Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great patient care.
Great patient care and very thorough. He helped me cure my hypothyroidism and my body did a full 180 with my hormone replacement. It’s rare to find a doctor like him.

I've mainly seen Bob Young, P.A. for Dr. South. My initial impression, was mediocre with Mr. Young, his bedside manner could use a little improvement. I waited to go back again. Once again not impressed, but this time I realized it was not him, but me who took things incorrectly. He was not trying be mean, but instead showing concern for my health and well being. He went on to successfully put me on the right track to regaining control over my health. Kudos! to you BOB. Thanks

Had three different situations where the prescription or the appointment was not correct. When discussing these, I got a frank answer of pushing through as many patients per day as possible. Good at diagnostics, very well read on diseases and medicines, honest. Just not focused on the patient's needs. Not holistic in his approach at all.
