Dr. Young is very caring and understanding. He listens then he does his magic. He is by far my favorite doctor ever. He has helped me to deal with my pain and other health issues. I would recommend him to anyone that is dealing with severe pain. He has retired and I am really going to miss him. No other doctor can ever take his place. Congratulations to a doctor that well deserves retirement. Thank you for being my favorite doctor for at least 20 years.

After a "moderate to severe" brain injury, I was fortunate enough to be referred to Dr Young by the Rush referral line. It had been five years of suffering and often just wanting to die after local doctors turned me loose saying there was nothing else they could do for me following vestibular therapy. In two visits and six weeks, Dr Young had righted my brain chemistry and it was as if I walked out of a fog and back into life. I have referred others to him and he has worked his magic on them, as well. Thanks Dr Young, for giving my life back!

Dr Young is a good thinker, and a caring individual. There is nothing simple about his specialty. It requires some very flexible and creative thought. He is up to it, fortunately.

After visiting many doctors for the complications related to brain injury, I think we've struck gold. Most doctors are dismissive or disinterested, but this doctor really took time to process the info well. While other doctors have quickly assessed symptoms and have jumped to "psych", this doctor had a neurological explanation for what was going on. And the explanation matched my experience. What a relief! Someone who has done their homework. I think most other docs just do not read anything new once they are out of med school. This guy is up on it all.
