Dr. Young is an exceptional primary care physician. From my very first visit, she made me feel comfortable, listened to, and truly cared for. She is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable, and she takes the time to explain everything in a way that makes you feel informed and at ease. I feel relieved and thankful to have found a doctor I trust and genuinely feel good about seeing. Dr. Young's Nurse Max provided excellent follow-up care. He was prompt, professional, and very thorough in his communication. His quick responses and attention to detail made the process easy and reassuring. Max is a true asset to the practice.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
