Performed hernia surgery on me about 2 weeks ago. He was very thorough in explaining the procedure he would be doing and the various things that had to be done pre-op and post-op. Had my post-op check today and I am feeling fine but he still explained what I should not be doing for the next 2 weeks.

Dr. Steven Young repaired two inguinal hernias for me. Three tiny slits in my belly, with minimal swelling. I felt like my old self in no time. A month after surgery, I can barely see the scars. Great bedside manner. Explained everything. I would recommend Dr. Young to my best friend!!

I recently met and was cared for by Dr. Steven Young. I needed surgery as soon as possible. I have seen him twice at his office and at the hospital before my surgery. He is very attentive, personable, respectful and professional. He is thoughtful, evaluating and explaining his approach and options, expected outcomes, etc. He takes the time to listen and answer any questions. I am very grateful to have such great doctor on my care team. Thank you, Dr. Young!

My wife has low vision so I wanted to post her review as she had three hernias and a gallstone removed all at the same time, and Dr. Young was absolutely fabulous from our initial visit, the entire surgery and procedure and his team and the follow up. We are extremely particular about choosing Doctors and I cannot express how highly we would recommend him!
