Dr. Patrick Gerard Young, MD

I just got back from an appointment with him. It was at 2:00 and I went in about 10 minutes later because I had to fill out intake paperwork. I should have arrived earlier.. no biggie.. ? But then this is where it really gets awkward. His greeting horrible. His bedside manner is awful. I tell him my issues and he immediately negates anything I say. Telling me that he doesn't think I need any meds and tells me to go see a therapist. Duh, that Is why I came here. But apparently he only is a medicine prescribing Doctor, if that is what you want to call him. Very unprofessional. I asked him why he felt this way about me and he said you don't exude those characteristics. He then told me to have a good day, that was at 2:29, so I was in there for a total of 19 minutes. and he told me to have a good day. Well, thanks buddy, good advice, is that what they taught you at the university? Anyhow, I cried as soon as I walked out of the office. And I haven't cried like this in over 6 years. I don't… cry that much I am a toughened grown man. Not sexist or chauvinist in any way but just giving you readers some background info. This man made me feel like a complete worthless SOB. I went in for some advice and help, and he tells me to have a nice day. BEWARE

Doctor young is an uncaring and unprofessional doctor. He refuses to help you get on the right meds. He will tell you that you are lying. Thanks to him I don't have a doctor for care of my mental problems.

Dr young is an excellent doctor. I am so glad that he came out to Abilene to work, since this is such a medically underserved area.

Dr Young was my Doctor from 2007 to 2008 at which time I only left his care because I moved farther away. He was a great Doctor and always answered my questions with professionalism and courtesy. He also was very polite and personable. I think I have lost a great Doctor for my condition and that is because he does not practice in Dallas, TX anymore. Best Wishes Dr. Young and God Bless You
