Went yesterday for my breast implants. Everyone was very very kind and helpful from start to finish. I was very very nervous and panicking on the inside because I've never done anything like this to my body but im thankful my nurses for reassuring me I will be okay and I wouldn't be hurting very much. They were even generous enough to stick me with lidocaine before they stuck the iv in me.

Thank you so much Christy for my pre op visits and for proving so much advice and knowledge of the procedure. Thank you Brittany for taking care of the background work for me. Thank you Denise for being my best friend and calming me the day of surgery I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you Valerie for sedating me and preparing me for the operation you are the bomb.com. thank you ladies in the front for being so polite and sending reminders when needed.and lastly thank you Dr young and Dr sheia(I'm not sure how to spell) for being the best surgeon and anesthesiologist I could ask for. I dont have pain at all and I am so happy with the results. Thank you everyone

Dr Robert and his staff are amazing. I had some issues with my body and my breast aug. dr Robert did everything he could to help and make sure I was taken care of. Everyone's body is different when it comes to cosmetic surgery and unfortunately mine was that body. But Dr Robert did great in making sure I was ok. He did everything he could and I love my results. The nurses are great also for putting up with my mood swings too LOL.

The staff is lovely. Very friendly and informative. I came in for a consultation scheduled for 2:30, didn't see the Doctor until 4. Once the dr and the nurse walked in, he opened my robe and said "yikes" Seriously? I have a breast deformity, and this is the first word that comes out of your mouth? I was mortified. He came across uncaring and condescending.

This was my first time physically exposing my breasts in this way. It's taken me years to gain enough self confidence to actually proceed with an augmentation because I felt too embarrassed. To put it frankly, this was a very traumatic experience and I would never recommend Dr. Young to anyone.

Used Dr. Young for a few services and received 100% perfect service. Found his staff to be professional and Dr Young to be matter-a-fact and to the point. Exactly what I would expect or want in a physician. I have referred over 20 women to him over the years and every single one has been happy with their results.

I absolutely love Dr. Young and his staff. And now the new office is amazing. Very comfortable. If you've been to the old office off Stone Oak, you're in for a surprise at the new location. It's gorgeous. I've been a patient of Dr Young's since 2009. You don't find staff like his just anywhere either. Always fun and you feel like they're friends. I feel they have my best interest in mind and therefore I trust them.

I've been doing the cool sculpting lately with Kristi e and I love it. I've done my chin and now I'm doing my thighs. It's not been the right amount of time to see full results from the chin but I think I'm seeing a nice difference already. So do those that know me. I'll update this review when I have full results from my chin to my things. And anything else in between. Dr Young recently did a lift and a remove and replace my first implants.

I'm a cancer patient that had It in my face so I've lost so much confidence and I look a little scary where they cut it out of my eye and nose. But I'm alive. And everyone here at @Dr. Young Forever is giving me confidence and are coming up with solutions to help me feel more like myself and Comfortable in my own skin. Thank you everyone!

I don't feel like my time was respected. I had a 9:30am appointment with Dr. Young at his new location in Shavano Park. Drove 1 hour to get to his office and waited for an hour in the waiting room. Never saw the doctor. We walked out. I don't appreciate being treated this way. If the doctor doesn't have time for me, please don't waste my time. My time is valuable.

My experience with Dr. Young and his staff was great. Every staff member welcomed me with open arms as soon as I entered the facility. Dr. Young was very friendly and answered all of my questions without hesitation during the first consultation. I had a second consultation to determine the implant size a few weeks later. The nurse listened to my concerns and took her time with me.

She did not rush me to make a decision. Once Dr. Young entered the room, he answered all of my questions and gave me his professional opinion on what my size implants would work for my body. I'm now three week post op and I love my results! I'm so happy I chose Dr. Young as my surgeon.

Will never go to this dr again. Should've done more research n wish I would have seen his bad reviews. Had my surgery in june 2019. Right away I noticed one side of my tummy tuck looked awful n my belly didnt look right. Then one of my breast looked different. Was told by dr young that my breast settled out of the pocket n my tummy tuck needed revision. Was so disappointed with staff also they would not return my calls after surgery felt like they got my money so wouldn't bother with me.

My belly still hasnt healed right n looks ugly. I have to pay again for him to fix his mistakes. Went to dr lawton for second option was told by him that there is no suck thing as coming out of the pocket cuz the dr is the one who created it. Will never recommend dr young to anyone n hope with my review will help someone else avoid wat I'm going thro

I highly recommend Doctor Young his staff and everyone in his office is very helpful and friendly. I had been wanting to do plastic surgery for a while but after reviewing Doctor Young's 30 years of experience I trusted him and I am so happy with my results! Thank you Doctor Young for changing my life I am so happy with my body!

I definitely recommend this office and their highly trained staff. Had Piqo4 laser tattoo removal done. This was my first visit to Dr. Young's new location in Shavano Park. The new office is beautiful and modern. The staff, as usual, is polite and welcoming. There was gentle music playing in the reception area that helped calm my nerves before my procedure.

