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, compassionate doctor
I was scheduled for an appointment later in the month. I learned today that Dr. Young-Tripp has left the practice. Although I am very upset because it takes a while to form a bond with one's doctor, I wish her well and I hope she's okay. I was unable to reschedule the appointment with someone else.

Best Dr. I ever had.
She cared about not only what was most important to attend to,but also preventive necessities.She took time to explain.I am 63 yrs. old. I thank God to have ever have been able to be her patient. I have had both in person and video appointments.,depending on circumstances. iI was with her for years and would follow her if I knew where she is practicing now and was able.

Good, but wait times are LONG
Several times I have waited close to an hour to see her. I understand that her time is valuable, but so is mine.

Compassionate and Thorough
I always get nervous before a doctors appointment. I worry that they’re going to tell me I gained too much weight or I’m not living right. Dr. Young Tripp never makes me feel that way. She’s very understanding and takes time to listen and explain things very thoroughly. She’s extremely intelligent, yet relatable. I feel very cared for and supported in my quest for better health.

telemedicine visit last month. It was my initial meeting with her. She talked to me about my physical history, encouraged me to live healthier, and was insightful about my health without any condescension... what a wonderful, lovely doc! Hope to have her as my doc for a long time.
