He is the best doctor I have ever had in 30 years coming to this VA.

My family became acquainted with Dr. Young over a period of about 6 months.  He performed numerous functions critical to my ailing mother's health and treated her as in the image of Christ.  When we were curious about the chance she would benefit from undergoing a more invasive interventional radiology procedure that he did not perform himself, he made time to explain the procedure and print material for us.  He understands that being offered kindness is sometimes the most important need.  We will never forget the empathy and compassion he showed my Mother.

If it wasn't for his knowledge and caring, I would not be aware there are ways to alleviate pain during the biopsy process and of the breathing method he suggested making it possible to get a good sample. I feel it is something that only he could explain to a patient. Union Hospital has been blessed to have him, and I have been blessed having him care for me and my

health. Prior to our contact, I had chosen an avenue of treatment that Indiana hasn’t yet accepted. I

appreciate that he didn’t pressure me in any way against this treatment but  assured me that if he could be of any help in the future, he would be there.

I had a Pleurx drainage tube placed to drain fluid from my chest. I also had a port placed for chemo access. Dr. Young did both procedures. Before the procedures, he showed me on his computer where the metastatic breast cancer had spread in my body. When he placed the drainage tube and the port, he explained the procedures thoroughly. He was very caring and concerned about my comfort. I felt relaxed and confident in his care. I would recommend Dr. Young to anyone.

It was so refreshing to be able to have a doctor who puts his patients first! I have been sharing with everyone how he took care of me.  Now if we could just clone other doctors after him!

He sat down with me before and after the procedure so I could see for myself what I was facing and what went on.  It was obvious he cared about me, not just as a patient but as a human being.
