Dr. Young’s care philosophy is shaped by both his personal and professional experiences. Having been a patient himself after a femur fracture, he understands the importance of treating the whole person, not just the diagnosis. He emphasizes empathy and strives to consider all aspects of his patients' lives when developing treatment plans.

Dr. Young is committed to providing personalized care, helping his patients manage chronic conditions and addressing immediate illnesses and injuries. His goal is to ensure that his patients stay healthy through preventive care and effective management of both long-term and short-term medical needs.

Coming from a family of physicians, Dr. Young initially explored a career in finance. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Clemson University and worked in financial management for several years, but he felt the need to make a more meaningful impact in people’s lives. He decided to pursue medicine and considers it the best choice he ever made. What he enjoys most about his work is going home every day knowing that, no matter how challenging the day may have been, he did his best to improve his patients' lives.

Outside of his practice, Dr. Young enjoys spending time with his family and dogs, learning about history, and being on the water. A proud Clemson Tigers fan, he also loves cheering on his team during football season.
