I had a disappointing experience with Dr. Youngblood. Despite being told that a brace would be ordered for my foot, I later discovered that the brace was actually available in the office, and I was not provided with it for over ten days. Additionally, the doctor did not prioritize urgent physical therapy, which led to significant delays in my treatment. Overall, the lack of communication and follow-through negatively impacted my recovery
