Dr. Mario A. Taylor. M.D. is a fellowship-trained orthopedic doctor specializing in a wide spectrum of spinal disorders, including cervical, thoracic, and lumbar degenerative disorders, complex spinal deformities, and traumatic spine injuries.
Dr. Taylor treats a myriad of conditions, including but not limited to spinal stenosis, radiculopathy, low back pain, spinal deformity, spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, disc herniations, and failed back syndrome. He has extensive training in both traditional open spine surgeries, as well as minimally invasive procedures, including fusion, motion-sparing and percutaneous techniques in adult patients.
Dr. Taylor emphasizes the importance of overall health and wellness in both helping to prevent spinal disorders and in aiding in the recovery process if surgery is necessary. He believes this is key in helping patients return to an active lifestyle. Dr. Taylor stresses the importance of connecting with and listening to patients as part of the treatment process. His philosophy includes educating patients on their current condition, maximizing conservative/non-operative treatment options, and when surgery is required, personalizing the surgical plans to their specific pathology, lifestyle, and expectations.
Identified as an up-and-coming orthopedic doctor by several organizations, Dr. Taylor earned a spot in the American Orthopaedic Association’s Emerging Leaders Program. As a part of the program, he was able to network with some of the top orthopedic surgeons in the U.S. and Canada, complete exclusive leadership courses and serve in leadership positions within the AOA.
Dr. Taylor already has several published research articles, including work on floating cervical spine injuries and has lectured across the nation to healthcare providers on various topics involving orthopedics, including on fracture patterns in multiligamentous knee injuries, thumb CMC arthroplasty and more.
He has also won several awards, including being elected to the Alpha Omega Honor Medical Society and registration to the 2023 AOA C. McCollister Evarts Resident Leadership Forum given to the outstanding residents from accredited institutions who have garnered recognition as up-and-coming orthopaedic leaders within their program.
Outside of the office, Dr. Taylor enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, reading, working out and snowboarding.

Wonderful surgeon!
Was very polite and pleasant to see does not keep his appointment schedule on time though
I was required to sign in 30 minutes before my appt. I was not seen till 20 minutes after my scheduled appt time of 8 am.
I had my 1st appointment with Dr. Taylor today, and when he entered the room he introduced himself with a big smile and a hearty handshake. I immediately felt comfortable. He was much more than this though. He was very knowledgeable and I trust his judgment. He gave me ideas to treat my sciatica without using anti-inflammatory meds (I can’t take them), and I left there feeling hope!! The office has a PT location right there. You can go from a doctor’s appointment, to getting imaging, to doing PT without having to go anywhere. Thank you, Dr. Taylor!!
Great Dr.
He is totally awesome and very professional.
Thanks for your time and input. Ill just continue what Im doing. Guess I should have been born a fish.glub glub.
Great bedside manner, very thorough and professional.
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.
