I have been going to see Dr. Young every 2-3 months for a few years now because I have an autoimmune skin disorder. I have had bad experiences with other dermatologists who don’t know enough about the specific issues that affect dark brown skin. Dr. Young is knowledgeable about that, stays current on research and is kind and thoughtful. Her staff is a pleasure to work with. I actually look forward to my appointments! I highly recommend this practice.
