As a result, appointments will be available four days a week. The office – which is located at 140 Hospital Drive, Suite 307 in Bennington – is now open 7 am–3 pm Monday through Thursday, closed for the lunch hour.
“I look forward to bringing personalized patient evaluation, education and treatment options to my patients with painful, life-changing conditions,” Young said.
