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.

Excellent
Dr. Taylor listened attentively, gave my young adult child a thorough and gentle exam and gave a clear, kind assessment of the situation and our options. His experience and expertise was evident. He followed up with everything we needed. Struck the perfect balance of professionalism and patient centered care. Our family is grateful.

I went to Dr. Taylor years ago and after my myringotomy surgery (tunes in the ear), suffering from continuous ear infections was finally over. He has treated other members of my family. He is the best around.

Dr Taylor has been seeing my daughter for several years and we could not be happier. He performed otoplasty on her when she was 9 and the results were great. She is now 14 and visits the office yearly to make sure all is well. The staff are pleasant and we never have to wait long. As being a nurse I ask a lot of questions and challenge what he might suggest, yet Dr Taylor is easy to talk to and does listen to what you have to say. I never felt rushed or brushed off by him or his staff.

I would highly recommend Dr. Howard Taylor for anyone struggling with a TBI. Dr. Taylor was extremely kind, genuine, and had a lot of patience with me. He took the time to listen to me and was exceptionally knowledge about the brain, how it functions, and brain injuries. He updated me on new discoveries and knowledge on brain injuries. I have struggled with this brain injury for the last four years and I haven’t found a doctor that is as understanding and knowledgeable as Dr. Taylor.
