I was having issues and was calling and texting in their site for a couple weeks with no response except from an assistant in their office. Finally I ended up in emergency and had to have emergency surgery. Dr. O was apparently on vacation and the hospital tried for about 3 or 4 hours to find a surgeon at SCOI to come in and perform the surgery. Dr. O had zero back up, no one on call! The Dr. in the emergency room was totally pissed and told me he had never seen a situation where a Dr. was out with no one on call especially a surgeon. I sat in the emergency room for over 12 hours and finally the ER doctor was able to locate a surgeon from Kaiser who came to do the surgery. So after my surgery and the following weeks guess how much follow up Dr.O and SCOI did with me to check on my condition? Zero!! I had been seeing Dr. O for months and not one call, note, text etc to follow up on my condition. Needless to say if you plan on using SCOI for anything I would definitely look for an alternative. On a positive note the Kaiser Dr. that did the surgery was awesome and did a fantastic job! Interesting to note he did a discectomy instead of fusion surgery. Dr. O had told Me I needed fusion surgery but the Kaiser surgeon said no Injust needed a disectomy which is way less invasive and less costly. Just saying.

He couldn't have been less personable, void of any personality and bedside manner, and appeared to be in a rush to leave (we were waiting days for his consult). He spent about 3 min with us, which would have been about 30seconds if we didn't begin asking him questions, and his advice was "see a doctor after you get discharged'. Really? He never offered a gameplan, he lied on the consult about 'discussing findings' (he didn't discuss anything, he basically just said 'go see a doctor'). He also had misinformation in the consult that we disputed in which the hospitalist agreed with our dispute. There seems to be a trend of him getting things wrong according to the reviews, and he seems to have a bias towards disabled patients. He never offered to schedule us post-discharge and kept trying to pass the buck to find another doctor. Hopefully you aren't as unlucky to get stuck with this guy. We've dealt with many specialists and he was among the absolute worst. Hospitalist helped us get in touch with a new specialist and already have next steps planned for a procedure which he said he recommends we get done, something Dr. Youngstrom didn't even discuss. Dr. Youngstrom, I feel sorry for anyone who gets stuck with your ass. We're lucky as hell we didn't get stuck with you.

I talk to Donna the office manager after 2 weeks of trying to make an appointment. Donna tried telling me that the doctor needed to review my medical history to see if he will accept me as a patient. She said that every doctor's office does this. After telling Donna that it's not true, my wife runs 3 medical offices. Donna then said "well do you want to make an appointment"? Nope. If staff and management is this ignorant and thinks patients aren't important I'm good. Waste of my time.
