Dr. Carolyn Taylor, MD

Dr. Taylor started out seemingly caring and interested in helping but she soon shifted into the mentality that my wife's illness wasn't legitimate and turned into a gatekeeper, preventing her from seeing other doctors at Swedish. She became increasingly condescending and dismissive through emails and overall her attitude towards my wife was disrespectful and lacked any real desire to actually help understand what was going on. Stay away from Dr. Taylor. Her perspective is so myopic that she fails to ascertain anything that doesn't fit in her tiny little box of medicine. STAY AWAY! She's not interested in helping people with anything she can't comprehend after a 10 minute consultation. One of the worst doctor experiences I've ever had. Disgraceful.

Dr. Taylor is an excellent doctor. Her knowledge, compassion and professionalism is extraordinary and really cares about her patients. Being diagnosed with MS is scary enough, however, Dr. Taylor gives you hope and confidence that everything will be okay. I would trust anyone else. I feel so fortunate to have found her!

She diagnosed me after many doctors failed to I had MS for 40 yrs and was almost convinced i was imagining my symptoms until i finally saw her. She suspected immediately and ordered test that confirmed my dx. I initially didnt want treatment though she disagreed. She accepted my decision. Two years later I agreed to treatment when my symptons progressed. She is caring, attentive and explains quite well what is going on. I trust her but she also trust and respects me.

She listened to my concern about an intuition in not taking a specific medication. She listened, faking empathy, and only to manipulate me into taking it; and specifically misdirected me from noting that in was an immune suppressant. Six month's later I was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma and eventually had to go through six intensive rounds of chemo to beat the aggressive cancer. I can only pray the her manipulative ways saved my life in the long wrong by setting the "time bomb" off early.

After 50 years of misdiagnosis, Dr. Taylor got it right. With proper management of my type of migraine, I am almost completely migraine-free.

I have recommended her to a friend, and my friend thought highly of her as well.
