Debra E Young, DPM

I went to Dr. Young a few months back but there was a mix up with my insurance & it wasn’t accepted so I ended up going to a different Doc in my insurance network. I came back to Dr. Young because she’s the best and as it turns out, her prices are more than fair! Had I known that I never would have left. She’s great as well as Raquel, one of her assistants. I would highly recommend her!

Dr. Young epitomizes quality care, professionalism, and excellent customer service– such a great lady and her staff is also wonderful! Never in my life have I looked forward to a doctors appointment (which is saying A LOT considering I saw Dr. Young and crew bi-​monthly due to an achilles issue). Easiest Unilocal review I’ve ever posted.

If you want a dedicated, experienced and highly friendly and professional podiatrist, look no further than Dr. Debra Young. She performed back-​to-​back major bunionectomies (big and little toe) for my daughter as smooth as silk. Of note, after the 1^st surgery, which had unexpected complications (due to no fault of Dr. Young), Dr. Young personally came to our home to ensure step 2 of cleaning and replacing the bandages was handled with no issues. And she brought a delicious holiday cake! Thank you, Dr. Young for being an exemplary podiatrist. I recommend you to everyone who needs foot care.

Just left a great first appointment with Dr. Young. I went in with an old toenail injury, fearing the only news I’d get was that the nail had to be totally and permanently removed. Even though that would have been the most profitable route for Dr. Young to take, she took the time to offer me several options that preserve my ability to wear sandals this summer and for the rest of my life. I’m so pleased at her willingness to find a solution that really works for the patient — and I appreciate her warm, engaging style of communication. Highly recommended.

Incompetent, inconsiderate, unprofessional. At least she didn’t kill me!

I started having a constant pain on the bottom of my foot. I finally broke down and needed to see a podiatrist. I actually found Dr. Young on Unilocal.
What a great call! She knew immediately it was a neuroma. She was very thorough in explaining to me what it was and treatment.
I am a yoga and exercise instructor and am constantly on my feet. At first I was apprehensive in scheduling the in office procedure which would require stitches. I finally decided to just have it done.
I scheduled the procedure that was right in her office.
Dr. Young’ fabulous nurse prepared me for literally the 5 minute procedure that Dr. Young performed. Easy, breezy I was back to teaching my classes in a few short days and success with the procedure. No more pain!
From the a office staff that schedules the appointments to her wonderful nurse. I highly recommend Debra Young and Staff.

Dr. Young is absolutely the best. I signed up to Unilocal just to do this review. I saw Dr. Young after my previous podiatrist passed away. I only saw him once but realized he might have been trying to rip me off by him misdiagnosing me with nail fungus. Dr. Young correctly diagnosed my issue and my nails are looking much healthier. She also gave me complimentary laser treatments for my nails to ensure they would improve. Go see her!

Dr. Young is amazing! I went to see her after living with a painful plantar cyst for 15 years and I was convinced I would have to live the rest of my life like that.
Dr. Young was caring, listen to me and diagnosed the problem correctly from day one. And she did minor surgery in her office and now I am pain free for the first time in a long time.
I can’t recommend her enough, she even call me at home the day after the operation just to check on how I was feeling. It’s some times difficult to find a Doctor that is knowledgable and caring at the same time, so glad I found her.

Dr. Young is still amazing. It’s nearly two months post-​op on my first foot. She was there every step of the first stage of recovery, from getting me a better sized boot to calling me the day after just to check in. When I tripped over something during my third week and feared the worst, she got me in right away to look it over and keep me positive. She is fantastic! I am getting my other foot done during winter break and I feel great about keeping her as my surgeon and podiatrist.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Young. She took plenty of time to explain everything to me, and she seems genuinely concerned about her patients. She was very thorough and knowledgeable, and was able to handle my issue (draining a cyst on the ball of my foot) during the first appointment. She even gave me her cell phone number in case I had any follow-​up questions or concerns over the following weekend. I have never had a doctor who put me at ease like she did. I would highly recommend her!

Dr. Young was so knowledgeable and kind. She took the time to explain things to me two, three times, until I understood. It’s a lot to take in and she didn’t make me feel rushed at all. Her medical assistant and receptionist were wonderful too. Great experience.

She’s great! I stepped on a shard of glass from a light bulb — I was in pain.
Instead of performing surgery on my own foot (which, for some reason, my husband and mom thought was not the best idea :-), I contacted Dr. Young.
I sent an appt. request at 9:30 PM on Saturday evening. She responded the same evening with an appt for the next day — Sunday! Note: this is the weekend between X-​mas and New Year’s Day.
Professional, knowledgeable and efficient. She removed the glass shard. Provided useful information about caring for my feet. I will be back for additional services.
If you have problems with your feet or have health conditions that might impact your feet, see Dr. Young. She won’t disappoint.

