O. David Taunton, Jr., M.D.

Dr. Taunton is just the best. I love how he adjusts his communications level to my needs

Needs to give patients more time in answering and understanding their questions. Too eager to go out the door.

Glad to have a defining decision to make. After seeing other folks, a man whit a real diagnosis, a Blessing.

Great Doctor

Excellant Surgeon & office Staff

He cares about his patients. He listens, advises and gets a plan to help you get better.

Very informative, laid it out, did not sugarcoat anything. He has my complete respect and trust.

From the beginning of the check in process to X-ray technician to patient room w/ all staff I love coming here and every one is nice, courteous. Dr. Taunton listens to you on what brings you to the doctor's appointment and then he has a plan to resolve the issue that you have. It is the number one facility that I love coming to and I enjoy bragging about..

Concerned, very knowledgeable.

Friendly staff

Can’t say enough about the professionalism, service, care I received that gave my life back to me. God Bless and many thanks!

For a first consultation visit, I was very impressed with the kindness and concern shown by Dr Taunton, Jr. I look for to our next visit.

Completely valuable meeting for my continued good health. Gave me all confidence in my newfound abilities.

Loved visit

Very thorough with explanations of procedures by both doctor and staff.

He helped me to live pain free from my left knee.

Had

Great visit. Dr. Taunton was kind and caring. Greatly recommended. Replaced both my knees and my left hip before, and I could not be happier. Going to replace my other hip now. Fully confident.

Dr. Taunton is amazing. I can count on him to be open and honest on all of my procedures. Plus he has a great bedside manner.

Excellent

Listens to concerns, friendly knows a lot about problems of the hip

Very nice, Dr Taunton very nice to the point of what you need and what will take place. Every one very helpful

Great visit

When to him for pain on side next to hip. He crated my hips, ask me a few questions and said it wasn’t my hip, it was my back. When I ask what he recommended, he said go to a pain doctor. That was about it as for as helping me.

Very understandable and respectful.

Dr T is the best! The office staff make everything easier and efficient.

Great surgeon and wonderful bedside manner.

Great doctor, took hold took care of all my needs.

friendly plus a great surgeon

Staff & Dr excellent

All good!

Always AWESOME !! HIGHLY Recommend over any other Knee Replacement DR. Multiple Reason. Husband already had his. The care, planning, Pre-op,hospital stay, Post Op visits. Dr Taunton believes in Tx Methodist Southlake Hospital, he is also on Board of Directors there too. Already gave hospital a Glowing review on new inovative techniques that other Docs & Hospitals should learn from. But, back to Dr Taunton. He is AAA +++

Professional, friendly

Dr. Taunton was extremely professional and knowledgeable concerning my knee issue. As a 68 year old man, I am so thankful I found a kind and considerate doctor that understands my problem. My other orthopedist, who I had been seeing since 1979, passed away a couple of years ago, so I was very worried and concerned it would be difficult to find another doctor who understood my past medical history. Dr. Taunton relieved the fears and concerns I had, and offered me good medical advice on where and how I needed to proceed from here on out. Thank you Dr. Taunton for being understanding and thorough with your assessment.

He is just the best. I just love him and his work is always the most wonderful and I have recommended him to all my family and friends.

Dr Taunton and staff are way beyond expectations. Right knee replaced in January 2024, 3 month follow up appt today, 👍up, next appt: 1/25! I’m very happy with progress, answers and attention to any questions I’ve had. Would give him 10 Stars if able!!

This man is boorish and incredibly self-absorbed. No one, much less a physician, has a right to treat their clientele as he does. He is abrupt in his questioning and curt in his responses. I have chosen to never return as a patient to any office who suffers his pathetic company.

Outstanding ‼️

Dr Taunton is very professional and great personality. Exudes trust and professionalism without pressure to have surgery.

You feel like you’re in good hands with Dr Taunton.

Great professional care. Kind and listen well. Thank you

Great

This was my first visit w/ Dr. T & he was thorough, professional & helped direct me in what needed to done next.

Dr. Taunton immediately recognized my problem and recommended a effective treatment. I am much better . Thanks to Dr. Taunton!

Dr Taunton performed both of my hip replacements and I am amazed at the fantastic results. I should have looked into hip surgery much sooner. I highly recommend Dr Taunton to anyone wishing to explore the surgery option.

Listens to your concerns and gives you a way to solve your problem.

The doctor always provides a drop explanation of my upcoming procedure.

Pleasant but thorough

He's the best there is

Love the bedside manner.

Loved your pa’

I saw Chase and was not impressed. Checking in and checking out the girls were on their phones and everyone seemed lethargic. When I left, Chase was on his phone too. No one was friendly. Felt like a sad place and I felt like I was the enemy. I didn’t feel listened to at all. Very disappointed.

Very efficient and knowledgeable

Appreciate Dr care and honesty about my condition and not pushing for any kind of procedure that I didn’t need.

