Very caring and dedicated to my eye health
Dr Young has incredible connection with patients. She makes my daughter feel valued and heard during her eye appointments. She also addresses my concerns as a mom. Dr Young is incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. We have been working with Dr Young for the past 3-4 years and we can't say enough good things about our experience.
5 stare in every regard.
I love Dr. Young, she's very professional and very kind, I have no complaints about her. [TRANSLATED]
Marielle was great with our child and explained everything very well.
Dr Young is excellent. Efficient and skilled. Great with kids and parents alike.
Dr. Young is phenomenal, her bedside manner is fantastic, and she truly connects with her patients. My daughter has seen her since she was a toddler (now a pre-teen) and she's always received top notch care. My daughter also has autism (level 1, verbal) and we have had zero issues with how Dr. Young and the staff treat her and us.
One of the worlds greatest! Thank you Dr. Young for the sight! Your greatest fan! [NAME REMOVED]
Took time with me and was pleasant, patient, and professional. Very nice practitioner.
Felt rushed and impatient with a small child. I would not recommend this provider.
Dr. Young was very thorough in working with my grandson during his appointment. I think she's very professional. I appreciate that she brought another Doctor in to get his opinion on her diagnosis. Their discussion coming to an agreement of diagnosis and the next steps for my grandson's vision care.
Excellent person, kind and with very good attention and explanation regarding the issue related to your inquiry. [TRANSLATED]
Good service, but I feel the examination was too quick. [TRANSLATED]
She was so kind and charismatic with my daughter that she let her examine her thoroughly, as my daughter is very difficult to handle. With her, my daughter felt very happy and encouraged, so thank you so much for having people like her. [TRANSLATED]
Felt the kindness and concern.
Dr Young was beyond exemplary! I was very excited to have the procedure we examined for, however we drove over 2 hours and found out after that our insurance was not accepted. I did the online paperwork so it was known ahead what insurance we carried. I hope in the future the staff looks deeper and let's the person know is covered or not. Thanks and I'm truly sorry she cannot do my procedure! She was wonderful!
Excelente [TRANSLATED]
I'm glad I was referred to Dr. Young. She took the time to thoroughly examine my eyes and explain my issue. For the first time in years, I feel like I have answers! I'm excited to find a doctor who believes in me and has started me on the road to a possible solution.
I was impressed with Dr Marielle Young because of her decisions and the positive actions that restored my normal vision.
She listened to my concerns and was confident and knowledgeable about the surgery I need. She gave me her full attention. I felt at ease in her care. Thank you!
We've seen Dr. Young twice and will not be seeing her again. The second time we came in it was like she didn't even remember or review our previous visit even though we were there for a follow up. Comments she mad and things I had to remind her about made it obvious she didn't take the time or effort in either of our visits to be care about my child or what we had come in for. Extremely disappointed in their care we received from Dr. Young if care is even what you could call it. I would 100% recommend trying a different provider over her.
Dr Young is an amazing doctor. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my daughter.
Good service, accurate and dedicated to her work [TRANSLATED]

Excellent provider. Personable, thorough and knowledgeable.
Didn't love being left to wait in the exam room with my 3yo special needs son for 45 minutes. It was terrible.
Dr Young is very thorough and skilled at detecting and treating even difficult issues. She takes the time to answer questions and make sure everything is addressed.
Dr. Payne Young was thorough and explained the procedure I needed in a way that was comforting and understandable.
Very competent and helpful
She was very respectful and attentive, I liked her attention [TRANSLATED]
We felt this provider was extremely impersonal. She did not talk directly to us, she did not talk to my child, and she spoke at a loud volume as if we were deaf. She kept us waiting multiple times without any information or explanation as to why. We won't be bringing our child back.
She's very kind, very attentive, and very good at explaining things. To us parents: How are our children? [TRANSLATED]
She was great with our special needs grandson.
Dr. Young is excellent. She is very knowledgable and always ready to answer questions. We first saw her 7 years ago for a second opinion, and she gave very good early recommendations about my daughter's eye condition, which recommendations have been validated by doctors at two highly respected hospitals on both the west and east coast (as we moved around the country).
She is the very best, kind, knowledgeable and easy to hear!!
Dr Young is an amazing surgeon who cares about her patients. She performed life altering surgery on my eyes and I am forever grateful for both Dr Young and her entire team. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing her services.
Dr Young is a skilled professional who takes time with patients to help them understand what's going on and next steps in figuring out what to do about it.
She was a amazing listen to all my concerns and was very kind and caring, and took her time explaining everything
Very professional and upbeat, explained everything in a way that easy to understand
She's a very educated competent and kind doctor.
She's wonderfully friendly and kind. She talks with these kids like a friend would. Kind, patient, and friendly.
She is always so patient with him, and me holding him. We love her
The provider was late to work because of a car wreck and I understand that. But the problem was she rushed in quickly check my child's eyes and moved on. She didn't ask if we questions, assumed we were there for one thing and we weren't. She didn't care about us or my child.
Dr Young is highly concerned about resolving the issue that brought me in to her practice. She's thorough, almost dogged, which I appropriated very much. She seems to be committed to solving the problem. She's very easy to talk to.
She listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions. She was so professional but also made me feel she understood me!!!!!
I found this doctor to be very able to diagnose my need and make an appropriate surgical plan. She was very able to identify my problem and the solution. We did make one mistake, however, in canceling the follow- up appointment the day after surgery for possible adjustments so I am having a second surgery. But this surgery is not a difficult recovery and I do need the problem fixed so I am having the second surgery with the follow up appointment the next day. Dr. Young seems well prepared to be able to resolve my issue.
