hurt a bit and after a vocal cord injection my voice was back to normal.
I ended up needing surgery six months later to permanently improve my voice and after performing thryoplasty (placing an implant in my voice box to strengthen my voice) my voice is great.
I would highly recommend Dr. Verma to anyone with a voice or swallowing problem. He was available for questions whenever I needed him. He is funny, kind, and best of all — a great surgeon!

I cannot imagine what the previous reviewer was talking about regarding Dr. Verma, it is like we are speaking of two different physicians. He is engaging, compassionate, takes as much time as you need without being at all impatient, has wonderful assistants at both facilities, gentle as possible with procedures. Aside from all the glowing attributes I have just given him, the most important is he is extremely proactive with getting to the bottom of what is happening with you. This is a terrific physician! I will add more at a later date, recovering from modified radical neck dissection at this point.

He’s not very helpful or compassionate. He’ll blow you off if given the chance and doesn’t seem to care about his patients’ well being. I was very disappointed with his professionalism and standard of care… he seems to be concerned with making the most amount of money and seeing the most amount of patients without actually spending time or listening to those patients. It was incredibly disappointing. UCI should be a top notch provider of medical care and instead they have an environment that allows doctors like this to give suboptimal care. If you can, go to UCLA or USC… stay away from this doc.
