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.

The best! I trust him! I trust him for my family’s care! I have had a few procedures, my wife and children also! Love the man!

DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!! This surgeon did me GREAT HARM. THEN, HE WROTE ME OFF, ABANDONED ME! HE WENT TOTALLY AGAINST HIS ETHIGAL OBILIGATION TO HIS SCHOOLS, INSTITUATIONS OF TRAINING, AGAINST ME AS A PATIENT IN BOTCHING THE SURGERY, IGNORING MY PLEAS ON EXCRUCIATING PAIN & SUFFERING, THEN, INSTEAD OF HELPING ME, ABANDONING ME, WROTE ME OFF SO, ERRORS WERE NOT KNOWN. I AM STILL SUFFERING, IN OVER 21 MONTHS. HE DIDN'T CARE THEN, DOESN'T CARE, NOW. HE IS FINE WITH IT, I AM NOT, STILL SUFFERING ON HIS BEHALF, STILL SUFFERING AT HIS HANDS!!!!!

He is an excellent surgeon. You can really tell that he cares for his patients. He is kind and caring and all of his co workers & patients speak so highly of him. Once you are a patient of his, you are a patient for life.

Dr Young has been my surgeon for several years. He is outstanding both professionally and personally. He truly CARES about his patients. I recently had multiple surgeries with him(05/1/2020) during this whole CoVid-19 pandemic, and not once was I even worried because I have such faith and trust in him that I knew all precautions would be done and double-checked personally by him. Dr. Young is a down-to-earth person that doesn’t act superior to anyone. He is grounded and knows that he is just an instrument of the Great Healer. His staff, both in the office and his surgical team are wonderful! They are skilled, caring, understanding, and ready to help no matter what the situation. I give Dr Young and his staff a 5+ star rating??

Absolutely best experience I've ever had with a doctor in my life!! Had to have gallbladder removed and was very sick. I had just had a baby and was very nervous to have surgery however Dr. Young is clearly a physician working for the Great Physician! To have a doctor hold your hand and husband's and pray for you and the surgery before you go under is the most comforting and peaceful thing one could ask for. I now feel so much better and surgery was perfect. JC is def on his side!!

Dr. Young performed an appendectomy on me. Was very impressed with the way he was able to keep me calm before saying a prayer. Would highly recommend.

Great, fantastic, unbelievable Doctor and office staff. Soon as you enter into office you can tell they are more family than employee's for you can feel it in the atmosphere. They treat you as you're family as well. Never been to a Doctor that prays with not only his staff but the patient as well. Dr. Young did my gall bladder surgery years ago and I've never had a problem since. I continue under his care because of the Doctor he is. You just don't want to leave him!!!!
