Dr. Lawrence YH Young, MD

Would not use this dr or nurse Tessa again! I had extremely high BP and was not watched or cared for enough. Many things throughout the whole pregnancy and after we're never explained to me . He doesn't spend much time with his patients he relies on his nurses to do most of it... including letting Tessa be the one calling the shots which were wrong. I pushed for hrs trying to explain that I felt something was wrong... after dr young got there he had to give me an episiotomy which I also tore past. .. Tessa didn't seem to think I needed one. Also forceps had to be used to get my son out who was in distress... none of it ever should have happened .. I should have had a c section.. My son was faced wrong and stuck the whole time i was talked to like i was crazy and I didn't know what I was talking about til after I had my son... then all of them said oh that's why and started treating me different... I went in on a Tuesday and didn't leave until Saturday afternoon BC of my high BP. .. in… which I was told by nurses they didn't agree w dr young on taking me of the meds to bring down my bp.. they still felt it was to High to do do more then 30 hrs after delivery....

I've delivered both of my children with Dr. Young and have used him for various other issues as well. He definitely knows what he is doing and is an incredibly competent doctor. If you are looking for someone who will hold your hand and make you feel better, this is not your doctor. He's usually pretty clinical and straightforward with instructions and directions but I'm totally fine with that.

He doesn't return calls personally. When the clinic sends me to the hospital, he never makes an appearance to check me out himself. Gives no advice for pain, lost my diabetes test more than once so I went for a long time not knowing if I was gestational diabetic again or not. They treat me indifferently when I call because I am sick of having pain or dizziness, nobody seems to care about me or my baby. I will never return to this doctor again because he doesn't care about anything but my pocketbook. I am terrified I am going to lose this baby or that something is really wrong with me because I am so sick and in pain. Dr. Young hasn't once spoken to me directly, but just has some 3rd person deliver messages to me. If I lose my baby I will so him and the clinic he works. If I end up with a burst appendix, I'll sue him for failure to take care of me. If I die, my family will sue on my behalf. I am so angry and frustrated and I now hate this man and wouldn't want any of my friend or family… to ever become patients of his.

Like most OB/GYNs these days, Dr. Young doesn't spend enough time informing patients what to watch for and options on birth. After my birth, I presented with a major problem that he just brushed aside. I have since figured out that this is a common but lifelong problem caused by a traumatic childbirth. Dr. Young could have taken many measures during my multiple visits to his office during pregnancy to inform me of my high chance of getting this problem due to my multiple risk factors. He didn't do this. He didn't present options for birth for me which would have greatly reduced my risk of developing this health disorder. I felt like cattle during my pregnancy and shuffled down the system. I would never deliver with him again, or in fact, with any OB/GYN who doesn't spend time actually talking to the patient and presenting options on ways to deliver. There isn't only one way - find out your options and the risks of each method on your own.
