After a thorough review and research into Knoxville Gastrointestinal Physicians, I was not disappointed at all , in fact delighted to find a person I felt I could trust with my health and well being. The Dr. Listened and responded with kindness and integrity. Almost unheard of these days. I would recommend him highly, even just from the initial interview.

Nurse was very businesslike & efficient. Misunderstanding about my appointment time cause me to wait quite a while. Everything moved extremely fast. It seemed rushed. We are running test so hopefully any questions that I have now will be answered at that time.

Dr. Young is very personable and at the same time INTENSE. My last appointment he sat face-to-face to me and listened intently to every word I said. I felt like we were the only 2 people on the planet. He listened, he diagnosed, he prescribed, and we scheduled further testing. I can't say enough good things, GREAT THINGS, about Dr. Young and his assistant.

I waited about five months to see Dr. Young because of his excellence. But in the past, I would have seen him writhin a week of calling. He did prescribe medication in the meantime and he was very caring when during my appointment.
