About me
My name is Dr. Edmond Young, and I am board certified in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine. I specialize in sports medicine and have been a member of the Kaiser Permanente San Diego Orthopedic Surgery Department since 1997.
Biography
Originally from Southern California, I completed an undergraduate degree in bioengineering at UC San Diego, where I engaged in research that sparked my initial interest in orthopedic surgery. I then completed medical school at UC Davis, orthopedic surgery residency at UC San Diego, and fellowship in sports medicine at UC San Francisco.
Over the course of my career, I have served as the chief of the Kaiser Permanente San Diego Orthopedic Surgery Department for 5 years and as the program director for the Dale Daniel Sports Medicine Fellowship for 14 years. I have been honored with the Health Care Hero award and have also served as team physician for the San Diego Sockers professional soccer team.
About my practice
I treat a broad range of orthopedic conditions, with a particular focus on minimally invasive techniques for repairing and reconstructing knee and shoulder injuries. These procedures include knee arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction, and shoulder arthroscopy for rotator cuff or labral injuries.
I am also actively involved in teaching arthroscopy and sports medicine as a faculty member of Kaiser Permanente's nationally accredited sports medicine fellowship training program. I'm incredibly proud to be part of the sports medicine team here in San Diego. Our team of subspecialist physicians, physician assistants, physical therapists, and nurses works together to provide high-quality, coordinated, and streamlined care for our members.
How I thrive
In my free time, I enjoy road biking, skiing, and spending quality time with my family. I firmly believe that regular exercise and physical activity are crucial for maintaining a healthy balance amid life's many demands, whether they be personal or professional. It's not just about physical health, but also about mental well-being and overall happiness.
