This is my first time writing a yelp review, but I really would like to share my amazing experience as I am very grateful. I needed to have a procedure done that I was very worried about after reading about it online. Every positive review of Dr. Young and his assistant Chin are true. They are everything and so much more in a gynecological practice. From the beginning, Chin has been on top of everything, extremely detail oriented, and has made scheduling/communication easy. Dr. Young in my first appointment never rushed me and took the time to answer every single one of my MANY questions. To say he is knowledgeable is an understatement. I feel fortunate to get to see him and can easily say he is the best gynecologist I have seen. He makes you feel like your symptoms, concerns, and thoughts all matter. He makes you feel heard, treats you with respect, and cares about you and the outcome. This has been very hard to find in my gynecological experiences. As for my procedure, I am blown away. I barely felt anything and he took my pain concerns very seriously. I am not afraid at all to get the procedure again, if ever needed, in the future with Dr. Young. He and Chin had me talking and laughing the whole procedure. 10/10 would do again. Thank you very much Dr. Young and Chin for all of your help and your continued care! Sincerely, "The soccer player" read more

Dr. Young is one of the best OBGYN's I have had. As a small practice, you get the attention and service of a large hospital. He is smart, knowledgeable, caring, considerate and gives you options for treatment and care. He listens to you and ensures you are comfortable with the information you have. As a "newer" resident to San Mateo I highly recommend him as he provides care and insight into your whole health. As a woman going through pre-menopause, he gave great insight into options to maintain my overall health. Chin is one of the best and is so kind, attentive and helpful. I feel as though I am their only patient. His experience and personalized approach is everything. read more

Dr Young has single-handedly restored my faith in doctors, especially in women's health. His assistant Chin is a delight and being able to text makes it so easy to book appointments and communicate rather than calling and leaving voicemails, never knowing when you'll hear back. My first appointment with him, he was very thorough and after assessing my health he recommended supplements to help maximize my fertility going into my late 30's and ordered a complete panel of blood work. When I wanted an ultrasound down, instead of sending me to another lab he did it himself and he's very gentle and not rushed at all. I hope he doesn't retire anytime soon because he is an absolute gem of a doctor. read more

Exceptional experience!! This should be how a dcotor's appointment should be... From the moment i called to make an appointment, Chin, at the front desk, was very pleasant and welcoming. She called me yesterday, even though their office is not open to let me know that she had checked my insurance and so i was able to see Dr Young today. Dr Young is very down-to-earth. When he saw me waiting in the lobby, he introduced himself, said hello and told me i will be seen shortly. He was extremely knowledgeable, backed by his 20 + yrs experience in OB GYN, he was humble, receptive and very thorough. We took every aspect into consideration as far as history, symptoms, lifestyle, diet, supplements, etc and gave me specific things to work on. I feel so blessed and grateful to have found him. If i can rate them a 10, it is a 10!!! read more

I don't give 5 stars too often....but this practice deserves it. I went there earlier in 2021....and I have been to many OBGYN's on the peninsula...trust me they are not that great when it comes to older women. They are only interested in babies....and quite frankly they are fairly dismissive toward women who no longer bare children. However Dr Young was different. He fixed a problem in his office that I have had for years....WTF? You mean to tell me that NONE of the OBGYN's I went to had a clue...or is it they just didn't care.... I am so grateful to have found Dr Young..and I think her name is Chin (office assistant) Sorry I didn't write this sooner, the year kinda got away from me. But thank-you and you have my business for life........ read more

I have never felt more comfortable and at ease going to a doctors office than my appointment with Doctor Young. This was my first OBGYN visit so I was a bit nervous however Chin (Dr.Young's staff) helped make the entire appointment process seamless and showed the utmost attentive care; she is absolutely the sweetest and nicest office staff I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. From the start Doctor Young was extremely personable and welcoming ; he really cares for his patients and makes me feel like I'm in very good hands. Not only is he an OBGYN but he also has an immense knowledge of overall healthy living and has given me so much advice on treating my PCOS not just from a medical POV but also from a lifestyle POV. I am so happy I've finally found a doctor that I can truly say I can recommend to anyone so please if you need a gynecologist in the area of San Mateo please go check out Doctor Young. read more

