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.

He is doing his diligence and as we meet up he will get to know my needs better. Glad I have this support. I believe in knowing all about my health. My physician needs to have a moment to review my chart. With me. Not just ask me. But I’m going to be more vocal at next visit.
Very professional, went over everything including what can help outside of his practice like PT. Felt welcomed and at ease .
Very professional and listens to his patients great personality definitely real recommend Dr Mario.
Very nice and professional I was just a little disappointed after having to reschedule once before because of a surgery that came up for him. I had a 2:30 appointment today and was not seen till 3:30. I waited months for a 10 minute appointment.
We waited over an hour and the nurse didn’t seem to concern. This was the 2nd visit and the 2nd time we waited. Was about to leave and told the nurse. She said we were next but she couldn’t make the doctor come any faster. Rethinking if we will return
Would like a written note about our visit. At our age we don’t understand or remember what what has been explained to us.
Dr. Taylor is always so kind and willing to spend the time to answer all my questions.
The doctor was in the room with me for less than 5 minutes, provided no explanation as to the possible cause of my severe pain, told me to go to physical therapy and walked out. I got a text from my pharmacy that he had sent in two prescriptions. At no time during the few minutes he spent with me did he say anything about medication. I have no idea what the medications are or what they are for. This was one of the worst medical experiences I’ve ever had and will not be returning to see this provider. I felt worse leaving the appointment than I did when I walked in.
Very personable, very nice, sat down, talk to me, I was very impressed.He's the only spine doctor that author arizona has.And i'm glad it's him.
Waited over an hour to be seen