If you ever need to have hip surgery, look no further Dr. Taunton is the best.

Successful abductor repair by Dr. Taunton and I’m forever grateful!

He listens to patient

Approaching my 3rd “Taunton” fix. He and his staff are amazing.

Dr. Taunton replaced my knee 4 years ago, my hip 3 months ago. Both went fantastic! I recommend him to everyone.

I have never felt so much relief, steroid shot worked beautifully. Dr Taunton is extremely nice and answered all my concerns.

Dr. Taunton did a fantastic job on my complicated hip!!

I’m amazed at how good I feel 3 months post surgery. I give all the credit to Dr. Taunton.

He seems pretty neat.

Good Doctor!!

Always listens and answers all questions

I’m sure he’s a good doctor but acted like I was a problem and was also very dismissive and arrogant when he spoke to me.

Dr Taunton is a gifted surgeon who has replaced both of my knees with great results. Highly recommend his services.

Jenna was very professional

Very compassionate, caring, and takes the time to listen and answer questions. The only surgeon my mother would even consider. Wonderful experience working with Dr. Taunton and his staff.

Not sure of the findings at this time. Waiting for follow up visit.

He made me whole again and pain free in both my knees. I can play golf again!

I didn’t see the doctor. Really liked the PA, Jenna, but the process from forms to X-rays, etc. felt very much like an assembly line. Not patient centric.

Excellent Doctor. Great staff and very efficient.

Great surgeon! Incredibly knowledgeable and terrific with complicated hips!

I have been kn your office now 4 times for my knee and hip issue, but never seen or met you.....

Saw PA. He was ok

The Best of the Best!

I appreciate his direct approach in handling questions and concerns. He is an excellent orthopedic surgeon.

Very professional

Selected Dr. Taunton for hip replacement. Couldn't be more satisfied with my decision. Dr. Taunton and his fabulous staff guided me through the procedure and the rehilbilitation period.

Have gone through two hip replacements within 3 years. If I had any more hips to replace I would not think twice about going back to Dr. Taunton.

Hadn't seen him in 20 years. Same great personality. Very comfortable with him & his staff

So sympathetic to my prolonged pain. Encouraged me with his confidence that he would help get me healed and back to a productive life.

All my visits to his office have provided what I needed.

Dr. Taunton is a confident and caring professional.

Dr. Taunton, Jr. is extremely talented and gifted doctor. He replaced my mother in law’s hip, brother in law’s hip, a close friend’s hip and scoped my knee.

It’s amazing how his staff is so coordinated and treats the patient well.

Impossible to give all five stars, It clears all the stars when you touch on the fifth one. Sarah Scott

Cordial, professional. I got the impression he felt I was wasting his time when he found no hip problem. Suggested the pain was a back issue and suggested an MRI which I appreciated.

As always Dr Taunton is right on with his assessment and a plan for recovery.

Extremely knowledgeable. Answered all my questions thoroughly. I feel very comfortable and confident in his surgical capability.

Always great

Gabby was a true gem to visit with.. Chase was thorough & pleasant.

I actually saw Dr Taunton’s associate Michael …. Great attention, great explanation of my knee’s condition and I left feeling very comfortable about my next steps.

Answered all my questions. Made recommendation for care.

Injection already helping. Have made a recommendation to a friend. 5 stars. Entire experience.

Great communicator and speaks on a personal level.

Dr. Taunton is very professional and caring and absolutely a top-notch hip and knee surgeon. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing his expertise.

Dr. Taunton is an excellent doctor. However, the protocol for knee replacement surgery seems to be a one size fits all rather than based on the individual patient. It would be helpful to see him after surgery rather than waiting three months.

From the moment I made my decision to have bilateral knee surgery I knew Dr Taunton would be the best choice for me. All of his office staff were wonderful as well as my 3 night hospital stay.

Have great confidence in his expertise.

He is the greatest

Practice seems to be way too busy for me. That’s when mistakes get made.

Universally known as an excellent surgeon.

Okay visit

Dr Taunton is the best!!

A great doctor with a great staff

Always has the time to answer questions, even explain it more than once! He has operated on three generations of my family. Strongly recommend him and his staff.

Doctor Taunton replaced both my knees. I consider doctor Thornton the best in the area for any type of knee and hip surgeries.

Very professional and an amazing surgeon. Highly recommended Dr Taunton.

I would highly rate and refer Dr. Taunton. He and his surgical staff are outstanding. This was my first experience having surgery in the "Covid" environment and was a very disappointed in the "back shop" guidance and coaching. Hope this changes soon as the support and preop expectation classes are really needed.

Amazing Dr!

Well run office and professional all the way. Dr. Taunton is open to questions and well thought of,

Very knowledgeable and straightforward. Explained the options available to me and ask which option I would like to utilize.

Dr. Taunton is very capable and approachable. I am so glad to be in his care!
