I had my first colonoscopy on last Friday! I must say Dr. Young is one of the nicest doctors that I have met. He has a smile when he walks into your room. He has the best bedside manners, he’s very thorough, when explaining the procedure! His team was super nice as well! His anesthesiologist was so nice! She greeted me with a smile. She also gave me the best 20 minute nap ever!! I also love his staff in his office! I love Norma!

Dr. Young has treated me for Crohn’s decease for over 30 years. He is very knowledgeable of GI issues and other illnesses. He diagnosed me fairly quickly when other doctors didn’t know what was going on. He prescribed the right medication to enable me to continue work and start a family. His treatments have kept me in remission for 30 years. He is very patient and listens to your concerns. Some patients are too impatient with his practice but I’m glad he spends as much time as needed. I would recommend Dr. Young.
