She really listens

It was my first time at the office with my Mom. Dr. Young listened and she has a good sense of humor too.

It feels like Dr Young really cares about me

I have struggled with skin issues my whole life and have had little success with other dermatologists. I have been seeing Dr. Young for over a year and have trusted her from the initial visit. She listens to my concerns, makes me feel like we are a team, and clearly explains what she is seeing in my skin and what the strategy for treating it is. I appreciate her greatly.

She is the Best

Dr. Young is not only supremely gifted in her profession, but she is also one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Her warmth has a healing power that compliments her skills in dermatology. She can't make me pretty. After all, she must work with the raw materials with which she is presented, but she always sends me away feeling happy and cared for. I recommend her 1000%!

very professional, effective and thorough caring treatment

I have been seeing Dr Young for several types of treatments since 2014, and she has always provided the most thorough explanation of the conditions, the causes, the treatments and the expected results. She is the best!

After a decade of love....

Dr. Young has the best bedside manner. She is highly trained in all skin care from cancers to cosmetic. She listens and uses conservative treatments first to deal with all issues of the skin and beyond. She also just assisted my 12 year old daughter with eczema and perioral dermatitis.

my favorite dr!!

dr. young is absolutely incredible! when i moved back to seattle from nyc i was so worried about finding a new dermatologist. i saw a couple that i was extremely dissatisfied with, but then i found dr. young. she is lovely! she listens, takes time with you, explains options, and is incredibly thorough. i never feel rushed in my appointments with her. i have seen her both for annual skin checks and for laser and she's been awesome in both types of appointments. and omg her staff! literally the kindest humans. adam and taylor at the front desk are amazing. it's always a great experience visiting dr. young and her team
