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.

He is an amazing doctor that helped me decide in making my choice of Gastric Bypass roux-en-Y to the surgery of it back in Aug 2016. He discovered a Hernia and fixed that while he was in there. My heaviest was 357ibs and now I am at 141ibs. He treats you respectfully and will get back to you quickly if you have any concerns. His staff is remarkable too!

I have not had the opportunity to meet or speak to Dr.Taylor i did call his office just to get some information .I felt unwelcome by the secretary .It took me a week to build my nerves up just to call the office . I did not know the Saginaw office was no longer here. this was the Ypsilanti office that i briefly spoke to .I heard and read great things about Dr. Taylor and staff .I HOPE to try and reach this office again with better results. 1/23/2019 A.Hasan

SCAM ARTIST!! Went to the Barix clinic for a presentation about weight loss surgery options. I decided that it wasn't right for me. His office sent me a bill for a "NEW OUTPATIENT VISIT" I never agreed to be a patient of his! I ONLY WENT IN FOR A FREE INFORMATIONAL SEMINAR! THAT'S IT!! The clinic was old and was leaking black liquid from the ceiling. The employees were very RUDE! PLUS....there is currently a class action lawsuit pending against BARIX clinic.

Dr Taylor and all his staff and staff at forest health medical center were great. I had the gastric sleeve surgery on 1/11/16 & I've already lost 26lbs (1/20/16). I couldn't have done it without all of the staff and doctor's preparing me & supporting me throughout my experience...thank you so much :-)
