"I want the kids to know that I really want them to have a fun experience and that I will take care of them. I want the parents to know that I have the best interest of their child in mind and that I will do all I can to help their child."

“My dad and three uncles were pediatricians, and I have always wanted to help kids,” says Dr.Young. “To me, ophthalmology was the most fascinating field in medicine and allowed for amazing high-tech treatments, so they both came together for me during training.”
Raised in Hawaii, and a graduate of the University of Hawaii, John A. Burns School of Medicine, Dr. David Young did his residency at Brown University/ Rhode Island Hospital and his fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania/Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
He has served at Chair of the Continuing Medical Education Committee of Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children from 2012 through 2017 and was a member of the Board of Directors of Physicians Exchange of Honolulu, Inc. 2007–2012, and 2014–2019.
