My daughter first needed braces and headgear when she was about 8 years old. Dr. Young was so gentle with her, and explained what she needed to do in a way that made sense to her. We continued to see him through that first phase, then again for her second phase beginning when she was around 13. As always, he took time to make sure she understood the goals and what her role was. He is very thoughtful with his patients and really wants them to understand what he is doing and why. He is highly skilled, very efficient and he appears to take interest in each patient . I have recommended him to many of our friends and will continue to do so.
