  • Dr. Young is a fabulous top notch primary care physician why genuinely cares about her patients. I know because I am on the receiving end of the care she provides. She sits and listens to what you have to say, all the while looking at you directly rather than typing away on a laptop. She has been my primary care doctor for 10 plus years and I know I am lucky to have her!

I never have to wait long. Everyone has a good attitude. Dr. Young is a great doctor and listens carefully to what I have to say, orders the test that need to be ordered, and proceeds appropriately with information obtained. You can have the blood work drawn right downstairs that day. It is a very efficient system. Communication is easy through the computer system.
