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.

Good experience during a tough time.
Dr. Young was extremely helpful to explain exactly what was going to happen during my emergency gallbladder surgery. He was confident and assuring that things would be fine. I definitely recommend him if your gallbladder goes south.

I ended up having to have surgery and Dr Young took such good care of me. He broke everything down for me, explained the procedure and really just put my mind at ease. The surgery was successful and he did a phenomenal job. Fantastic Dr plus his staff is amazing too!

Dr David Young may be a good dr but I give up trying to work with his staff . My first gallbladder appointment was canceled because they could not wait an hr for my dr to order an ultrasound ok then we have the ice storm and my appointment is moved by staff to the next Wednesday . Not one word about a demand for another test to see dr . I go to appointment where I was told I did not have an appointment because I was supposed to do a hida scan first . I told her how is a patient supposed to know this . I was told my dr didn't order the test like she was supposed to . I call my dr who informed me she ordered 3 test weeks ago . Nedless to say I am done with this dr . I feel like if a dr can't run his office there is a problem. I don't want my health in the incompetent office hands .

Excellent at explaining every detail of diagnosis and treatment, very personable and kind. Very skilled. Most importantly he treated me as a person. He listens, he answers, and he follows through. Cannot ask for better.

He took out my gallbladder in 2018 and I am still having issues over it. I had to have another procedure 6 months later. When I try to tell them I still hurt they just sent me on my way. Staff people were rude except for his P.A.

I was so very lucky to have had Dr. Young be on call when I went into the emergency room. I had breast cancer and he actually saved my life. I would not be here if it wasn't for him. Highly recommend!

He really explained things thoroughly and professionally. I never felt any doubt he was the right surgeon for my cancer procedure. I would highly recommend him.
