I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Young. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, patient and caring. She has provided me with empathy, support and encouragement, without judgement, to maintain and improve my health. She has listened to everything I've told her and considered that when making recommended steps to make positive changes to my lifestyle. Instead of dreading my annual exam, I look forward to it with her. She takes time to ask about all aspects of my life, including my family, and keeps all of these details in mind for all of my appointments. I feel she is paying attention to me as a whole to make really helpful suggestions that I can actually implement. I feel I am receiving personalized medicine at these appointments! She has helped me through incredibly stressful periods of my life and I feel incredibly fortunate to be her patient. I am very appreciative that she is open to me using acupuncture and my desire to minimize taking medications. She instead offers me lifestyle changes to support my health goals. She really meets me where I am at. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Young and strongly recommend her to other patients. I hope to transition my boys from their pediatrician to her care if possible when the time comes.

Dr. Young is an excellent listener and processes all information that is shared with her. As for diagnostics she seems weak sometimes when she does not clearly give more confident guidance on next steps. I don't think this is from a lack of experience, but rather a desire to not seem too aggressive or directive out of deference to the patient. In other words, I would appreciate her more firm opinion with clear options for followup.

I feel genuinely heard by Doctor Young. She shows a lot of respect and insight into my past and present health. She is always on top of the bigger health issues, but she also follows up on things I mention passively, which really makes me feel cared for. I never feel "blamed" for the state of my health, like I used to in my previous out-of-state network. My standard of care is much higher than it used to be, and every year I have visited Doctor Young, I feel a bit stronger and healthier. I really appreciate her dilligence, kindness, and understanding, and I'll never accept anything less than her level of care from any provider ever again.
