We have been seeing Dr Taylor for a long time. I cannot give him enough stars. He has a great sense of humor which is really appreciated with dealing with chronic and rare conditions. If he doesn’t know he doesn’t pretend that he does and he seeks solutions! As the practice has grown and changed scheduling challenges can be frustrating and mostly because he is not driven by insurance protocols and will spend the needed time with each and every patient. I can’t give enough stars . Seriously

I recently had my first visit after being referred to Dr. Taylor and I was impressed. His office staff was welcoming and thorough, his assistants were kind and explained everything detail. I arrived 30 mins early and was shocked when called right back right away. Dr. Taylor is an amazing doctor who is truly invested in his patients health. His enthusiasm for his work is apparent from the moment you step into his office, making for a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. He pays close attention to detail and takes into close account a variety of factors when prescribing a treatment plan. Dr. Taylor is caring, knowledgeable and thorough. I highly recommend Dr. Taylor.

I’ve had two kids receive tubes, and now one kid needing a tonsillectomy through Dr. Taylor. He takes the time to explain everything and acknowledges every concern. I recommend him to every friend in need of an ENT.
