• Dr. Young is an excellent physician who welcomes questions. She shared my testing results succinctly but quickly. I didn't have enough time to process the information shared nor to formulate my questions. I just wish I had a few minutes more to eek out my questions. For my next visit, I will come with prepared questions to facilate more of a dialogue with the doctor.

But my surgeon, Lucy Young, like literally saved me from blindness, not once, but twice. And me and my family could not be more grateful for her. She's an amazing person. She's always been so kind. And even when I was playing in my band and we were going on tour and I was nervous about having recent retina surgery and having an eye patch on tour, she was very reassuring as to me being able to continue doing what I love to do and just taking precautions, which she gave expert advice and feedback for about how to keep my retina safe through this tour.

He was, so I was kind of going in all kinds of weird directions. He was not as careful with the light during his exam as he should have been. Very kind though. He was trying, but I think he probably should have had a little bit more experience before he was going so low.

She did not waste words as she carefully explained things taking time to ensure I understood. I learned many things that are important for me to know as I continue to take care of my eyes. This visit was a second opinion. I asked her for her notes, and I received them in the mail almost the next day. I feel extremely grateful to have had this consult.

  2026-01-14

• During waiting time they showed ICE propaganda on the TV which is very upsetting for me and my husband. Instead of TV (news) they should show MGB information.

  2025-12-22

• Very caring and kind.

  2025-12-21

• The only area of improvement I can think of is a better discussion (mostly in written form) of after care procedures. I think when you have a procedure done you are not necessarily the most clear thinking so having a piece of paper on do's and don't's post procedure would be helpful

  2025-12-30

• I think Dr. Young is excellent, but this practice is very busy. If I come prepared with questions and/or there are no changes to discuss, I'm fine with the quick pace. This time the results involved an unwanted progression that takes time to digest. I am dealing with that now with Google Gemini. I don't expect a half-hour hand-holding with new news. But what's the right level of guidance for patients? If not in the meeting, what could be handled with a follow-up email or outreach? My questions? Was this sudden deterioration in AMD in one eye a non-predictive one-off, a sign that deterioration is now looming/rapidly progressing? Can I expect to be impaired, or blind, in 6 months, two years, five years? Do any of the treatments I see online make sense for me? What's ahead???

  2025-12-21
