He is the best in he is so warm caring sit downs & explains everything & let’s you ask questions. My injection is working and I’m at work with no pain. My husband said he really cares & is concerned about a patient. Plan to go dancing

Erminia G. • September 27, 2024

Dr DeYoung is a great Dr. He really cares about his patience and always does my knee injection in the right spot. He has great bedside manner also. He doesn't mind taking his time with you and making sure you understand everything before leaving his office I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Tedri P. • August 30, 2024

Dr De Young was terrific! He is very informative and took the time one to fully explain my condition in easy to understand terms and analogies. Before he treated me, he explained what he was going to do, how he was going to do it and fully explained what to expect afterwards. I felt very comfortable we with him and was totally at ease when he actually treated me.

William W. • June 21, 2024

The office staff was very professional and Dr,Young explained all of my concerns, I am very pleased and grateful for the support that I was given,Right now I’m trying to get one of my friends to come to him Thanks so very much ,Alma Hey

Alma H. • May 15, 2024

Always a pleasure to see Dr. DeYoung for whatever my problem might be. No matter how bad the pain is,it gets better just talking about it. ( even though surgery might be the solution) I’ve been his patient for many years. My husband and daughter feel the same way I do because he’s their doctor also

Dorothy W. • April 17, 2024

I've been going to Dr DeYoung for over 13 yrs. He is very knowledgeable, listens to your needs and gives the most honest recommendations. I'm extremely pleased with his medical practices.

Beatrice S. • February 21, 2024

At 53 years of age I have seen a few doctors in my lifetime. Doctor De Young is a rare breed. He does 3 things most doctors do not do anymore. 1. Listens to everything you have to say about your health. 2. Explain in detail what is happening to your body or what might be going on. 3. Common sense rational around your treatment, medication and giving practical advice on what steps to take. A true advocate for my well being and not jumping into evasive procedures.

Harry N. • January 25, 2024

Exelent explanation of type of injury and it’s required possibilities for recovery avoiding unnecessary surgeries or treatements.

Javier V. • October 24, 2023

Alicia F. • October 06, 2023

Highly skilled doctor who not only directs you towards the right path but also dedicates ample time to understand and advise on the correct course of action. Unlike many doctors who simply prescribe medications, he provides a holistic perspective. If you're seeking a seasoned medical professional, he fits the bill perfectly

Rajiv A. • August 23, 2023

Dr De Young is a awesome doctor, he takes time to listen to me and takes good care of me.

Rochelle A. • August 09, 2023

Dr. De Young and his staff are awesome. He is very knowledgeable, accommodating, and compassionate. Dr. De Young and nurse Audrey take time to make sure you understand what is going on regarding your health. Also, they are available to answer any questions you may have regarding your recovery. I would definitely recommend his practice to others.

Excellent and compassionate care. He is not rushed to leave

Katie C. • December 02, 2022

Dr. DeYoung takes time to talk and listen to his patients and their concerns. He does not come into the room and asks you only a few questions then diagnose your situation. He is very detailed and allows you to explain how you are feeling to him. Dr. DeYoung is the BEST DOCTORS EVER!!! I highly recommend!!!
