Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The BEST!
Dr. Younes is highly knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind & especially thorough. He explains things in detail & clarifies questions very well. Initially becoming a patient with 3 different, rare & serious infections after my bi-lateral mastectomy, I continued with a daily IV protocol for over 1.5 years, but we finally conquered all of them. Now, for wound care... all I can say is Dr. Younes & his whole staff are excellent.

Excellent Care
I just completed 6 weeks of 24/7 IVs. I sincerely thank and appreciate the staff and nurses at the Younes Infusion Center for making this experience as easy as possible. The nurses are efficient, professional, and fast at getting you in and out of the center. The flexible scheduling makes it possible to keep other doctor appointments. A special thanks to Lynn, the RN who explains and answers all questions about this experience.

Infusion clinic
I was 56 consecutive days at the infusion clinic...l found each and every one of the staff members to be smiley friendly and positive EVERY day... a huge boost for the patients... I had the privilege of watching a new employee being trained she was very nervous and the staff treated her with the same gentleness and respect as the patients... so a HUGE shout out to those young ladies for work well done!

Dr Younnes, Marybeth and the rest of the staff provided exceptional care, comfort and expertise when my 87 year old mother faced a blood infection. We felt embraced, immediately, like family. There is so much positive energy, patience and compassion in this office. We are grateful they continue to serve our desert community.

Not only did he save my lower leg. His crew saved my life. They are very strict and they take care of business. I was diabetic and had a slim chance of recovery from a nasty wound from an explosion. They got my health on track and wound care top notch Dr. Brett and Staff very proffesional. Susan works her butt off to keep it running smoothly. Mary Beth has an eagle eye at the infusion area nothing slips by her or her staff. Can't thank them enough. You just have to have patient the healing does take time... DR. YOUNE'S AND HIS CREW ROCKS !!!!!

been going everyday for weeks and never even met the guy. 99% of his staff is amazing but unfortunately there's always one loud, pushy, aggressive, obnoxious, extremely condescending person to ruin the whole experience. Not a very nice way to start my Sunday morning

Immoral and unethical doctor. His buisness model is make money by pumping antibiotics into patients for as long as he can so he can defraud Medicare and insurances. There is clear conflict of interest when you own the infusion center and get paid to give intravenous drugs for as long as you want when possibly a short time of antibiotics by mouth could suffice. He deserves jail time and license to be taken away. Beware

This dr has the worst bedside manner I've had to deal with in a long time. The 1st visit went well as hey were all pretty thorough but the, 2nd visit, he wouldnt let me even speak, he got up in my face wanting to know where I did my medical training, asking me who else was I going to insult, i dont even have any clue as to why he was so upset. He would not let me speak or answer any of his questions. He was totally out of control and threw me out saying I'd never use any of his surgeons. Awful!

A few years ago my husband had an abscess on his kidney. Many bouts of infection and hospital visits finally brought us to Dr Younes. He isolated the problem, recommended a course of action and we believe saved my husband's life. He was fantastic through a lengthy 3 month process and we are grateful for his skill and kindness.
