Young John K DO Inc A Multi-Specialty Medical Ctr

I have known Dr Young as a physician who enjoys a considerable reputation among his peers in the South Bay medical community, and more so still from among the various staffs and medical personnel he must work with as he enjoys privileges at most hospital in the area. That is high praise indeed from industry professionals who see doctors regularly and are in a position to evaluate their practices.
But that is a general observation, regarding the good doctor; on a more specific and personal note, I”ve recently seen Dr Young during 3 visits I made to his clinic for treatment for bi lateral sciatic pain. I was getting on my own last nerves, needing immediate help where none was forthcoming through my own network of care. In short I walked in and said I hurt and wanted a cortisone shot. An affable guy, Dr Young screened my past history and discussed the treatment with me fully before agreeing to give me the injection. the treatment carried over to two visits at which time he became skeptical that the shots would provide the relief I sought. He recommended the next step at that point is an MRI of the lumbar region to really see the affected region more clearly. That is where we are today. I have the results and will meet with him soon to discuss my options.
Listen, he sees a lot of people everyday, people he cannot help are referred out to other physicians may be able to help where he could not. I would suggest to new patients that they check their treatment preconceptions at the door. This isn’t Kaiser Permanente. You’re. Not gonna get 15 minutes and shown the door. He’s genuinely there to help You… and you… and you…, and you. He’s a healer… that’s what they do.

I went to Long Beach Memorial Hospital they sent me home with cough syrup when I was sick just so happens that dr. Young found out I had double pneumonia he pretty much saved my life while Long Beach memorial tried to cover it up I hate to say it but dr. Young is the best ever five stars is just not enough when it comes to a life being saved

There have been instances in my life where I find myself at death’s door or looking like death… pick one, and I’ve been there. When those terrible moments happen, I come here ASAP.
I have been seeing Dr. Young for YEARS for anything, the list is as follows:
–dying of mysterious sickness
–medial sided ankle sprain
–weight management (IM GETTING FAT DR!!!, HELP!!!),
–chemical peel
–foot therapy
–blood work
–ear infection from hell!
etc.
The list goes on and on. And every single time, he has been able to make it better or make it go away. He knows exactly what’s wrong with you and knows exactly how to cure it. He is my secret weapon!
I have been to multiple doctors who have given me the wrong medication or make me jump through hoops for this and that, but not Dr. Young.
He is professional, concise, and ALWAYS right.
He has been in business for 25 years PLUS. I am telling you that if you’re in business for this long, it’s for a REASON!!!
Staff here are polite and very warm. ANDDDDD, the most important, Mayra (remember her name!), will fit you in… she will move mountains for you. Trust me, I know!
Oh, and I don’t want to brag or anything but If anyone has ever had the pleasure of looking at me, my skin is AMAZING! I do not wear make-​up and I always get asked what do I do for it… THIS PLACE… exactly. I look like I’m 19;) So if you want to have clear, smooth, and youthful looking skin, best call them!!!
They do botox and get rid of stretch marks… next on my list:)
I trust these people with my life AND face… call em up:)
Cheers,
Coco

This review is based on my grandmother’s experiece. I have been taking my grandmother to see Dr. Young for many years. And my grandfather has recently started coming here as of last year. My grandmother is in her late 70s and have seen many doctors and she has always told me to take her back to Dr Young because he always gives her the correct diagnosis and medication.
My grandparents were recently involved in a car accident and was treated by Dr. Young. It is a great advantage that his small facility has all the proper equipment so that my grandparents were able to receive their therapy there. After several weeks of therapy their chest and back pains were greatly reduced. Thank you greatly Dr. Young.

The place is not as clean and organized as it should be but the staff is friendly enough and the doctor is very experienced and nice. This is his office but he also is contracted with other hospitals so sometimes he is not always in — so do call for an appointment. There’s usually always a full waiting room of patients. I see lots of patients over 50 and most of them have also been seeing doctor young for many years, which tells me a good deal about his service to them.
If you have patience and dont mind the wait or the uncleanness then I do recommend that Dr Young. He is an awesome doctor and will give you the proper diagnosis for your illness. My grandmother has never had to return to Dr. Young asking for a different medication because always he has given her the correct diagnosis and prescription. Highly recommended for grandmother’s and grandfather’s who are sick of being diagnosed with the wrong illness and being a guinea pig treatment.
Also, he speaks Chinese and broken KHMER! *two thumps up*

The doctor himself was nice enough. And spent some time to talk to me, but overall I have to give this place a 1.
I was recommended «randomly» to go here by the long beach medical hotline at St. Mary’s.
I called, and just needed to get a Hepititus shot to go on a trip to Asia. Well, I ended up not getting it because there wasnt enought time to take the shots and for it to be effective. It would have been nice if they would have told me this information beforehand so I didnt have to miss time at work and spend $ 120 for a 5 minute talk at the doctor.
But the bottom line is:
1. I lived in the Caribbean for 2.5 years. This was a dirtier clinic then the Caribbean.
2. It is old and run down in the rooms.
3. When I walked into the examine room, the paper was dirty.
4. They had a sharps box on the floor, it had like a bloody gauze or something next to it.
5. Overall, it was extremely dirty and not something that you should see in the US.
The staff was nice, the wait was long, but I wont go back because of overall how dirty the place is. And for a medical facilty this is unacceptable in my opinion. Therefore it gets a 1.

