Patient Testimonial
-Hank K.“I have a condition that required surgery to both of my hands. I was fortunate to receive a recommendation from my P.C.P. that I see Dr. Curtis Young.
He took the time to explain the nature of my condition, the surgical procedure and the expected outcome. All the while addressing any questions or concerns that I had. The outcome of each surgery actually exceeded my own expectations.
Before and after each surgery was performed every member of Dr. Young’s support staff were top notch and extremely attentive to my needs.
After my surgeries, the expertise of the on-site physical therapists that were assigned to my case successfully guided me to achieve my recovery goals.
I can say without hesitation Dr. Young has given me back my hands. I am ever grateful to him and would recommend that anyone who is faced with a similar situation to trust Dr. Young.”
