Derek DeYoung, PAC

Derek is fantastic- very pleased with the care. As a medical professional, I think the overcrowding, lack of social distancing is alarming in the office. More than 6 at a time on elevator is not acceptable. Very poor office policies during this pandemic. Would surely not recommend anyone go to office at this time.

Didn’t fell a thing. He did an oustanging job on my knees.

One of the most pleasant PAs I have encountered. Good people skills. He gave me a cortisone shot in each knee, and provided much comfort for a very painful procedure.
