Dr. Joseph Gaston Taylor, DO

A complicated wound is a life-threatening race against time that cares nothing about circumstances you can hear pounding in the background. Enter Dr. Joseph Taylor: he has the heart of a Fire Chief and the soul of a Healer. Beneath his non-judgmental core and mild temperament lies an intensely well-versed spectrum of expertise coupled with Mercury-swift thinking which essentially saved my husband's life -- on more than one occasion. As if that wasn't enough, Dr. Taylor's compassion and deep-seated whole-body/family approach to medicine bolstered us through every step of a process that tested our lives in ways unimagined. The nursing & peripheral support staff are top-notch, but be forewarned that Duke has dragged its feet in addressing ongoing administrative issues that fall under the purview of IT, which at times created otherwise avoidable frustration. Nevertheless. If you're reading this, you or a loved one are in some distress, and you can trust Dr. Taylor to do whatever is humanly… possible to help: he is a rare find in today's world of medicine, a gift to his patients, and we love and highly recommend him.

Dr. Taylor was very informative about my mothers condition. He went above and beyond to make her comfortable. We need more doctors like Dr. Taylor.