I saw Christy for this visit. She did a wonderful job with the Piqo4 laser. And this was the most tolerable treatment session I have had. All thanks to Christy making me feel comfortable and listening to my needs. Many thanks to Dr. Young's office!

I have had zero negative issues with Dr. Young. In all the times that I've gone, I have not experienced longer than normal wait times for a doctor's office. I have been reading a lot of reviews here, and on other websites, where the reviewer says that Dr. Young is rude. I can understand why you might have that idea if you are used to a doctor that sits and chats with you. Dr.

Young is not like that. He's not going to ask how the family is, how vacation was, etc. He comes in, he examines you, and he recommends what he thinks is the best course of treatment. He answers any and all questions you have. He is very direct, and he gets to the point. I honestly believe that this comes from his prior military experience. If you have been in the military, or you were raised in a military family, you know that they don't waste time if possible.

I personally appreciate that about him. He never once tried to upsell me. I went in, told him what I wanted, he told me what would/would not work, and how to get the best results. His staff are wonderful, personable people. When I went for my procedures, the nurse that prepped me for surgery and I shared a lot of great laughs. She was super sweet.

The girls that were helping me when I was woken up from my surgery were also very wonderful towards me. The anesthesiologist was even friendly. we chatted for several minutes. I felt totally at ease from the time I checked in, until the time I went home. The front desk ladies have been so very friendly and warm, too. My post-op visits have been seamless and thorough. I will use this office in the future if I consider any further procedures.

I went for a breast augmentation consultation and have never been treated so poorly. I was called back pretty quick, however when Dr. Young came in he wasn't very friendly at all. I had 2 different size implants in the bra they had me put on and all he said was " so you like the 650cc better", he didn't explain much of anything. He did however pull down the bra and say "let me see what I'm working with".

Talk about embarrassing! Once my so called consult was done I was taken to this bimbo who tried to get me to commit to scheduling an appointment and told me that she would knock off $500 if I booked at that time. I told her that I wasn't ready to commit and her response was "yeah that's what I was getting at". I feel like they only saw me as a dollar sign and could care less about anything else! There's no way in hell I would ever trust this Dr. with my body!

My appointment was at 2pm and it is now 4PM. I understand the doctor has a busy schedule but an hour to two hour wait is not acceptable. I'm here because I'm experiencing pain few months later and yet I'm here waiting two hours to be seen. - - - just got seen and the pain is from me over working myself. Thank God, was advised to take pain reliever. I'm not even satisfied with the two times I have been under the knife within the past two years. $7,000 just gone down the drain.

My boobs look nothing like my two friendsI referred! Mines don't even look like I paid to get them done. First go around I was botched and laughed at even Dr. Decherd said it. Then got a bilateral stitch revision and still I'm not satisfied. Then I have to go under the damn knife yet again. 3TIMES to achieve the look I WANT is ridiculous!

When I first came I was told I didn't need a lift I was fine by Dr. Young who has been doing this for several years then told me I do. Just overall not SATISFIED! When you get your boobs done you expect to wear any swim suit you want, well I CANT!

Awful awful! Don't use him! I had my breast done 6 years ago, and I have regretted it ever since! Dr. Young had horrible bed side manors, doesn't give you advice on what he thinks will work. I listen to the nurse and got my implants on top of my muscle. She said because I had too much excess skin it would be better. I asked Dr. Young what he thought he said "sure that will work." What a huge mistake!

Now my implants are moving around and I have lumps every where! And to fix them of course now it's double the price! He's only in it for the money, doesn't care one bit about his client. Not only did he botched me he ruined my friends breast also! One is bigger than the other!

Spend a little more money and go to a different surgeon. I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Young and I regret not doing more homework on him and his anesthesiologist. A surgery that should've lasted 10+ years I'm having redone after less than four years. All of his nurses and secretaries are pleasant and professional except for Sandra.

She has a habit of hanging up on people, myself and other doctors assistants when we just expect her to do her job. I have had to make extra trips up to Dr Young's office to release my paperwork because she makes things much more complicated than they should be. She will be nice to you in the office but incredibly rude and unprofessional on the phone. It puzzles me how Dr. Young still has a practice after all of his lawsuits and botched surgeries. Save yourself the pain, literally.

I am back again to rant and rave about Dr. Young and his awesome surgical team. I am six days out from upper body lipo and so far a great recovery. Again, no nausea ( thank you Dr. Melish ). I am extremely happy with my results as I am still swollen so I can not imagine how much greater I will look after a few more weeks. Dr. Young's team surgical team made sure I was comfortable and well prepared for every step of the procedure. Thank you Dr. Young you are the absolute greatest!

I had a great experience with Dr. young and his staff. I was nervous going in as I've had this done before and developed a capsule around the implant. They were comforting, friendly and Really accommodating. This time I'm a day out and I can tell they both look the same and I'm so excited for the follow up and to start massaging them.