This small practice is 2nd to none. Doctor Young understands the human body (in a world of specialists that don't seem to understand the holistic/integrated body, this is so refreshing!) and is on a mission to help educate us all on our bodies and how to achieve health. No doctor has ever spent as much time with me, nor taught me more about my body. The guidance he gave was simple, clear and homeopathic. The doctor and his lovely assistant were kind, understanding and helpful, every step of the way! If you are looking for a doctor who is experienced, human in their approach, kind/empathetic & determined to be of service to you, please be a kind patient of Doctor young in return! He deserves the utmost respect. read more

Dr. Young was my OBGYN for my youngest son. He comes from a rare breed of doctors... confident, knowledgeable, humble and continuously learning. He used acupuncture on me for the c-section. Because of this, I didn't feel as much pain immediately after the surgery like I did with my previous c-section. Also in comparison, his c-section technique left less of a scar (and even removed the old scar) than my previous surgery. It's now hardly noticeable, whereas the previous one caused my skin to be very bumpy at the surgical site. All throughout the 9 months that he saw me, he gave sound and practical advice for my health. He also listened carefully when I had any concerns, addressing each one thoughtfully and practically. It was easy to contact him in-between appointments and even well after my son was born. Additionally, while I was seeing him, he also took a special interest in the well-being of my older son who has Down syndrome. He turned us on to non-traditional ways to address his cognitive and overall delays. All his recommendations were backed up by research. None of his recommendations had any bad side effects. This led us to do more research on our own and he was willing to let us bounce ideas off of him based on our own research... sharing possible side effects or pitfalls, as well as benefits. I find that Dr. Young is very careful. He strongly supports traditional medical practices, but also looks beyond at alternative ways if I am uncomfortable with using too much medication on myself or my family. I appreciate that. read more

Dr. Young and Chin are amazing! I cannot recommend this office enough. Dr. Young carefully listens to your needs and has exceptional table-side manner. He is very well versed in all your options and his style is educational and collaborative. Chin offers extraordinary customer service and proactive communication. They both are very caring and empathetic. I presented a unique set of circumstances and they were happy to accommodate my needs. The office also has a comfortable, spa-like vibe. Best OBGYN on Peninsula for sure! read more

Dr. Sam Young has been my ob-gyn for 20 years. He is an exceptional doctor. His professionalism and determination to help his patients are remarkable. His holistic approach is phenomenal. Every time I have doctor's visit, I don't leave his office without learning something. I could listen to him the whole day about how to regain energy, metabolism and how to stay young. He also recommends supplements for emotional, mental and physical support. If I have a health issue, he explains it very well that makes me understand my situation. He usually expresses it by diagram. My husband had hair loss issue and he was able to give him options and now he is happy with the regrowth of his hair. Not only is his expertise and knowledge are outstanding; the amount of time and effort that he puts into helping his patients is beyond that of most healthcare providers. He truly does care about his patients and it really shows. We really appreciate him being so humble and all his effort and help are greatly appreciated. read more

Dr. Young is fabulous!! I came to him looking for a second opinion regarding an upcoming surgery. I was so impressed with his through understanding of my situation, his recommended treatment plan plus his use of acupuncture and Integrative therapies, that I asked him to be my surgeon. He is very detail oriented and has a genuinely kind & thoughtful bedside manner. Dr. Young and his assistant Chin are true professionals and I'm so grateful I found them. read more

Dr Young is awesome! Answers questions, takes his time with patients, and honestly cares about the people he works with. Awesome practice, would highly recommend! read more

