Rebecca Young, D.O.
Dr. Young finished her residency training at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center after completing her osteopathic education at Western University College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific. She originally graduated from Scripps College with a film degree, believing she would be a documentary filmmaker. While filming a medical mission in Peru, however, she had a “lightbulb moment” that changed her career path. Since then, Dr. Young has delighted in pursuing health and teaching preventative care on medical trips to China, Jamaica, and Mexico. Dr. Young is board certified in family medicine and chose the specialty for its well-rounded nature that allows her to care for the whole family as well as the whole person.
