Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Taylor is a miracle worker- he saves my husband’s life and quality of life against all odds!My husband had a brain aneurysm in 2007 and 2 strokes on the operating table, and Dr. Taylor got out of bed at 2am to operate on him. People don’t often live thru this crisis, or are severely impaired afterward but Dr. Taylor worked a miracle with his skill and tho’ my husband has his quirks with the TBI his recovery was amazing and holds to this day! Dr.Taylor is a true healer and we will always be profoundly grateful- can’t recommend highly enough!!

He was professional until he was told the surgery was not as successful as he had apparently hoped, at which time he became highly irritated and aggressive toward patient.

His staff is extremely rude. If they did not know the answer they will hang up on you. .I just want to see the dr. that performed my surgery which I am unable to do. Are they hiding that my spinal surgery was not performed?? Legal help is my next option!!
