    I found Dr. Young to be extremely competent, human, and friendly. She explained the surgery to me to my satisfaction, and even laughed when I suggested she might be too young to be an MD! She is very personable while being very competent and when I asked about her training ( something I'm afraid I almost always ask doctors!) willingly told me where she had studied. I appreciate knowing that background very much. She made me trust her ability to solve my eye problem because of her explanations of the procedure. I am going into this surgery anticipating a good experience and a good result- she impressed me. ( not am easy task. )

    Dr. Young is so personable and easy to talk to. She is so capable and competent at her work, I completely trust her when she is looking at my kids¿ eyes. She was able to diagnose a condition in my son¿s eyes that had flummoxed two other eye doctors.

    Wasn¿t pleased with bedside manner and I¿m not one to usually leave a low review but please have better communication with little kiddos.

    She is an amazing provider. We have been seeing her for the past 5 years. She is excellent with going kids. She provided treatment options and we could choose what was best for our family. We patched which has allowed us to avoid glasses.

    Dr Payne was knowledgeable and quickly assessed my two year old¿s problem, which was a concern since he is not very verbal. She did not spend a lot of time explaining things to me or answering questions but did send us home with a printout that answered a lot of my questions.

    Dr. Young is an amazing woman. She has helped my child so much and gave her the confidence she needs to walk in this world. Dr. Young is swift and accurate. She cares about her patients. I have to travel 6 hours to get to her office, but I do it because we trust her so much.

    Dr Young clearly has a great deal of experience in her field and I appreciate the effort she is putting into my care. In true professional fashion she is also consulting a colleague regarding my complex case. I appreciate her and feel confident I have found the right physician to help me. Thank you Dr Young!