I normally would not write a review because I am a professional with my own business and I can understand miscommunications and personality differences. During my consult I felt rushed and knew my priorities and expectations were not heard. He decided right then what he would do. No matter what I was asking or wanting to discuss. I felt his dress/ appearance was unprofessional. Altering or correcting a part of your body is a very personal journey. Surgery is serious no matter the reason. He did not care to see mammogram results. I am not going to proceed with Dr. Young.

I called the office of Dr. Robert N. Young today to set up an appointment for my daughter who had been hit by a car when she was crossing the street in New York last year. The woman who answered the phone quickly set her up for Tuesday, May 31, 2016 when the doctor could see her. She asked what she needed done. I explained to her that my daughter had been struck by a car as she was crossing the street and she ended up with a broken nose.

She said "well, we don't take insurance, you would have to pay for the surgery yourself". I explained to her that we would pay but just needed the doctor to give us a letter with what he did to her nose to fix it and we would then submit the paperwork to the insurance company. She said "we won't do that and can't give you anything like codes or what was done.

This is plastic surgery. So you will need to find another doctor who takes insurance". I repeated that we would pay the doctor for the surgery but just needed a letter to turn in to the insurance company of his diagnosis and what he did. She rudely replied "you'll have to find another doctor then cause we won't do that. You have to pay for the procedure yourself!" She was rude and lacked listening skills!

I guess the fact that the doctor had availability to see my daughter on Tuesday just means that he must not be that good. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise! I'll find another doctor who does not have rude and inconsiderate staff! I would give this zero stars, but since you have to select something, I have no choice but to give 1 lame star!

Doctor do not explain about down time or side effect for surgery if you do not ask. he came the room with wife or old lady( could be a one of nurse) She care about herself, she was looking mirror all the time while I am counseling. They charging too much. Thank god, I got see different doctors.

The worst experience of my life I paid this man a lot of money and I'm no where near satisfied with my breast and on top of it all he didn't open my left pocket wide enough no one of my breast is higher then it's supposed to be nd it's harder bad I went to another breast doctor they said I have 2 different types of implants fucking terrible

The worst nightmare of my entire life. Besides death of a woman on the operating table.(it was on the San Antonio news) within three months of that, he left me with extreme disfigurement. I have a deep hole in my chest on one breast, and he cut off my nipple and areola. The other side barely closed and I lost my nipple. He told lie after lie. The last lie, was where he failed to discuss with me, or inform me either before or after that when he took my implants out, he put one in that he found in the office during the surgery.

I did not find out until many months later when it showed up by an Aurora Breast MRI. We confronted him and then he admitted to it after the fact. He offered to cut me open in the office and slip it out. This man is not someone you want to give your money to, or entrust your body to for any reason. Rest assured I will not go away. This truth with all the gory details in photos will be revealed on national television, in a blog and in a book.

If you put yourself in his hands, don't say you weren't warned. I really wish I could leave a positive review, but when a business completely destroys your life and doesn't care, then I believe that business practices should be put out there for others to make more informed decisions before they put themselves in the hands of someone who has the potential to harm them.

Sure you will find a lot of beautifully written reviews out there, but if the Majority rules over the truth then something is really wrong. You are smart enough to understand that it is a piece of cake for businesses to have people write lovely reviews. If you are thinking of having plastic surgery, it is so important to research as much as you can.

I sincerely hope Yelp keeps this posted to be fair and to help even just one person from going through the nightmare I did. I understand that there are businesses that can be paid to erase all negative reviews for different companies. Be warned, that plastic surgery can be very dangerous and is not to be taken lightly. Love yourself as you are.

I got breast augmentation about ten years ago and everything went very smoothly. Dr Robert young and his staff were very professional and provided me with lots if information. I've had zero complications or issues with my surgery. His work was everything I could of dreamed of and I'm looking forward to my next surgery since it's already been a decade. Ive received many compliments and ive recommended quite a bit of people including my younger sister and their work has also been great.

I also loved the facility and it's cleanliness. UPDATE: I had my second breast augmentation two months ago and again I had a great experience. I went a little bigger and I love the new size! No complications whatsoever and everything went smoothly. I had little to no pain in the recovery process and I would definitely come back to him in the future for other procedures.

The ladies in the front and Jennifer were very welcoming and helpful!! Dr. Young is a man of few words but very nice! I'm so excited for my procedure on the 16th!

I recently had a full mommy makeover (tummy tuck, lipo w/fat transfer to the buttock & breast augmentation) with Dr Young and I couldn't be more happy or impressed with his work! His work definitely gets a gold star with the amazing work he did on me. I have recommended him and will continue to do so.
Tiffany Najera
about 15 yrs ago I heard about Dr Young and seen a lot of his work through my clients. I seen how good of a cosmetic surgeon he is. I would constantly tell anyone that brought up they wanted something done to go to him. Well now it was my turn and I absolutely love what he did for me. I'm happy again and I'm only 1 month post-op and I look amazing. Extremely happy with my results and will continue to send people his way.
