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. She operated on me the day after I first saw her. She is most caring and compassionate dr I have ever encountered. I owe my life to her

My most recent lumpectomy, performed by Dr. Taft, was far superior to two former surgeries. Although she had to remove a larger lump, there was far less tissue damage, pain and scarring related to Dr. Taft's surgery. As part of my surgery Dr. Taft voluntarily cleaned up a messy scar caused by the former surgeon. Moreover, Dr. Taft has assembled a high quality, highly responsive support staff. My prior surgeon's staff was unprofessional and rarely returned calls the same day, even after an operation. You do not want to entrust your healthcare to a dysfunctional office because more mistakes can arise. Bottom line: Go with Dr. Taft to avoid all the problems I experienced by selecting the wrong surgeon the first and second time around. Dr. Taft is truly a very gifted surgeon with a big heart.

Dr Taft, your caring and compassion did not exist when I was told I had invasive lobular carcinoma. After 5 mos of asking and you telling me, you would make a biopsy happen, and when it did happen and I was now being told that I had Cancer, it was the most frightening time of my life. It was a full week, at a scheduled appointment, that you spoke with me directly and informed me that you recommended a bilateral mastectomy. I hope and pray that if you have a family member go through breast cancer, they will never have to deal with a doctor who isn’t listening. No compassion or caring..just lots of unnecessary testing. I came to you with a good sized lump that had grown larger for over a year!! I wrote you a letter 3 months later, after having the surgery, and gave you my email, hoping I would hear from you. Weeks went by and no response of any kind. On 6/19/19 I had the surgery by a truly caring Dr. I have sleepless nights thinking about what could have happened.

Dr. Taft saved my girlfriend from another doctor, who had turned out to just not care. She is the best, in terms of bedside manner, time given to the patient, knowledge and surgical technique, everything. We love her. She is a blessing.

Dr Nancy Taft is a fantastic surgeon. I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. She is extremely knowledgeable and is very thorough. She cares deeply for her patients and has an excellent bedside manner. Would highly recommend her to anyone with breast cancer.
