Dr. Baldwin Young and nurse Ivy were two of the kindest, personable, and most helpful providers I ever saw. I liked both of them VERY much! Dr. Baldwin Young spent an hour with me going over my medical history, discussing my surgical options and the best way to care for myself with my conditions meal wise for after the visit. Nurse Ivy was so adorable and I really enjoyed speaking with her. She made sure all my meds were correct and was so professional but easy to talk with. I look forward to any future visits with Dr. Baldwin Young and nurse Ivy!