Most unprofessional health practitioners. I needed to schedule a timely appointment with a doctor. I spent time researching doctor and relaying back and forth with their front office, who was able to give me a next day appointment after collecting all my insurance and other personal details. So I stopped calling other doctors, and waited for next day. Next morning, front office lady updates me she had a chat with the doctor and gives me details for actual appointment. She tells me she tried but is unable to reach my (very popular) insurance and that I am better off calling them to verify. So I spent all the time getting in queue with insurance and verifying details to make sure we are all set for appointment in the afternoon. Insurance was surprised provider was unable to reach them. I immediately called them to let them know we are good to go from insurance standpoint. The is when lady informs me that the doctor can no longer service me and that I should find another provider. This was barely two hours since my morning call. I was surprised. The lady had been seemingly nice to me up until now (beware the sweet talk) so I tried to ask her what happened and see if there was another time or day that would be more convenient. This is when she is like no, the doctor thinks I am better off with another provider and can't service me. Duhhhh She says the doctor thinks I am better off with someone else since she couldn't verify my insurance and understands that patients always want to go in network. I told her I appreciate her concern, but I just got off the call with nsurance and provider was in network. So that should be a non issue . I asked her if schedule was inconvenient and told her I am happy to work with them on it. She mentioned that was not a problem, doctor just can't work with me and I should go find someone else so last minute. Whoever does that! And especially in healthcare! Such a waste of time! Now I have to quickly research another doctor from scratch, thanks to this flaky team read more

I have known Dr. Sam for over 25 years. He was my OB for 2 of our 3 children. The first time I met him he sent me to emergency for dehydration (severe morning sickness). I liked him right away. Dr. Sam truly cares about my health. He's full of good advice and recommendations. He's a good listener. He does what he says he will do (good work ethics). Dr. Sam Young is the best! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Sam Young for many years. He is trained in both Western and integrative medicine. He is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He has helped me with many different pain issues including headaches and muscle pain. He is the best doctor I have ever had. read more

Excellent bedside manner. I trust his recommendations of treatment. He is very knowledgeable with over 20 years of ob/gyn experience. I always feel like I've received the best possible care after my appointment. Thank You to the friendly front desk for making my experience a great one every time.

I was diagnosed with Neuropathy 2 years ago, after a very active life, former professional athlete, I took care of myself. I started having pain in my feet, it was a burning pain, with occasional numbness and the feeling of brittle toes. It prevented me from sleeping at times; I kept moving my feet because of the pain, I'd wake my wife up most nights. I went to see some of the top doctors in the Bay Area and they all shared the similar advice, manage the pain with meds and limited activity. When your in pain and limited options you share your experiences. I shared my experiences with Dr. Sam Young of Peninsula OBGYN Integrative. Dr. Young explained the different types of conditions leading to Neuropathy, and he said Neuropathic pain is the hardest to treat and suggested we try 3 sessions. This would let me know if I would respond to the different combination of frequency and on the 3rd session RELIEF!.. Eureka, Holy Cow.. didn't know what happened to the pain, I started to cry...I was pain free... Initially, after the first session the pain returned in about 5-7 days as predicted. After two additional sessions, the pain was gone. I cannot say that my experiences will be the same for everyone but i can say I do not have to have surgery or take medication for my feet any longer, Dr Sam Young is my new Best Friend! read more

Dr. Young is a true doctor at heart. He is not only an amazing physician but a super good human being, super patient. He has tons of years of experience in OB/GYN & acupuncture. I have personally known him for over 12 years. He's a multi-talented physician. Once I chose him as my gynecologist, I would go to no other doctor. I have had multiple vaginal tears after delivering my first child. I was barely able to walk due to intense, unbearable & uncontrolled pain even after taking multiple pain medications. I emailed Dr Young with my symptoms. He advised acupuncture and arranged same day appointment for me. Acupuncture significantly improved my symptoms. After a single session of acupuncture, my pain was immediately relieved and I was back on my feet, walking again. Acupuncture helped improve my body's ability to heal. Dr Young has magic in his hands. He's a healer. He truly cares about his patients. He would always go above and beyond to provide care for his patients. There are many great providers out there but there's no one like him because he's simply the BEST!! read more

Dr Sam Young GYN, is a magnificent GYN doctor and medical professional. I've know him for over 25 years and I have never had a doctor so attentive and patient.

