Youngsville, NC | May 31, 2017

This is the most arrogant and rude doctor I've ever met!! Do yourself a favor and consider another Dr.

-Christy in Supply, NC | Dec 30, 2016

This was a terrible visit. Dr. Young did not even look at the xrays, told my daughter that she has flexible flat foot and said she needs to take ibprofen. She is in so much pain all the time, she can't even make it through 1 visit to the grocery store without riding on the cart, she is 12 . She is in pain every day. He did say he was no good and would recommend another doctor, at least he got that part right. Completely rude and uncaring.

-Barbara in Ocean Isle Beach, NC | May 30, 2016

My husband and I are both patients of Dr. Young and appreciate his 'laid-back-little-talk' manner which we do not equate with incompetency. Dr. Young performed exemplary surgery on my husband's toe and my knee. As for me and my husband, we will continue to use the medical services of Dr. Young and is friendly staff, with complete trust.

-Barbara E. in Calabash, NC | Mar 30, 2016

Dr. Young was very professional and friendly. He took x-rays of my knee so he knew exactly what he was dealing with. He suggested a number of options open to me without jumping right to surgery. I was impressed with both him and his staff and look forward to working with him in the future.

-amy in north myrtle beach sc | Feb 25, 2016

Was very rude. He spent maybe ten minutes with me and determined i needed surgery and scheduled the surgery without knowing the cause of my problem or doing any tests i immediatley set up an appointment with a reputable orthopaedic surgeon. I will not allow a clinic rated c by the bbb to perform surgery on me. . seems like its all about the money anc not the welfare of the patients

-C. Roberts in sunset beach | Feb 11, 2016

I was seen today by this doctor. He only spent about 5 minutes with me. Not very personable at all. He was not gentle at all when pressing on my foot. I am going for a 2nd opinion. I will never go there again.

What is medical malpractice
What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice is issued when negligence by a doctor causes injury to a patient. For example, a doctor may improperly diagnose, treat or medicate outside the standard of medical care. The three types of malpractice are: a settlement, an arbitration award, or a judgment.
If my doctor has malpractice history, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?
If your doctor has a malpractice claim, evaluate the information and determine if the action could potentially impact the quality of care you receive. Claim settlements and arbitration awards may occur for a variety of reasons, which should not necessarily reflect negatively on the doctor's professional competence or conduct.
You may want to use this information to start a discussion with the doctor about his or her history and specific ability to provide healthcare for you.
How far back does Healthgrades malpractice history go?
Healthgrades reports details of a doctor’s malpractice history when the doctor has at least one closed medical malpractice claim within the last five years, even if he or she no longer practices in that state.
For which states does Healthgrades collect malpractice history?
Healthgrades collects malpractice information from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. If your doctor has a malpractice claim, evaluate the information and determine if the action could potentially impact your quality of care. Sometimes multiple states report the same claim. If a provider practices in a state where data is unavailable, please reach out to your local state legislature to help make this data publicly available.

What is a sanction or disciplinary action
What is a sanction or disciplinary action?
A sanction, also known as a disciplinary action, is an action taken to punish or restrict a doctor who has demonstrated professional misconduct. Sanctions may be imposed by a state medical board, professional medical licensing organization, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
If my doctor has sanction history, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?
If a doctor has a sanction, it does not necessarily mean that he or she is a poor-quality doctor. Some sanctions are not related to medical care, and involve a doctor’s finances or administrative activities. Before you make any choices about changing your doctor, we recommend that you evaluate the doctor’s sanction information and determine how severe or relevant you think the sanction cause and action were.
How far back does Healthgrades sanction history go?
Healthgrades reports state and federal sanctions from the previous five years, except when a doctor's license has been revoked or surrendered. Healthgrades displays all actions for doctors whose licenses have been revoked or surrendered.
For which states does Healthgrades collect sanction history?
Healthgrades collects sanction history from all 50 U.S. states. Physicians with a disciplinary action in one state may move to another state where they have a clean record. Since Healthgrades painstakingly compiles disciplinary action information from all 50 states, Healthgrades website will show if a physician has a disciplinary action in more than one state.

Board Actions
No board actions found for the years that Healthgrades collects data.
What are board actions
What are board actions?
Board actions are non-disciplinary actions imposed upon a doctor based on a complaint investigation. A patient or medical colleague may file a complaint with that state medical board or professional licensing organization, which then investigates the complaint. Board actions are intended to ensure that a doctor is able to perform safe medical and health care tasks.
Types of non-disciplinary actions include an advisory letter, a corrective action agreement, a limitation or restriction on the medical or healthcare tasks a doctor can perform, or a voluntary agreement by the doctor not to practice. A board action can also include a termination of a corrective action agreement or voluntary agreement, which allows the doctor to return to full practice.
If my doctor has a board action, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?
If a doctor has a board action, it means he or she has had a non-disciplinary action imposed upon him or her. It does not necessarily mean that he or she is a poor quality doctor. Before you make any choices about changing your doctor, evaluate the doctor's board action information and determine how severe or relevant you think the cause and action were.
How far back does Healthgrades non-disciplinary board action history go?
Healthgrades reports non-disciplinary board action history from for the previous five years, except when a doctor's license has been revoked or surrendered. Healthgrades displays all actions for doctors whose licenses have been revoked or surrendered.
For which states does Healthgrades collect non-disciplinary board actions?
