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.

Initial visit with Taunton and staff
Exploring recommendation and options to resolve hip issue I’ve developed. Scheduling, check in and visit were very easy, quick and professional. Staff was informative and helpful and Dr Taunton was thorough and answered all questions. Overall an excellent experience from a quality staff.

My knees were in bad shape. I was losing my mobility. I reached out to Dr. Taunton and he accepted me as a patient for bilateral knee replacements. I am so grateful for my surgeries and also for the kindness and respect I was shown through the process.

Osteoarthritis visit
I appreciated the staff very much. Very efficient, effective at getting me back and prepared for visit. Dr Taunton is a “partner” in helping me make the right decision in treatment course potentially leading to a total knee replacement (already had my left knee done by him). I trust no one to my surgical decision nor the procedure itself. He is the best.

Experience matters
Dr Taunton has been doing knees so long that he’s seen EVERYTHING and can personalize treatment. Others with less experience do general procedures because they haven’t “seen it all” the way Dr Taunton has.
