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.

Caring Professional
I've been seeing Dr. Taylor for more than 5 years and could not be happier. She is thorough and explains everything so well, but her kindness is so genuine! She is easy to talk to and seems to anticipate questions sometimes before I even ask. She's a great physician and such a jewel for women under her care!

I was pleased with the suggestions made to prevent fractures as I age. She was very much aware of my medical history and suggested necessary procedures.

What stood out for me is the fact that Dr. Taylor was so professional yet compassionate. She explained my results in terms that I understood. Not only did she educate me but also gave me time and attention. Dr. Taylor made me feel that she cared about my problem. She has been amazing for the 31 years that I have known her. Kudos!

OBGYN
Dr Brenda Taylor is efficient and very attentive to your needs. She never lets anything get by without asking about it. I was in for a Pap Smear and she noticed some swelling around my upper lip and she addressed it. Any marks or pimples present during your breast examination she notices it.

Best OBGYN
I went to Dr. Taylor’s office since I was in high school. She even helped birthed my little sister. I love this Dr. She is very personable and her staff is amazing. I wish I could still see her, but due to how the scheduling is done for this type of Dr. I had to change to another Dr. In the same office. But she’s good as well. I miss Dr. Taylor. Very seasoned professional OBGYN!

A+ start to finish
From the moment you walk in Dr Taylor’s office you are greeted by friendly, caring staff who keep you moving and not waiting for the whole appointment. Dr Taylor is thorough and in a caring way asks about your whole health to make sure I am getting in all those preventative appointments outside of my yearly exam. Dr Taylor explains every test and makes recommendations when needed. I always dread this yearly appointment but since I switched to Dr Taylor several years ago the dread has changed to being relaxed and grateful for such an amazing environment, staff and doctor.

Terrible Service and I never leave reviews
My Mother wanted to support this Dr. one of our own is what she would say. I wished I read the reviews. My mother said she walked in and the Dr. said looks like you have a belly full of fibroids. No ultrasound was done , nothing scheduled. She left empty handed and used. Her words. They were focused on getting her to complete a mammogram that same day tho. She called me and told me and I told her to leave the office immediately. That’s not what she came in for. They never did a follow up. Terrible service. My mother died a month after her visit. She was heartbroken. All she wanted was someone who looked like her to just care. Please stop it now. Stop being about the money. This is not to bash you .. learn from this please! You have been in service too to get this type of review.

Routine appointment
Dr. Taylor is by far the best gynecologist I have encountered. With the world changing rapidly, the chaos and all the uncertainty, my time with Dr. Taylor was a breath of fresh air. She did not rush, as most do nowadays. Her calm demeanor, gentle touch and her smile was just what I needed. She is professional, kind and courteous. Oh, btw the heating pad was a nice bonus. I am greatful that there's a doctor who has bedside manners, and one that make you feel that, the time she is with you, it's all about you. She explained everything she was doing, before doing it. Very thorough exam. Thank you Dr. Taylor. I pray God will bless you and your family abundantly. The world could use a few more care givers like you.

AWESOME APPOINTMENT!!!
My 15 yo son transitioned in 2017, so I've been real skeptical about going to ANY doctors since. Dr. Taylor's office was the first doctor's office I had visited since this heartbreaking ordeal. I almost had a panic attack when I first visited her office and I was seriously in tears, but Dr Taylor and her staff were so attentive and friendly to me. They took their time with me and made me relax before starting my appointment (which I really appreciated). The hugs received from her are always genuine, her bedside manner is so soothing. The way she is so welcoming in her office to explain your individual health assessment is so endearing to me. I love how she expresses her concern for my health and her recommendations on how to get better. I'm glad I chose this particular office and I recommend her to everyone that I meet whether they have a regular ob/gyn or not. Thank you Dr Taylor and staff for being YOU!

Amazing Visit w/Dr. Taylor and Staff
WOW...I have been very apprehensive about the task of finding a new GYN, however, let me say that from the moment I entered into Dr. Taylor's suite until I left the office was nothing short of an AWESOME experience. Dr. Taylor, her nurse and the staff were very attentive!! And, I love that Dr. Taylor conversed with me prior to my disrobing and after my examination I was shown to her office to discuss her findings and plan(s) of action. Thank you ALL for an AMAZING Experience!!
