Reviews for San Antonio, TX Ophthalmologist Dr. Allison Young

I am so please that I was recommended to this office as well to Dr. Allison Young. The office and the personal are professional and cheerful. I have Sjögren’s Syndrome which drys everything in your body. I honestly though I was going blind and I was seeing another ophthalmologist in a huge chain operation and it seems like I was going in every three months. I honestly couldn’t see. Dr Young saw me on the first visit and explained that I had a very large cataract in my right eye and it needed to be removed. I was extremely petrified but Dr. Young has the type of additive you want every Doctor to have. It was such an easy operation for me, Dr. Young said that it was so big it took her awhile to get it out. The difference was amazing I see amazing I was so amazed how little I was seeing before. So excited to get the other eye done. The after care was just as through as the pre-op. I recommend this Ophthalmology Center and Dr. Young. Today is January 8th of 2021 and the day before this I had a very gritty feeling in my right eye when I woke up. Just thinking it was my Sjogren's I put in the eye drops and it helped but I had double vision for the day. Knowing I could call Stone Oak Ophthalmology and find out if I need to see a Dr or just find out what I could do. They wanted to get me in but I live a across town and they got me an appointment right away the next day. I saw Dr. Whitney and just like Dr. Young, she took her time took the tests (she explained each test and her reason for taking them) and ended up finding out that I had Shingles in my right eye. I was then told it was a very good thing that I came in because it could be worse the longer you wait. I trust this office and my eye health whole heartily. I have always been treated with respect, professionalism, COVID responsible and I know my appointment was done to it's fullest to help both of us to understand what is happening with my eyes. Again I was afraid my eyesight was going to be gone and I have walked in there and them out knowing everything was being done that could be done. I also got to meet another one of these wonderful Doctors. Thank you Dr. Whitney, I'm not thrilled with having Shingles but thank you for informing me that getting the Shingles Shot is not a 100% it just makes it less infectious. I maybe miserable but it could of been a lot worse with out your insisting we do the testing and your hands on care it could be worse. If you are someone who needs an Ophthalmologist this is the group to go to. More

I love Dr. Young she’s definitely a great professional and friendly! Her concerns for my eye health is a priority. The Office Staff is professional and friendly too. I would highly recommend her. More

I’m always impressed by the expertise and kindness of the doctors and staff. Stone Oak Ophthalmology has taken care of my vision for 25 years. I started with Dr Held, now see Dr Young, and have been impressed by my recent visit with Dr Waters: 3 strong, brilliant and compassionate women. More

I have been a patient of Dr Allison Young for years, and highly recommended her and the others at this office, to anyone wanting the best Eye care,in San Antonio TX 😀! More

Excellent customer service and, friendly staff! Office is very clean as well as examining rooms. Dr. Young is an excellent ophthalmologist! She has been my doctor for several years, has great personality and makes you feel like you are family. Dr. Young and her staff are very thorough and treat you with the utmost care. She makes sure everything is well balanced including medication that might be affecting your vision. There are two additional lady ophthalmologists in the practice to include an optical department should you wish to purchase your glasses. I highly recommend Stone Oak Ophthalmology! More

Not only is Dr. Young a gifted physician, her warmth and pleasant personality always plays a big part in our appointments. She is the best and the entire staff mirrors her professionalism and dedication to the quality of care to the patients. They are all excellent! More

Professional, caring, competent team lead by awesome Dr Young! More

I have 10000% confidence in Dr. Allison Young. SO thankful a friend - and a REALLY picky friend she is! - recommended Dr. Young for my cataract surgery. Now I am the one recommending her to MY friends! 😍 More

On behalf of my mom: It is with great pleasure that I share my cataract surgery experience with you. The surgery was performed by Dr. Allison Young. I don't have enough words to express how happy I am with the results! Dr. Young is a true professional and an expert in her field - she has the knowledge and experience to guarantee 100% of her work. Dr. Young takes time to listen to her patients and to explain the surgery process in detail. As a doctor, she has the talent and sensibility to explain and thoroughly analyze the patient's condition in order to ensure that the surgery will be a success! She works with and depends on a world-class ophthalmology team and her staff is equipped to support the patient in every way. I can't offer anything else other than to congratulate and thank Dr. Young for the quality of person she is and for her great capabilities as a doctor. Thank you Dr. Young! More

