Dr. Matthew Taylor, MD

I didn't get it, he does not listen. I told him about my BP problems and how it would fluctuate randomly depending on my stress, he wouldn't believe that it would fluctuate from being very low to being very high. He made me so upset, although I'm very good at hiding stress. He proved himself wrong within a couple of minutes of telling him that I'm not fabricating anything and was being very upfront with him, he measured my BP a couple of minutes apart, I'd say no more than 2 minutes and it was dramatically different, I'm talking by more than 50 mmhg. I went to him for help and left even more stressed out and anxious. He told me he didn't believe very low BP readings were real...why on earth would I make it up, it serves me no purpose. On a side note, he put the wrong notes in my chart and said that I was non compliant on a medication, it wasn't true I was taken off of a medication by a doctor in their hospital and it was later adjusted. He apologized, but it could have been a problem.

Dr. Matthew Taylor took the time to listen to my issues. He appreciated my desire to use natural medicine as much as possible, and scheduled testing to find the cause of my issues, using the simplest methods first. I felt like I was part of my health care team which hasn't been the norm for some time. He didn't talk down to me and asked for my thoughts on any plan that he presented.
