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.

Concerned and very caring.
January 2024, I saw Dr, Taggart in the emergency room at Weaverville Hospital. I was in pain and was in need of surgery. He told me to go to Mercy for further care. He was very professional. I ended up in ICU at Mercy. Dr. Taggart helped to save my life!

Diagnosis a tension headache a vert. Art. Irregularities. Dont care about patient. Walk around with a snotty attitude. If you get him immediately request someone else if possible. This guy should reviewed by the board. Didnt even read patient medical to see how serious it is.

I have never been cared for so little by a doctor. This is sad. I hope he gets his medical license revoked because quite frankly, It feels like he cheated to get his MD. That’s how bad he is

I feel it is very unprofessional to watch a doctor criticize the other doctors and staff in earshot of patients and family. They say he is the boss and I feel very sorry for the employees working under him.
