Dr. Taillac preformed a surgery to reattach the tendons in my hand on the first visit. She was very quick and precise with little to no pain even while opting to be awake, not put under anesthesia. I had a great experience and left impressed knowing I had movement again.

Dr Taillac was professional but kind and gave excellent details on what was wrong and what I needed to do. I really liked her demeanor and this was a great patient experience.

Dr. Taillac performed surgery on my broken wrist. She showed me the X-rays and explained in detail what she would do, and after surgery was very patient speaking with my sister and telling in detail what she’d done and what I could expect. I completed her recommended therapy, and I would never know I have a plate and 8 screws inside. Back to normal!

superb care. Knew the questions to ask and made diagnosis with confidence. Clearly explained the options for treatment and let me make an informed consent. Then delivered the treatment with skill. I recommend this provider, absolutely.
