Everybody from the front desk to Dr Young were very friendly. The procedure was effortless. The whole expirence from arrival to departure was about a hour and 15 mins. This was my 1st time and the whole staff put me at ease. Thank you
Very professional. Explained procedure and findings in an understandable verbiage.
Dr. Young put me at ease immediately and seemed concerned about my issues. Would definitely recommend him.
I have to share my great experience from start to finish with Dr. Young and the team at Richmond Gastroenterology today! I was greeted warmly and checked in quickly at the front desk. I didn’t have to wait long before I was brought back to a room. The young lady who took my vitals was nice and professional. Dr. Young came in shortly after and was truly a breath of fresh air. His bedside manner was just fantastic and he was extremely knowledgeable in his area of expertise. He talked to me like I had been coming to him for years and made me feel so comfortable. He walked me out of the exam room over to the scheduler, which really gave it the human touch. Lisa was an absolute doll and should always be the last smiling face that everyone sees. They run a tight ship and know how to treat patients. Also, special thanks for the tip to get on the wait list for earlier appointments…I got in a month earlier than expected when a time slot opened up!
Great experience minus drinking the stuff to make you poop but it worked and it was a very pleasurable experience. Great doctors and nurses.
Excellent! He took the time to talk to me and to figure out what was going on. He didn’t want to do any unnecessary tests. I wasn’t rushed out of the room like you are with a lot of other doctors. He had excellent “bedside manners.” I would give him six stars if I could. Somebody like Chris Young deserves that.
Dr. Young has fantastic bedside manner. Listened to hear, not just to speak.
Very professional, caring and thorough…overall a great experience.
It was my first visit to see Dr. Young. He is a very good Dr. If you have any gastrointestinal issues, I recommend him. When I told him my Wife wanted to know how young he was, he just looked at me and laughed. David Shaw
