About John David Young, DO

Care Philosophy I became a doctor later in life. This is a second career for me, and it's something that I look forward to doing for the rest of my life. I chose family medicine because you see a little bit of everything. I enjoy getting to see the entire spectrum of patients, from pediatrics to geriatrics and everything in between. We get to know patients and their family members as well. Oftentimes I care for the entire family. It's great to embark on that journey with a patient throughout their life. I'm very upfront--I don't sugarcoat things. I'm not gruff, but I do involve patients in their own care. I give them options and let them make decisions along the way. It's not me just dictating to them. It's us coming to a mutual agreement as to how things will go. I like them to take responsibility for their health and know why we recommend what we do so that we can improve their health overall.

        I am not sure the physician thoroughly examined inside my left ear. The scope did not feel like it was in far enough to view the tympanic membrane, its swelling and fluid behind it.
