I feel like there couldn't be a better doctor to oversee my son's eyes. I feel confident about her plan for him moving forward, and have seen great improvements in his eyes since we started seeing Dr. Young.

Dr Young is our favorite Dr for so many reasons. She has cared for two of our children since birth and has always cared deeply for them, their care plans and how their vision affects them both now and the future. She takes her time and is so thorough. I always know she will continue to work until she is confident in what she finds. We love her and are so grateful for her!!

RIVERTON CLINICS

She was very knowledgeable and did a thorough job of evaluating my child. I appreciated that. And I did appreciate her answers to my questions about the accuracy of her initial prescription and how important it is that I have her wear them day and night. I didn't know who all the team members were that came into the evaluation and it seems like they were students learning on the job. I would have liked to have been introduced to them so I knew what their roles were. I also wish I had more ideas with the Dr on how to fit the glasses better onto her face, especially since the person Julie wasn't able to help me.

I would have loved to hear a numerical value to the eye exam. Her rx is this, but doesnt need glasses yet. I should have asked, but it was a quick exam. Dr. Young is amazing. Maybe just ask: What questions do you have? At the end.

Dr Young was the answer we had been praying for and searching for since Esthers diagnosis at 9 months! 5 years later, God brought us the answers we had been praying for and we are forever grateful! Dr Young knew exactly what needed to be done and was willing to work us in as quickly as possible before my husbands deployment! You dont find doctors like her often, but when you do, you know youre in good hands and they will give you their all! Againvery grateful!

I know different reviews state that Dr. Young moves/talks fast and doesnt explain things but I will tell you, she moves fast to work with kids and their attention span and because of her schedule. She is so efficient and did a great job with my 2 year old. She and her staff together are a well oiled machine. She answered all my questions and more. She even showed us and allowed us to look at how she was able to determine my daughters eye rx. She explained reasoning behind her thinking and treatment. She does tend to speak quickly but she makes sure you understand what she said. Her staff was great! I highly recommend Dr. Young.
