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.

Excellent Doc
Dr Taylor has removed 2 rather big lipomas..one fairly easy and one more complicated. He did an excellent job with both and I would not hesitate to recommend him. He is personable, professional and on time for appointments. Great staff...very satisfied!!