Have been visiting with Dr. Allison Young for several years now and I am very pleased with her expertise and the care provided. She performed cataract surgery on both eyes resulting in 20/20 vision in each eye. The Techs are also very knowledgeable and proficient in their jobs. Highly recommend Stone Oak Opthalmology. More

I was recommended to see Dr. Allison Young but her schedule was full and could not see her til April….i was disappointed because my husband and I needed to be seen quicker than 4 months so we were told that Dr Waters was available …i was hesitant but agreed. Dr Waters is excellent…she is very professional, a sweetheart and best of all she has a great bed side manner dealing with patients!! She is a great asset to the Stone Oak Ophthalmology Center! Note…office staff is great as well😊 More

I was using a large and well-known opthalmology center here in SA and was increasingly dissatisfied with both their service and ambience. A close friend recommended Dr. Allison Young at Stone Oak Ophthalmology Center to me, stating that she had a very pleasent experience with both Dr. Young and her staff and couldn't say enough about them. After visiting Stone Oak, I can only say that I regret not finding them years ago. All the staff I encountered were delightful people, and the meeting with Dr. Young was the "cherry on top". I have issues with long-term T2 diabetes and advancing age and she was clearly very expert at treating both. I can't recommend Stone Oak Ophthalmology Center highly enough! More

Dr. Young is the best! More

Staff is always nice and Dr Young is Awesome. More

Dr Young has been my doctor for several years and I would not go to anyone else. She truly cares about her patients and makes you feel confident and comfortable with each visit. I highly recommend that you visit her at least once and you will be sold. More

Overall, I had a very positive experience. There was a delay in being seen but I was informed of this when I checked in. I prefer knowing ahead. Dr Young is very thorough and shares what is going on with my eyes. More

I am an eighty five year old woman and I have been to many physicians over my lifetime and I have never been seen by a doctor like I have been seen by Dr. Young She is a delightful and charming physician. She is professional, sensitive and kind. Her smile lights up the room and you can tell she has a beautiful heart from just speaking to her. Dr. Young took her time with the exam; she gave me eye contact, and explained everything to me thoroughly and patiently all my questions were answered. I also had the opportunity to buy my glasses in their own optical center. My eyes were completed taken care of after my visit. More

At my initial visit in 2012, Dr Young came in and greeted me with a huge smile and bubbly personality. She told me I was perfect for LASIK since my contacts weren't doing so well with me. It took two years to get the guts to do it, but it was worth it! Dr Young and her staff were so helpful, knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions and concerns. Dr Young treated me with compassion as she walked me through the LASIK procedure. Her after care was even better! She was always available to answer my crazy questions at the appointments after the LASIK procedures I am so thankful for a great doctor like Dr Young! More

She was very personable and answered all questions. More

It was reassuring I had anemia & my left eye was getting blurry. I was told by Dr. Young that my eye prescription had just changed & it had nothing to do w/ the anemia. She took the time to explain every thing to me also her staff member Leanna was very efficient when she couldn't explain a test result she had it double check w/ another staff member. More

I went to Dr. Young to have PRK laser corrective surgery on both of my eyes. I was extremely satisfied with my visit (surgery and follow-up appointments) with Dr. Young. She was very professional and extremely nice. She's an approachable doctor, making it easy to ask questions, and she made the entire surgery process comfortable and pleasant. More

Dr. Teresa Whitney performed cataract surgery on both my left and right eyes in August 2020, and she did an absolutely AWESOME job! Like many, I was terrified of the procedure, and had deferred it for many years, until I was nearly blind - OK, I was legally blind. With GREAT anxiety, I submitted myself to Dr. Whitney's care, and I emerged from the first surgery absolutely amazed at the results. I was back her table a week later for the other eye, FAR less concerned with both the procedure and the outcome. I am now 20:20 in both eyes, no longer need glasses of any kind, and have for the first in over a decade, had the eyeglass restriction removed from my driver's license! I can honestly say, I'm very sorry that I have but only two eyes, or I'd be a repeat patient. Thank you, Dr. Whitney, for restoring my eyesight!! More