While I’m grateful for him saving my aunt’s life, the things that went on in this clinic… the 3 to 4 hour waits, the doctor bringing his personal problems into a completely unrelated conversation about my juvenile arthritis, leaving a needle on a unwiped table, then giving me a shot afterwards without sterilizing my skin, that needle turned my hand white which means it went into shock, he infected my hand from handling a door knob with his glove which caused a painful blue-​green lump, the nurse used a filthy biohazard waste bin lid as a table and then transferred the same needle to the couch I was sitting on before taking my blood. Worst of all; their radiologist left me under the x-​ray machine, clearly talking on his cell phone while taking my abdominal x-​rays.
I told the doctor. He cuts me off. «No, that’s impossible. It’s perfect.» The radiologist outright lied. He said that he was talking on the corded black phone used to call the front desk. The doctor believes him. I know what I saw. That phone is located near the door that leads into the x-​ray room. He had his back turned away from me, at the x-​ray machine, a cell phone up to his ear and body language that clearly said I don’t give a damn. He just left me there as the machine was powering down. Not only did this leave me with a burning and tingling sensation[1] for months, this also led me to a panic attack.
The doctor saw me as his last patient for the day. He misdiagnosed, ignored my panic attack for two hours and created an environment that led me into a mental breakdown. When he finally realized what was going on, he lengthily explained to my parents what was happening to me with no sense of urgency. His solution? A paper bag. This could have been a fatal mistake as I was born with a heart palpitation.[2] Then he had the nurse measure me with a pulse oximeter. Why? I have no idea because it couldn’t measure anything. My pulse was too high, the device created a beeping sound which caused my panic attack to worsen. He told me to breathe slower. If it was that easy, I would have done it already. Then he called me paranoid and neurotic right in front of me. He asked my parents. Surprise. They revealed I’ve never had a history of any of these.
Doctors are no longer supposed to take x-​rays of the abdominal area anymore unless something traumatic happens. When there’s an internal problem with the abdomen, you’re supposed to get an ultrasound taken. The reason for this is because diagnosing is about 75−80% more accurate.[3] Using x-​rays, you have to be exposed to far more radiation in order to see all the organs. For teeth and bones, that amount is anywhere between 0.15 to 0.5 a millisievert, for the abdominal area that number is 8 – 14 millisieverts. Ever wonder how much radiation nuclear power plant workers get exposed to? 20 millisieverts… in a single year.
Not only that, I was forced to take more x-​rays less than two days later. The doctor didn’t even say anything about it until the last second. I felt so uncomfortable and unsafe. They still made me go through with it. That burning sensation flared up again and stayed with me for the rest of the week. I felt nauseous. I went to the dentist for my check up the week after. When I walked past their x-​ray room, that burning sensation returned for another week.
You’re probably wondering, «Why did you wait so long?» The abdominal pain I was in was paralyzing to the point where I could barely speak. I had to take Golytely which took me out for Tuesday and Wednesday. The panic attack happened a day later. I went to go see another doctor on Friday. Unlike Dr. Young, who kept cutting me off and making me quite nervous, my new doctor reassured me. Five visits with Dr. Young and a vague nothingness. One visit with Dr. John S. Kim and now because of his great specific advice, I’m at ease.
«Why not report this negligence?» Problem is, there’s no evidence that’s admissible in court.
You have no idea how helpless and terrified I felt. The only reason why I came here was because I was forced to by my parents. They knew I hated this place yet they still made me go. Even after all this, everyone kept deflecting the genuine problems I had even though you’re supposed to take a problem solving attitude in the field of medical science. I didn’t even get an apology from anyone. Stay far, far away. Never again.
Oh and guess how much he charged us? Without insurance, $ 230. Guess how much a visit to the emergency room costs for the same exact things? $ 140. Worst of all, he’s aware of all these problems yet never does anything about them. When I told my new nurse what happened at this clinic, her eyes bugged out. No one should have to go through what I had to. I wouldn’t wish this place on my worst enemy.

I got a coupon for bikini laser hair removal in the mail from this company, and since I had paid much more for this procedure from another medical spa in the past, I thought I would give this place a try.
I called the receptionist, explained what I was looking for an made an appointment. I specifically told her that I knew about the procedure and wanted to get it done immediately for the price on the coupon. She scheduled me for two days later.
I arrived half an hour early knowing that I would likely have to fill out paper work. The place itself looks was quite messy. It looked as though they had put a little money into remodeling it (new floors, fancy mirrors, but the paint was peeling, the ceilings had water stains and what looked like mold. They placed me in a room and had me wait for about 45 minutes (plus the half hour that I was there early). While I was waiting the door to the opposite room was open, and I could see the doctor speaking with a patient. I glanced over, and he said something to me that I couldn’t quite make out. Something like, «Should we speak in Chinese? I’m just joking.» I asked myself, was he just rude to me? I wasn’t sure, but for gosh sakes, close the door when you are talking to a patient.
He finally came and begin to convince me to buy a package of procedures. I told him that I wasn’t interested in buying a package (yes, I know I need to go more than once to make it permanent, but I wasn’t sure I’d be pleased with this doctor and was not willing to fork over the money for a package deal). I was explaining this to him as his phone went off (text from daughter). He started reading it and telling me that it was his daughter… blah, blah, blah. I’m thinking, doesn’t he know to turn his phone off? At the least, glance and the text, and get back to work.
After letting him know (several times) that I wasn’t buying a package, he left and had the receptionist come back to tell me there was no time to do the procedure today. I told her it was all right with me, because I didn’t feel comfortable with this doctor or this place, and that it was a colossal waste of time.
Upon leaving, the waiting room was completely full at 6:30 p.m. Very strange hours for a doctor on a Friday night.
I went there thinking I save some money, but it’s certainly not a place worth the price, and quite frankly, it was a bit creepy.
