Very direct and professional.
Very down to earth. Explained everything in a way I could understand. His staff was also friendly and kind
He is nice doctor
Very kind and personable
Dr Taylor was very kind and gentle. Talk to you like a normal person and didn't start throwing words at me that I wouldn't understand unless I was a Dr. He understands your problem and wants to fix it as fast as he can so you can go on your day as normal as you can without being in pain. This was my first visit and this is how I feel about Dr Taylor. Had a wonderful consultation with him and he got right to work on fixing my issue.
I met with Dr. Taylor several months ago regarding carpal tunnel issues in both hands. He set me up with braces to see if they would help and told me to return if they did not improve. They did not improve. I called on Monday for an appointment to discuss surgery and was given an appointment for Wednesday. Amazing speed. I arrived early for my appointment and was taken back after a short wait. Dr. Taylor came in quickly and the problem was discussed, all questions answered and the surgery was scheduled. I left his office at the time my appointment was scheduled to begin. I appreciate the promptness of Taylor and his thoroughness in answering all questions asked of him.
Fractured wrist in 2 places. ER doc gave me 3 days of pain meds. I saw Dr Taylor on day 4 and was told to take OTC Tylenol with pain level 10/10 until surgery 7 days later. A week with so much pain I’m nauseated. I asked for something stronger and Taylor said I’d get pain meds after surgery…in a week. I can’t eat, sleep or do a whole lot. I’m in so much pain. It should be protocol to give stronger pain meds for fractures. It seems reasonable. Last time I took opioids was 18 years ago with a c-section. I’m not an addict. I genuinely have acute intolerable pain. Wrist fractures hurt. 10/10 Ty Tylenol, ice and elevation not helping
Very nice and caring.
