"The most important aspect in the evaluation and treatment of a patient is to listen to the patient's history, to perform a careful physical examination and to take the time to thoroughly discuss the patient's diagnosis and treatment." -Dr. De Young

His reputation for honesty and integrity has earned him the respect of his fellow orthopedists and the enduring affection of his patients.

He believes that a correct diagnosis can only come with the individual attention that he gives to each person. Never hurried, always listening and not relying on test results alone, he is an unparalleled diagnostician.

Dr. De Young takes a conservative approach to surgery and is able to correct many issues without the trauma of surgical treatment. However if surgery is needed, Dr. De Young is a board certified, fully qualified, orthopedic surgeon, with many years of experience. Educated in his home state of Texas and in practice since 1981, Dr. De Young is associated with Southwest Orthopedic Group whom he joined in 2002. Giving back to the community and helping those in need is important to Dr. De Young. He is a member of the Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce, and he is on staff with Shriners Hospital for Children.
