She caused me to miss out on about 6 weeks of my life! Did not listen to my symptoms. The meds she prescribed made my headaches worse. When I called her nurse, she dismissed them as rebound headaches even though I had not been taking meds before. They gave me more meds. Headaches got worse & 1 week after first seeing her I was admitted to hospital for 3 days where she figured out nothing. Turned out I did not have migraines (transformed or otherwise). The meds were not at all needed, nor were the 2nd & 3rd MRI's or lumbar puncture. I later discovered her notes in my chart were wrong!

I can't stand her. I went in for ms testing. I had a detailed history, that I wrote. She didn't even bother to read it. She blew off all my previous history of problems. Only caring about right now. She didn't spent long with me at all. I came back after the nerve test. She seemed very annoyed, like I was wasting her time. She was mad because I hadn't done the mri yet. She then totally blew me off. Saying all my problems were caused by minor nerve damage, saying I am most likely dieabetic, even thou I been tested many times for that. I asked her about ms. She laughs at me and goes that wouldn't do that. Like I was the biggest idiot for even asking. I then find out that the mri she ordered was the wrong one. I needed a contrast mri and she didn't order that. She couldn't care less, she doesn't take you serisouly, she totally blows you off. Has to be one of the wrost docs . Don't go to her!

I have been seeing Dr. Younger since 2001 when diagnosed with MS. She is the most caring and compassionate doc I have seen. Always has time for me and listens to my issues MS related or not. Her and her nurse Wendy make a great team. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a neurologist!

I have just left Dr. Younger's office. After taking 4 weeks see me twice for 15 minutes personally and once with a "testing" doctor (took an hour), I am completely certain she gave my diagnosis less time than she spent with me. Her explanation of the diagnosis was simply to read the MRI report and dismiss me. Upon prompting, she recommended I see a pain specialist, since she "does not do that". I am left fairly confident that Dr. Younger wasted 4 weeks of my time and burned through my insurance on this issue. Now I'm left knowing the very best thing for my health is to see someone else and pay out of pocket. My referring GP is going to get an ear full for making such a poor recommendation. Note that these rating are at least 50% "basic retail scheduling", when what's critically important is the healthcare you are provided. Staff was fine but what I really needed was health care, which I did not receive.

I don't think Dr. Younger has very good diagnostic skills. She completely missed the actual problem I had, my primary care doctor later diagnosed the actual problem.

Dr. Younger seemed to have had an instant diagnosis of migraines and refused to consider anything else. Unfortunately, Dr. Younger was dismissive of other symptoms and a brain MRI report that included a sinus cyst. Within a few minutes and even fewer questions asked, she was writing a prescription for Topamax 25mg. I explained that what I've been experiencing was unlike any migraine I've had. She then told me she herself was experiencing a migraine. When I asked if this medicine addressed the tremors in my right arm, she then asked with a rude tone if that was my primary complaint. And followed up with "do you want to ignore your headaches?" and "I don't see your tremor so there's nothing else I can do, I'll refer you to a movement disorder clinic". My GP said he could not rule out MS, but she wouldn't even consider it; even with a numerous symptoms. What my GP and I were looking for is to rule out MS with other testing. We will continue to ask for help, but not from Dr. Younger.

One of the most disinterested doctors I've ever met. Went to her in 2006 for symptoms that seemed to be TIA related. She looked at MRI's and said she had no idea what my problem was. Prescribed medication for tremors and hustled out. Three years later I had a major stroke. There was evidence of older minor strokes on CT and MRI. I would never recommend her.

Dr. Younger seemed interested and helpful the first time I saw her. The next two visits were terrible. She had no idea why I was there and either she or her staff had not obtained the test results that were the reason I was following up with her. She told me that sometimes people just have headaches, can't walk, etc. and never know why. Dr. Younger said she had no idea what could cause my symptoms, but gave me information on another neurologist who "might be able to think of something."
