Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great doctor. Never feel rushed when I go see him.
When you walk in the lobby, his staff is super nice and makes you feel at ease. I have been seeing Dr De Young for over 12 years and he has help me a lot with my knee pains. He very easy to talk to and takes all the time you need to answer your questions. His nurse Audrey and office rep Daisy are very sweet. Always a good experience. My whole family sees him. I highly recommend him.

A wise, compassionate doctor.
Dr. DeYoung makes you feel like an old friend coming to visit. He takes time to listen, he asks questions, and asks for feedback. The advice and treatment he offers has always been absolutely spot-on. I wish there were more doctors like him.

Skillful caring surgeon
I continue to rely on Dr DeYoung for my orthopedic work. He explains things thoroughly and takes time to be sure I understand. He also is careful to take time for pain deadening medicine to take effect before beginning any treatment that requires it.

Unparalleled!
Actually, we had no visit except by phone. He has continued to consult with me while admitted in a hospital to make sure that things are done according to protocol and good medicine. What is extraordinary is that Dr De Young does not have to do the things that he has done to follow-up with me, but he has.

I highly recommend Dr DeYoung
Dr DeYoung carefully listened to me as he questioned me about how my shoulder and left elbow were feeling. He noted my progress as I placed my right arm in various positions . He talked to me about the different ways he could treat my sprain-strain. One was to see how it progressed over the next few weeks . I decided to go with that because I was not in any real pain. Dr DeYoung always takes the time to question, listen and explain options and, based on his years of experience , come up with ways to treat the injury. He is very thorough.

Dr DeYoung takes the time to really explain what bud going on with any complaint, what will work and what won’t. He acknowledges the patient has a brain in his/ her head and should be treated that way. I am very happy with him

The Best!
Suffering stiffness and pain from bone-on-bone in my right knee. Dr. DeYoung suggested a steroid injection, and that solved the problem! But Dr. DeYoung clearly reminded me that this treatment would last an undetermined amount of time - days or weeks or months - and I might need a subsequent injection.
