As always, today's visit was great,but,my only complaint in the past, was that I hadn't been shown my xrays or MRI images and walked through what everything was and what it meant,and answers to my pain, but today Dr Taylor showed me both my MRI images and xrays and pointed out what I was seeing, and what it all meant. Coming from working in the dental field, and more specifically pediatric, I know that showing imaging and explaining what is going on,is very helpful and reassuring to the patient or parent, and am very pleased that my appointment was more informative than before,and appreciate that they are always striving for excellence and improving our patient experience. Not sure if since they moved upstairs that they are able to do that now,but either way, I'm grateful as I'm sure every patient is. Just makes me like him more,so thank you!
Very pleasant, helpful , asked many questions to help figure out what is going on with my body, etc, thanks for the input.
Great Dr. He immediately instilled confidence. Listened. Would recommend him any time.
Listens, gives clear feedback.
Dr. Taylor listen to all my concerns, and answered all of my questions. He gave me his professional opinions and different options for future therapy up to and including surgery. He’s very easy to talk to laid-back but professional.
Great Wonderful Orthopedic Dr.!
Talked to me about my condition. Set up appointment for other helps.
VERY NICE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE I FELT SO MUCH BETTER ABOUT MY SITUATION WHEN I LEFT..THANK YOU DR. TAYLOR ALSO, HIS STAFF IS EXCEPTIONAL SO PLEASANT AND HELPFUL...
The only issue was I waited one hour before I was seen. I've never had to wait that long in all my experiences with Ortho Arizona. Last time I waited almost as long with this same doctor.
Very understanding and has best interest in the patients concerns.
