Welcome to our new website for North Carolina Endocrine Surgery! We are currently in the process of transferring and editing our old site content to this site, so please bear with us.
This site is designed to be a resource for our patients to help them understand surgical diseases that affect the major endocrine organs and how we approach them in our practice. The function and non-surgical diseases of the endocrine system will be discussed only to the degree it clarifies surgical problems. Specific information about disease processes, pre-op and post-op care guidelines, decision methodology, our qualifications and outcome information is presented.
This site is not designed for healthcare professionals or non-patients looking for medical information. The content of this Website applies to patients under our care. If you are not one of our patients and you find information on this site confusing or in conflict with information from your healthcare provider, please contact your physician for clarification.

Christopher Young, DO
FACS
Growing up, Dr. Young’s mom was an operating room nurse. This introduced him to medicine and specifically, surgery. That interest has grown over time and has led him to his current position as a surgeon specializing in endocrine surgery. Dr. Young approaches each patient on an individual basis. While a diagnosis can be the same between two patients, the approach to treatment can vary. His goal is to deliver high-quality, state-of-the-science care to each patient, but tailor it in ways that allows everyone to feel comfortable through the process. When he is not at work, Dr. Young and his wife love to explore different restaurants and local markets. We also frequent local parks and trails with our dog.
