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.

Awesome doctor, very nice, very helpful to me with my kidney stone issues. She had a great understanding of my situation and offered plenty of recommendations to correct the problem. I'm so glad that I was referred to her by my GP

Condescending, judgmental, and rude. I have never in my life have encountered such an off-putting medical professional. I highly suggest seeking another urologist before subjecting yourself to this miserable person.

Time to retire, lady. – Feb 20, 2020

Horrible bedside manner. Took eons to get in. She was not prepared or looked at my records and I felt like an awful burden. I know my medical history. I’ve lived my life. I almost don’t wanna go back!

Taggert has a horrible bedside manner and doesn't listen. She is very condescending and argumentative. It was so bad that I ended up walking out during the appointment. I will be finding a different doctor.

Our experience over several years with Dr. Taggart has been extremely positive. She listens, never seems rushed and has helped us make good healthcare decisions. She has performed two successful surgeries for my husband, providing excellent follow up information and support. She communicates clearly and directly. All office staff are sensitive, efficient and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Taggart!

Diane and Pete Mohn in Sun Valley, ID – Feb 02, 2019

The whole office is rude, as was the doctor. She argued with me as to my complaints of symptoms and referred me back to the physician who sent me to see her. I saw a PA in the office and he was worse than her. It’s sickening to wait as long as it takes to get in and then be sent away.
