Hi Dr Taunton was the 5 hip surgeon I seen this year and the first who cared for me and willing to help
Nov-2024
Dr Taunton repaired 2 torn tendons and it was the easiest recovery I’ve ever had. This was the 3rd time I had this surgery but Dr Taunton didn’t do the first 2 surgeries. He is an excellent Doctor! He did my husband’s knee replacement and my husband hasn’t had any trouble at all so that’s why I chose Dr Taunton. He & his staff are awesome. I’ve never waited more than 15 min to be called back. So many doctors over book & you end up sitting in the waiting room for an hour or more. Words just can’t express how much he impressed me. If I ever have to have surgery on my hip, knee, or my tendons I will definitely go back to Dr Taunton. When you’re in the Hospital you won’t see a Hospital Dr because Dr Taunton will come see you himself and that’s rare these days. I also like the fact he doesn’t have to send you out for MRI, CT, or X-ray because it’s all in his office. The Nurses & PA are great too. If you are seeking a Dr he is the greatest! Forgot to mention the great front desk staff,
