Dr. Young is simply outstanding! His remarkable speed and efficiency in addressing medical needs are matched only by his ability to create a comforting atmosphere for both parents and patients. Working alongside him, I've found that he not only makes it effortless for me to offer sedation dentistry, but his expertise instills in me a profound sense of assurance that my cases will progress seamlessly and without complication. Whenever minor hiccups surface, he promptly resolves them with a deft combination of medications, adjustments in positioning, or a solution he conjures up from his sleeve of experience. He's simply exceptional at what he does, and I have complete trust in his abilities.
