UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

Thank you for your help

UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

Doctor Young was professional and good at talking my problems and pain through with me after surgery with another doctor. He was honest about what could be happening and explained how we should proceed.

UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

He's the only doctor out of 5 I remember. He did the last surgery, and took the breathing tube out

UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

Good

UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

Since the clinic was running 3 hours behind, the PA was very rushed trying to get through the appointment, and while she was attempting to be helpful, the main message I received was that this clinic would not be the best to help me moving forward.

UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

He was very understanding on what I wanted and told me what I had to do on my part in order to be healthy for my possible surgery

UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

The provider was well versed on my past medical history. That was reassuring.

UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

Dr. Young was very good at helping me understand the after effects of my surgery and relieving me, at least in part, of some fears I've had regarding the unexpected outcome of my surgery.

UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

Dr. Young was very clear in explaining my situation and the steps necessary to continue my recovery.

UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

Very professional

UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

I'll just paste this in from before: We felt very confident with him, and liked his demeanor a lot. He was friendly, but carried the appropriate seriousness for our situation was well. We hope he ends up being our surgeon when the time comes. We like answers to our questions, we have been getting those from Gen Surgery, and Dr. Young was really good. So were the Interns. His current recommendations came with explanations. And, while he was friendly, he was also to the point. Example: we need another CT Scan, he tied in all the info that would give them to our current situation, so we could see the need and the benefit. Thank you, Dr. Young and Interns. Dr. Lombardo was good at this also during that visit.
