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.

No compassion in ER
Didn't speak to the patient's family, didn't examine the patient in the ER, just snapped some comments to the nurse and took off. The nurses were shocked. My dad used to like Dr. Young, years ago, as a regular patient. Dr Young had zero compassion for the patient, and no respect for the family or the nurses in the ER.

Laparoscopic Robotic Radical Prostatectomy
Dr. Young performed the Prostatectomy on me March 27, 2023. I got our of the hospital the next day and was on the mend. Had minimal incontinence after only 10 days. No pain medicine needed after the first day home. Dr. Young gave me hope, so I can enjoy my grandchildren for years to come.

Dr Young is kind, considerate and professional. He did an outstanding job helping me with my prostate cancer. Dr. Young was very thorough in explaining to me what would happen and what my recovery would be like. If you want the best call Dr Young.
