Dr. Wade Maxwell Young:

I am so very thankful to Dr. Young for saving my life. He’s been my doctor now going on 5 years. I am not one to go to a doctor for aches or pains. Just regular routine visits. On August 30th, 2017 I went to my regular appointment not feeling well. Described that I have been having pains in my stomach that lead to my chest. He immediately checked my blood pressure and called 911 for an ambulance. Unbeknownst to me what I thought was minor was in fact a heart attack. A month later I had another one. Spent 5 days in HSC and it was ultimately ruled as a stress heart attacks that I have been having. He has since monitored me closely and all throughout this Covid pandemic he has called to check on my blood pressure and stress level. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to this caring human being I call my doctor.
