Leading up to and following surgery under Mr Young in 2021, I have found him to be very professional but also very caring and understanding at the same time. I feel that he genuinely has my best interests and health at heart and will do his up most to help preserve my sight, thoroughly explaining his concerns and potential procedures when necessary.
