Client Voices

  • “We had a fantastic experience with Dr. Young. He was so fun and really engaged with my son during his appointments. He accurately diagnosed my son's eye condition and gave us a game plan to help heal my son's condition. He has gone from having 20/100 vision in one of his eyes up to 20/50, which is a dramatic improvement. We highly recommend Dr. Young!!”