I have seen lots of providers and I can tell he loves what he does and is good at it. read more

I've known Dr. Samuel Young for over 10 years. Dr. Sam is an outstanding physician. I have had chronic plantar fasciitis in both feet for over 20 years. Through his intervention and advice, the pain is finally gone and I can now freely walk pain free. I have had cortisone shots, myriad orthotics, other holistic treatments but never got the relief I hoped for. Patiently applying micro current therapy, the pain is gone! In addition to treating the plantar fasciitis, I received recommendations for a healthy diet augmented by otc supplements and holistic medical devices to address different issues. Dr. Sam is very patient, caring, listens well, meticulous, with great bedside manners that made me feel comfortable and at ease in sharing my issues. He does a lot of research on health questions I mention and shares them with me for consideration. I highly recommend Dr. Sam for your well health care read more

I saw Dr. Young a couple months ago for a nagging pain across my upper back. It was a pain that has been bothering me for a few months. After taking a careful history, Dr. Young recommended micro-current for my pain. He patiently explained to me what it was. I agreed to give it a try on the right side of my upper back where the pain was worse. He fine-tuned the micro-current to my specific need. I felt immediate relief with the right current frequency. No needles or anesthetics, it was a miracle! The entire procedure took about an hour. A few days later, I saw Dr. Young again. This time micro-current were apply to my right and left upper back. I am happy to report that my back have been pain free since. Dr. Young is a caring, compassionate, and skillful doctor. I have been recommending Dr. Young to all my friends. read more

Dr. Young was my OBGYN. He is a very caring doctor, excellent bedside manner, thorough and experienced. I would highly recommend him.

I had PTNS done and it worked really well. I always go to Dr. Young for health advice. He is a wealth of knowledge.

I injured my shoulder in April playing tennis. Developed frozen shoulder and visited orthopedic doctor twice in Aug, x-rayed, injection to shoulder, PT for a month. Still had pain and limited flexibility. Ortho doctor would not treat injury, so in frustration, decided to see Dr. Young. First visit after 1 hour treatment with FSM, pain reduced significantly and flexibility increased to 95% from 75%. After 2nd visit, pain almost completely gone and finally healing! Dr. Young treated my injury while the conventional orthopedic surgeon would not even address the cause of the injury after 2 office visits. I have one more treatment scheduled with Dr. Young and I have started to play tennis again after laying off for over a month. He treated me as a human being with a physical problem and addressed the problem and provided the appropriate treatment that is healing my injury! Dr. Young is a superb physician and a true healer! I am 72 yrs old and my wife is a GI physician, so I know the difference between a good and ineffective doctor. Dr. Young is truly in the really good category. If you have a problem, go see him. He will treat you as person addressing your problems, life styles and working to heal you as well. read more

Dr. Young has provided GYN care for me for some 20 years through Kaiser, and I am now following him to his private practice, although I still have Kaiser. He is a superior doctor with a great bedside manner. Beyond innovative GYN care, Dr. Young also helped me to control my blood sugar thru a combination of holistic and traditional interventions, all without prescription meds. I always know that I am in good hands with Dr. Young, regardless of the problem!! read more

Dr. Young is caring and compassionate, and he will always have your best health and well-being interest at heart!

Not only is Dr. Young an OBGYN, but he is also licensed and trained in many forms of pain relieving alternative medicines. I have been having leg muscle problems for a couple of years and had been to many orthopedic and pain relieving MDs and alternative medicine practitioners until I found Dr. Young. I tried spinal, hip, piriformis and epidural steroid injections, lidocaine injections, traditional Chinese and trigger point acupuncture, and perineural injections. Then I heard about FSM. FSM is Frequency Sequence Microcurrent popular for pain relief in Germany and now is in the US. Dr. Young can run three different pain relieving programs at once on you targeting different problems. After my first 11/2 hour session, he cured the twitching or spasming that I had for two years in my thighs that made it hard to walk without a walker! What a miracle for me!! He takes a thorough history of all of your medical and pain problems first and then decides what type of treatment to use. It may take more than one or two treatments, depending on the complexity of your problem. Be prepared, if FSM is right for you, come well hydrated and bring a pair of shorts and a different top to change into for the session, which is not painful. He may even combine therapies like FSM and acupuncture for optimal relief. You may or may not feel anything--nothing scary! He is soft spoken with a kind and gentle nature and sincerely wants to help you. Delightful Chin, is his receptionist and assistant. My insurance does not cover FSM but his fee is very reasonable for 1 1/2 hours of treatment. read more
