My wife and I are both patients of Dr.Taunton. My wife had an appointment to see him. I went with her, and after he had examined her hip, and even though I did not have an appointment scheduled with him, he made time for me as well. Dr. Taunton is an amazing surgeon: professional, compassionate and genuinely caring of his patients' needs. I have the highest regard for him.
