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.

First, I've never written any type of review (good or bad) so, understand that I'm prompted now due to a level of displeasure that is totally new to me. I was referred to Dr. Cort Taliaferro by Towne Dermatology for a procedure to remove tissue related to a melanoma on my face. It took from 2/25 to 3/9 to get a call to schedule my procedure and then I was given an appointment for 3/20. I was advised to arrive 15 minutes early and I got there at least 20 minutes before my 9:30 appointment. I advised them at check-in that I was told that a prescription for a one dose antibiotic was to have been sent to my pharmacy but that the pharmacy never received the order and I hadn't taken the pill in advance as I was told was necessary. I then sat in the waiting room until 10:45 before asking the status of my 9:30 appointment. The answer I was given was that they'd let me know when a room became available--no venture at estimating time--just "they'd let me know". Too many bad signs--I left.

It's been about 5 years since I had vertigo and saw Dr. Taliaferro yesterday (10/04/17) as the vertigo had come back. I was hoping he could set/align the crystals like he did before. Literally speaking he worked his magic in just a few minutes. I walked out of the office with no light-headedness or spinning! I also just had a hip replacement and was so fearful of falling. Thank you so much Dr. Taliaferro for curing me once again.
