Deyoung, Derek A PA

I chose the field of ear, nose, and throat (ENT) to fulfill my passion for helping people. I help patients of all ages and with varying degrees of medical complexities. I also enjoy balancing clinic engagements and assisting in the operating room.Treating a patient's symptoms while building a trusting relationship is my goal. I strive to establish a connection with my patients, working to provide solutions and plans that align with their comfort and well-being.I have an attentive approach, and I'm known for actively listening. I take the time to understand a patient's medical history while demonstrating genuine empathy. I believe these qualities contribute to a positive patient experience and reinforce the importance of patient-centered care.Outside of work, I find joy in the outdoors, have a passion for baking, and cherish moments spent with my family.
