First doctor that actually got involved with seeing my issues and not saying, surgery now. A nice change of pace. I’ll need both knees replaced soon, but this gives me time to finish a project or two.

Good visit at Texas Orthopedic Specialists today. They did x-rays, then Dr. Taunton did his exam. He told me what the was with my right knee, and what we could do for it now or in the future.

Great care and attention to patient. I am 6 weeks out from knee replacement and feel the strongest I have in years. Thanks Dr. Taunton and Team.

Most talented surgeon for total hips and total knees in the metroplex. His experience, and surgical technique is superior. My first total hip was minimally invasive, with no complications. My recovery went great. He listens and answers all your questions. Great doctor!
