Dr. Melinda Young, MD

I’m not sure what our family would have done without Dr Melinda Young when my boys were little. One of my boys had debilitating anxiety with some OCD and had been misdiagnosed and put on highly inappropriate drugs by a collaboration of two well known Bay Area child psychiatrists and a pediatrician. The other had atypical ADHD and was acting out, under the care of a different child psychiatrist. In both cases, several years apart, Dr Young was able to disentangle the mess, with endless patience and careful prescribing, keeping notes on each incremental change. She put them both on the correct path not only medically but with some down-to-earth talk therapy. Both are doing wonderfully years later. I wish every kid who needs medication could have that chance.

Melinda is an excellent provider who has helped me immensely with my anxiety disorder. She has a variety of tools and techniques along with medications to help her patients deal with their specific problems and ease their individual concerns and symptoms.
