She needs to stop pushing surgery for implants if someone doesn't want them!

5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Young has been wonderful since I began seeing her in 2023. She has always listened and answered questions regarding care and treatment. Whether I agreed with other care or not, she highlighted the main medical reasoning behind the suggestion but never sought to put pressure on me to change my mind if I declined.

She explained things well. When I told her my experience during the breast biopsy, she listened and said that she would relay my concerns to the radiologist especially if I would need another biopsy. She explained each step leading up to surgery and included post-op care.

Dr Whitney Young is the kind of doctor that you always want. She takes the time to listen carefully, and she answers all questions. In the end I didn't need surgery, but if I did I would absolutely go to her.
