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.

Little liar
Telehealth
We scheduled a PAP to be done. Dr Taylor opened me for 5 seconds and did no swabs. She's an ambulance chaser and not honest. She lied about the CDC recommendation. If you didn't do PAPS at my age why schedule me and pretend to do it. A VERY WEIRD LADY

World’s Greatest Doctor
I have been going to Dr. Taylor for many years and when I say she’s the “World’s Greatest Doctor”, I mean it. I trust her with my life. She’s kind, thorough, efficient, and she cares about her patients. Dr. Taylor ensures you have a clear understanding of your condition. I highly recommend her.

The most efficient office I’ve ever visited……
I’ve been with Dr. Taylor about 3 or 4 years and I have never had a problem or complaint about the office procedures or environment. I normally arrive for my appointments approximately 10-15 minutes early and am serviced within 5 to 10 minutes of my scheduled appointment time. This office seems to always be on schedule with few people waiting in the office. During the exam, the conversation will switch from candid to personal (related to your health), so you’ll have to be prepared to follow along as she completes her duties. It seems as though the entire operation is seamless and things flow from one thing to another and before you know it, everything is done and it’s time to go. I will not be leaving her anytime soon.

I have seen Dr. Taylor for years and years. I have always loved her. Until today. Today, 1/3/22, I called to make an appointment due to pain I am having, and I was told she would not be seeing anyone who is unvaccinated. I am absolutely appalled. Regardless of my vaccination status, a good doctor would see ANY patient in need. I literally could have cancer growing inside my body, and my own OBGYN is refusing to see unvaccinated people. I can't support this. Completely unbelievable. I thought Dr.'s had an hippocratic oath to uphold. But instead, it seems like they are beholden to the pharmaciticual industry. Humanity is doomed if all doctors go this way.

It was an excellent experience she was very through, and reassuring about a problem that I had experienced. The staff was friendly, and I liked that it was a small office rather than a large, factory type practice.

I left my last visit to Dr. Taylor in tears. She was upset that I wanted to change birth controls, and after having to defend my choice, she finally prescribed me another one. I had told her that I have PCOS and thus, high testosterone, and knowing this, she prescribed me a birth control with VERY high androgenic effects that made me absolutely miserable. She was rough with me despite my past trauma. And lastly, she promoted disordered eating simply because I was overweight (I didn't ask).

I've been going to Dr. Taylor for almost ten years. What I love about Dr. Taylor is that she is very straight forward, compassionate and she's always addressed any concerns I've ever had. Dr. Taylor had to perform a routine procedure on me about 3 years ago. She explained the entire process, and suggested I get a second opinion. The procedure went well, and I'm now pain free. I'm very comfortable with Dr. Taylor and I would definitely recommend her to friends and family.

I have seen Dr. Taylor for years, she has always been technically good but brusque. Went to discuss infertility concerns with her and was told to get a dog followed by you don't have to have babies to be a family followed by adoption is the equivalent of cheating on your husband followed by just relax and it will happen. Good thing there was real science to back all of that up. Except there wasn't and that kind of misinformation is both traumatic and dangerous.

I had a terrible experience with Dr taylor. I will never go back to her again. When women have a problem going on they are a little worried or scared and making false accusations to them and then telling them they have to wait a week for results isn't something you should do for your patients. I got a second opinion from another doctor and was able to have my issue resolved same day. Where she doesn't listen to you or answer questions and just sends you on your way.
