As a family, we cannot say enough about Dr. Younas! He is exceptional. Having a [...] [...] child with medical complications and [...] [...] means that we face challenges in getting the right care, without bias and that our [...] is treated with dignity and respect. Dr. Younas has taken a very caring approach to his care and has not ever treated [...] as "less than" as many other physicians have. He took the time to conference with the entire care team to make sure that every option was considered and that every risk was discussed in full. We felt so confident under his care and know that when he cares for our child, he does it with a level of professionalism that is exceptional and with love in his heart. His attention to detail has impressed us time and time again. He thinks through every detail of the procedure and is always available to answer our questions. He is an important part of [...] success and we are very blessed to have him in our lives. In contrast, we have been told that we should have [...] our [...] or that [...] issues are not worth treating.

05/27/20
The Dr. was rushed spent less than 1.5 mins with us, offered little information. No pain management discussion. I was a little shocked over the whole thing I couldn't ask questions in such a fast pace tone in which he was in the room. all of our business is with UT physicians and this time I was let down. I absolutely will not recommend this Dr.
