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.

Very rude and uncaring. I would NEVER recommend him to anyone. He was simply horrible to me. I found another doctor because I truly detest this man.

Dr. Traylor takes such good care of me! He tracks my symptoms and medications closely which enables him to pick-up on things that a less skilled doctor might overlook. His attentiveness and knowledge led him to diagnose me with a rare form of arthritis. Over the years I've been a patient, he has been a blessing to me.

Does not care about his patients WHATSOEVER. Rude, no sympathy, no respect, and did not care about me as a patient. I loved the ladies that worked there but I waited atleast an hour or 2 hours to be seen. Dr. Traylor would not explain the medication he would put me on and I had awful side effects from the medication. Interrupts me when I ask questions and never lets me finish a sentence.

Rude. No bedside manner. Did not listen to anything I had to say. Cut me off every time I tried to ask a question or answer his question. Stood with his back to me most of the time.

Dr Traylor has uncovered multiple health issues that I have had that didn't even relate to Rheumatology. On each occasion, he did not hesitate to phone me to let me know I needed to see my GP and get the issue addressed.

Dr. Taylor was very rude and uncaring toward me. He stood with his back to me as he was talking to me. He made a strange, out of place statement to me on 2 separate visits. He said I would never be out of pain and that it wasn't his fault that I was sick..I will never go to this pompous man again!

Dr. Traylor is very thorough. Some of the side effects of the medication that I take made me a bit nervous at first but I know that he is on top of it. My condition has improved tremendously since I've started seeing him.