Hands down the best decision you can make for your over all eye health and your vision. Dr. Young and her staff made me feel validated and appreciated. As a patient that’s all you can hope for and more. With Dr. Young’s guidance, choosing the cataract removal with the symfony lens implant has forever changed my view on life.... (see what I did there). :) More

I highly recommend Dr. Held. Her conscientious and careful approach to her patients is followed by excellent skills and follow up. I highly respect Dr. Held I all respects and stress that she is an amazing woman. More

Dr. Young and Staff are fantastic. I recently underwent bilateral LASIK without complication and with the utmost care. I felt completely at ease with Dr. Young. She has the combination of skill and stellar bedside manner, I could not ask for more!! More

Dr. Kristin Held is an excellent doctor and I have no reservation about giving her a very high recommendation. After injuring an eye, and all of the anxiety that goes with that, she put my mind at ease and put in motion the plan for full recuperation. She is thurough, has a very personable demeanor. Her staff is completely professional and on time.. Great parking. More

My husband and I have been going to Dr Held for almost 20 years. She is a great doctor. Highly recommend. More

Dr. Held and her Staff is excellent team! My wife eye vision significantly decreased and could not make a sooner appointment with her eye 'regular' doctor. We called Dr. Held's office and luckily they let my wife in. After Dr. Held accurately diagnosed that my wife left eye was retina detached, Dr. Held and her staff were very kink and took the work very seriously to try to contact my wife eye's doctor so my wife could have an immediate treatment. The excellent outcome was that my wife was seen by Dr. Bell and treated on the same that day. After two weeks of the treatment, my wife eyes have been miraculously improved and she now is able come back her normal duty. Recommend Dr. Bell, Dr. Held and Staff Staff to anyone. More

Dr Young is the BEST. Her office staff is beyond nice. I have had excellent treatment from start to finish. The receptionist was prompt and friendly, the assistants were professional and answered all my questions. Dr Young put all my anxieties to rest. I would recommend Stone Oaks Ophthalmology for any eye problems or surgeries. More

My husband goes to Dr. Allison Young. and suggested I see her for my bad eyesight and diminishing night driving. I knew I had cataracts, but didn't know they were as bad as I thought. I got in quickly for surgery for the first eye, and now I can see everything clearly. I see details and colors that had faded. Dr. Young also cares about her patients and her work. I felt very confident with her. Having my other eye done soon, and not a bit nervous this time. More

This practice is a really wonderful find. I saw Dr. Held for an unexpected eye injury. She was unusually patient and kind as well as effective and knowledgable. Everything you hope to find in a doctor (but frequently don't). I was able to discuss all my concerns without being rushed and feel like I got exceptional care. The staff members I interacted with were also very helpful. Highly recommend. More

The best exam I have ever had, Dr Young found a tear and got me in to have a surgery that same day. saved my sight Thank you Dr.Young. More

So thankful that I found Dr Young. After going to another doctor for the past 4 years and continuously being told that I was not ready for cataract surgery even though I was no longer able to drive , I felt that another opinion was in order so I went to see Dr Young. This was in December and by the 1st of February both of my cataracts had been removed and I could see again. She is a wonderful doctor and her office staff are excellent. I would highly recommend her , you will not be disappointed More

A great clinic! My wife and I have had nothing but wonderful experiences here. They truly care about you and want to help. Dr. Held and Dr. Young are outstanding doctors! More

Dr. Held is an outstanding ophthalmologist! There is no other doctor like her in San Antonio!! She spends so much time with you and always goes beyond any other doctor I have seen. She is compassion, loyal to her oath, and is a true example of what a doctor should be. The wait time is worth it. So what that she is out of network....Most excellent doctors are!! This allows the government to stay out of medical health care. More

Really a very caring doctor. Would strongly recommend and have. More

My appointment went smoothly and as it should have. However, the office did not have me on there schedule. I booked my appointment via ZocDoc on December 28, and received multiple reminder and confirmation emails. The staff was very nice and professional. The only reason I had to wait was for the receptionist to check with others in regards to their full schedule and me having a confirmed appointment that did not show up on their end. I was in an exam room by 0815. No one missed a beat. Everyone was very nice and welcoming, especially Dr. Young. I would recommend Dr. Young highly to anyone needing her services. More
