William F Young JR.

Even with a known hormonal tumor, Dr. Young dismisses my concerns and will not listen. I am incredibly disappointed with the "care" I have received and will not be returning for my health's sake. He has not followed up and my polite email went ignored. I do not trust Dr. Young as my doctor.

Easily one of the worst doctors, if not the worst physician, I've ever met in a lifetime full of medical visits. He is arrogant, dismissive, condescending, downright rude, and unconscionably lazy. He enters appointments with preexisting strongly anti-patient biases and is simply unable to do even the bare minimum required by a job -- any job. He has 0 bedside manner, 0 compassion/empathy/care, 0 knowledge of his own specialty (or really, even medicine broadly), 0 willingness to try to assess/diagnose/treat/put in a bare minimum level of effort required by anyone who holds any employment, and 0 ability to be a human, much less a provider of healthcare. Not sure how this man is employed by a place as prestigious as Mayo Clinic; he's not worthy of even working at an 'under-the-table roadside clinic.' I would strongly encourage Mayo to reflect on the implications of having in their employ someone who stands so antithetical to their brand; it's damaging not just from a patient care perspective but also for their own financial bottom line.

Dr Young saved my life !!! He is extremely competent when it comes to his specialty !! He also teaches at the Mayo College of medicine. I was extremely offended by the previous rating giving him 1 star. The rant this person went on was full of untruths. Mighty sad. I hope they find the help they need.

Similar to the experience of many of the other reviewers on here, Dr. Young was extremely dismissive of my concerns & his answer to everything was to refer out to other specialties so as to avoid any effort on his part. Even if you've already seen other specialties who have referred you to endocrinology due to their suspecting you may have underlying endocrinological issues, Dr. Young will still deny that any symptom at all is related to hormones, so that he won't have to do his job. The way he dismisses every issue, you'd think absolutely nothing in the human body is a hormone. Unfortunately, he was also rude & condescending, which is really not okay, especially at a prestigious place like Mayo. If you're looking for someone with practical knowledge of endocrinology or a willingness to try to assess/diagnose/treat/put in an ounce of effort or even just exhibit a degree of empathy/bedside manner, then this is most likely not the provider for you.

Easily one of the worst doctors, if not the worst physician, I have had ever met in a lifetime full of incessant medical issues and visits. He has 0 bedside manner, 0 compassion/empathy/care, 0 knowledge of his own specialty (or really, even the field of medicine broadly), 0 willingness to try to assess/diagnose/treat/simply do his bare minimum job, and 0 ability to be a human, much less a provider of healthcare. Not sure how this man is employed by a place as prestigious as Mayo Clinic; he's not worthy of even working at an 'under-the-table roadside clinic.' Mayo, if you read these reviews, I strongly encourage you to reflect on the implications of having in your employ someone who stands so antithetical to your brand; it's damaging not just from a patient care perspective, but also for your own financial bottom line.

My experience fits with the other 1-star reviewers. I went with an open mind and regret not listening to the other reviewers. I wasted my time. He didn't do one test. He just looked at me and declared I was fine. I didn't go to Mayo for a difficult problem to be dismissed so carelessly. Even my endocrinologist at home thought I was in the right area. Other doctors I saw at Mayo ran endocrine tests because he wouldn't. I would NOT recommend him to anyone.

He is very nice and friendly but automatically told me my symptoms don't fall in the endocrine department. He even stoop as low as to tell me to starve myself. Not worth seeing. He was quick to write my symptoms off and shoo me out the door. I left feeling more depressed before I enter his office. So don't see him unless you want to feel crazy and depressed.

Dr Young is very nice and friendly but unless you have symptoms that Helen Keller could diagnose, don't bother going to see him. He isn't going to go out on a limb and try and figure out what is wrong with you. He will just refer you out for treatment of your symptoms.

He is the only doctor that I have been to that understood my condition. He knows his stuff and takes time to explain things and answer questions. I am so lucky my doctor referred me to him.

Does not "believe" in growth hormone deficiency.
