Dr was extremely nice and worked well with my son. He was never fearful. One thing tho. I have no idea what is wrong with his eyes besides she thinks he will grow out of it. She was in and out. I heard the word astigmatism but nothing about the degree of which his eyes weren't 20/20. She does want to see him again in a year so I guess I will find out then. I just figured I'd get it written on paper or something.

Wonderful experience with Dr. Young. I was very impressed with her ability to assess my babies eyes. She was very quick to think of new ways to distract her or get her to do what she needed for a good quality assessment of her eyes and I felt very appreciative of that.

Seemed intelligent. Was quick in speech though, almost rushed. She did tell me she would keep me informed on any new developments in the research industry on my son's condition.

I was traveling to Utah to get a second opinion about my daughter's eyes because Dr. Young had been recommended to me. I was so impressed with her. We had come from a provider who didn't really explain a lot of things, always seemed in a rush, and during each visit had a different plan for my daughter. Both providers diagnosed my daughter with the same condition, but Dr. Young actually explained what it meant for her now and in the long term, and went over a plan for helping her over the years.

I marked Good instead of Very Good for the following reason. As a patient, visiting a surgeon, I was nervous. When I am nervous, I don't think as quickly. To me it seemed the doctor rushed through everything and my brain was trying to keep up with her. I personally need more explanation as to what is going on, what she is doing, if the measurements taken of my eye were the same as when another doctor measured them, etc.

We have been going to Dr Young since my daughter was 11 months old. Dr Young has done 2 surgeries. We have absolutely loved her. She is knowledgeable and always listens to my input on treatment. She takes time to speak with my daughter so she isn't afraid of her appts. That is impressive since my daughter is now 3.

I've told her twice now about my son having an eye that crosses in and that it is getting worse to the point it now crosses outward as well. The first time she didn't really try to see what I was telling her about and brushed it off as something else. This time I showed her pictures of exactly what was happening and all she did was say "hmmm... interesting" and then gave us a Rx for glasses saying that maybe not seeing as well was the reason it had become worse. I was disappointed that she didn't take it more seriously. My son is insecure about his eyes crossing because he says kids "get freaked out".

My spouse and I really liked the doctor. she was quick and efficient which we appreciated. She did not offer alternatives, risks, or benefits which we were not very concerned with because we had researched options prior to the visit and there aren't many other options really.

it was honestly a very Trumatic experience for me and my daughter. We never been to the eye doctor before, and I thought it would be more kid friendly because it was primary Children's Hospital.

the doctor said my baby's eyes looked fine and we will have a follow up appointment in 6 months, but no one said anything about risks or effects of the medication they used to dilate his eyes. Also, they had to put them in twice because apparently he didn't dilate enough the first round.
