Dr. Brett Young’s path to medicine was shaped by both curiosity and craftsmanship. “I’ve always enjoyed building things with my hands, and when I entered the field of medicine, I knew I wanted to help people with my hands rather than with medications,” he says.

He decided to pursue medicine during his college years, where he discovered both a natural talent for biology and chemistry and a preference for working with people over working in a lab. Orthopedics provided the perfect way to merge his scientific skill set with his desire to directly improve people’s lives.

Dr. Young takes a personalized and thoughtful approach to patient care. “I would say that I am more of a conservative than an aggressive surgeon. I strive to help patients avoid surgery when possible. I also know what I am skilled at, and I don’t hesitate to refer patients to a different surgeon if I feel that’s in their best interest.”

Slow down, check in and manage expectations this holiday season.

Preventive care is fundamental to modern healthcare, and Medicare Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs) exemplify this shift. These visits give patients a regular, structured opportunity to review their overall health, understand risk factors, and stay current on recommended screenings.

Yet despite their importance, AWVs are often misunderstood. Many patients assume the wellness visit is the same as a traditional physical exam or expect chronic conditions to be reviewed during the visit. When that expectation doesn’t align with Medicare's coverage, it can lead to frustration or unexpected billing.

Door County Medical Center is committed to helping patients understand the purpose of this appointment and ensuring they receive the right care in the right setting.
