This is my first time visiting this location and doctor. I was very nervous to start at a new place but the staff was very welcoming and friendly. When Dr Youngblood came into my room I noticed his demeanor was off but I let it go. He had had his PA come in prior to give him a heads up about my issues and she was kind and asked many questions. So when he came in I automatically assumed he knew my case. He didn’t know much … which surprised me. But I thought he is so busy that he didn’t get a chance to see my file. So again I let it go but his bed side manners just made me feel like he was upset at me. I hope he knows many of us aren’t comfortable with our situation and that he takes the chance to introduce himself and make the situation a bit more relaxing. We all have difficult days.

Great experience with Dr. Youngblood. He is friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. He gave me excellent advice and a helpful treatment plan for my ankle injury, and I’ve already seen great improvement. Very thankful for his care and support.

The type of doctor that you truly believe can help! Doesn’t dismiss what you have to say, and really listens.

always five star. He knows what he’s doing from every aspect.. one of my favorites is how detailed of an explanation he offers on certain things if I ask because I want to learn something as well as understand my injury just that much better.