Dr. Young is so great. I wish all health care providers were like her. She was very caring with my son and even did me a favor during his appointment.

I too had seen several podiatrists since 2009. Instead of writing «war and peace» about why I am on my 4^th podiatrist I’ll just tell you why Dr. Debra is so amazingly awesome.
After seeing 3 podiatrists that did nothing to help my painful ingrown toenails, I looked on Unilocal for a good podiatrist. I took a chance with Dr. Debra because, hey I was in agony anyway.
I CAN’T SAY ENOUGH HOW MUCH DR. DEBRA SAVED MY FEET. My first appointment turned into on the spot out-​patient surgery (probably not the proper terminology). She took care of half of my ingrown toenails — including the «don’t grow back» treatment that my 3^rd podiatrist didn’t provide.
I went back for the second treatment and VOILA — ingrowns gone, all but one toe is healed completely, and I’m pain free… I will recommend Dr. Debra to anyone and everyone that needs help with their feet or toes.
I wish I could give her a thousand stars!

This is my 4^th podiatrist, and the first one to offer me pain relief for my plantar faciitis that I have suffered with for many years. I’ve tried many different inserts/​products online and even orthotics from another podiatrist previously with no pain relief. I read that Dr. Young did a surgical procedure for Plantar Faciitis, and I had asked 2 of my previous podiatrists about it, and they seemed angry with my phone in question and told me «NO!» and hung up (it is a patented procedure and Dr. Young is certified to do it, other doctors to the full invasive surgery that can be harmful to your foot health down the road). Podiatrists I’ve dealth with out of major hospitals would rather treat your problem with cortisone shots, pain medication, and useless physical therapy. It just doesn’t work and covers up the problem and eats away at your insurance.
Dr. Young started me off with some new therapy techniques and also a therapy device that I was able to take home for a trial (and eventually keep) which made a huge difference in relieving my plantar faciitis pain and help with healing. She also fitted me with a pair of orthotics that are the best I’ve even had, the arch support is amazing and I can’t live without them. I went to Dr. Young with the impression I was going to have to get the surgery, but she found alternate ways to help me get better and saving the surgery as a last resort. The pain in my left foot is 100% resolved and I have some pain left in my right foot (maybe I’ll need the surgery one day, but so far so GREAT), but I went from a pain level 10 to a 2, and I would recommend Dr. Young to anyone with foot problems, ESPECIALLY Plantar Faciitis because many podiatrists do not have a good solution — and the major surgery they offer (more invasive than the Kobe Isoguard) can cause you major foot problems down the road if you do your research.
Thank you Dr. Young!

I broke my foot and went in to see Dr. Young. She told me I would be put in a walking cast for 3 months and it would be in the next day. We waited for the phone call that finally came day after it was suppose to. When I went to go pick it up, the receptionist just handed the walking boot to me. Dr. Young wasn’t even going to help me put it on. So wanting a little more attention on my broken foot, I got a second opinion. I did in fact need to be in a hard cast for 1 month and the walking boot for 1 month. When my follow up appointment time came, that I had called and cancelled, I got a phone call. They wanted me to get a 1,000 bone stimulator that wouldn’t even be in for 2 more months and didn’t remember that I cancelled my appointment. So needless to say, she might be good with in-​grown toenails but broken bones she is not. Complete waste of my 50 co pay.

Dr. Young is accommodating with scheduling. She is also very thorough, communicates well, and explains all the options available in a professional, yet down-​to-​earth manner. She does not rush.
I had been bothered by a twisted ankle for a couple months. After eliminating various causes, she recommended, and expertly administered, a cortisone shot. The next day I went on vacation and walked for miles and hours on uneven streets, sand, and some moderate hiking: my foot did not give me any trouble the entire trip.

Dr. Debra Young has been my podiatrist for several years and has helped me with everything from orthotics to surgery.
All my experiences have been positive and she has even cured foot pain that I thought would never go away.
I like her approach and have always felt that she’s given me the best and most modern care available. I would not go anywhere else.
Five stars for Dr. Young.

Dr. Young helped me with great orthotics! As a runner my feet are everything. After having trouble with my previous orthotics (from a different doctor) Dr. Young suggested using a «kinetic wedge» as part of the orthotic and this was the key to getting me out running again. Thank you very much Dr. Young!

I’m training for a half-​marathon in NYC on the 20^th, but have been sick the last week so am in panic-​train mode now. I really messed up my feet a few days ago and called Dr. Young. She was able to set up a next-​day appointment.
When I got to her office, it was bright and clean — she and I were the only ones there, and she took incredible care of me. I’d never been to a podiatrist before, but she made me feel comfortable and listened to me (slightly) rant about my feet.
She then got right to work, and already I can tell an improvement with my feet. I’m going back on Monday for a check up, but definitely wanted to go ahead and write the review. She’s amazing!
