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.

Wonderful doctor, wonderful staff

Dr. Youngworth is the best!
Dr. Youngworth has been my ophthalmologist for 25 years or more. Today’s visit was excellent, I was called into the office in five minutes, the tech who did the first two tests was very good and also pleasant. Dr. Youngworth, as always, answered all my concerns and gave me the usual thorough exam. I would highly recommend her !!

Zero customer service.
My 93 year old dad came in to make an appointment. He has visited Dr. Youngworth for over 20 years. Office is open til 5......except today. The receptionist had turned off all the lights at 2:55pm. Told us we couldn't make an appointment because she had turned off her computer and was leaving for the day.
