January 25, 2017Shavonne G.Verified patient
I didn’t feel like I was been treated, rather they were in a hurry to send me out with just a anti inflammatory injection most of the time.I was looked by Dr.Lawrence just twice during my 8-9 visits.

First time visiting. Everyone was very pleasant!

Frankly I thought I was in the "Twilight Zone". Not to say one could not be a good doctor but the office and equipment did not appear to have been updated in 40 years. Dr. did not listen to my complaints about both feet and only seemed interested in getting an X-Ray on his antiquated machine then sent me out for an MRI. He took X-Rays of both feet but only ordered MRI on one. I will return to him to get his diagnosis but I've already scheduled another appointment with another doctor.

The first visit with Dr. Young was incredible: efficient, comfortable, and informative. However, during the second visit he seemed to have forgotten everything we'd previously discussed (like he didn't take in-depth notes) and wasted much of my time asking the same questions. Still, the end result was eliminating my pain from combined Plantar Fasciitis and Bursitis, for which I am grateful.

Dr. Young is perhaps the best doctor that I have ever seen. He even sprays a pain killer on your foot before giving an injection. I didn't even know that he gave me the injection. He is the best and I highly recommend him to others.
February 3, 2016Andrea M.Verified patient
Everyone was so friendly and made me feel comfortable right away! Although I am always nervous when visiting any clinic.
Dr.Young seems very knowledgeable and experienced. He listend to me very carefully and explained everything that I needed to know with full details.

Waited less than 20 minutes to be seen, doctor was very attentive, explained in detail every step of the way when he had to numb my foot and cut out my nail. Highly recommend!
October 14, 2015Anne H.Verified patient
Dr. Young was most personable. His demeanor made me feel quite comfortable and at ease, especially being a NEW patient. He genuinely seemed concern. He discussed and explained things in a manner that made me feel comfortable and at ease. He ended consult by asking me if I had any questions for him.

All the girls there were wonderful. From the front desk staff, to Shelly in the back and Dr. Young was so comforting. I am recommending everyone I know to you. Thank you, God Bless!
May 28, 2015Toni B.Verified patient
Seems more interesting in talking than listening. Cut me off mid-sentence probably 10 times. Did not seem concerned with what bothered me most. When I tried to emphasize why i was there that info seemed inconsequential. Professional, seemed knowledgably but I'm not sure - this was my first visit - how many more I'll make. Staff was a pure pleasure to deal with.
