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.

A bright light in the world of medicine.
Dr. Taylor is compassionate and shows his concern and interest in you as an individual and as his patient. He is knowledgeable and thorough and I am thankful to have him as my doctor. He is a role model for his profession.

Excellent! I highly recommend Dr Taylor & staff
Everything from my initial phone request for an appointment to conclusion of my procedure and follow-up today (March 5, 2025) was flawless and excellent. I didn't have to wait for months for an appointment which was a load off my mind. They do an extensive intake interview on the phone, to get my procedure pre-approved with my insurance. Once approved, I was able to be scheduled within a week of my follow-up scheduling phone call. Everybody was professional, attentive, thorough, answered my questions quickly and accurately, and the procedure went very smoothly. There was steady communication via e-mail with reminders and info on my appointment and preparation for the colonoscopy. The building was modern, clean, efficient, welcoming and easy to find. Parking ample and close. I couldn't ask for more! Everybody was on time and all went as planned and expected. Albuquerque is LUCKY to have this facility, doctors and staff. Thank you!

I had no issues with the providers seen during my recent colonoscopy appointment. Excepting having to wait almost a year to get in and being incorrectly told by billing staff that they didn't take my secondary insurance. (Kudos to the front desk, she knew better.) My real complaint occurred while awaiting my procedure. I found that the cackling, loud laughter and gossiping about other employees by the ladies at the procedure desk was highly unprofessional. Obviously they don't have enough work to do to keep busy between their primary duties. Those of us who haven't eaten for 2 days and may be fearing receiving a devastating life altering diagnosis expect a higher level of professionalism.

Excellent medical care!
Dr. Taylor came to my medical exam very well prepared. He had read my medical file before my office visit and was able to address all of my questions and concerns. What a kind, caring, professional doctor who truly seemed concerned about my well being. Dr. Taylor's staff was also courteous, professional, and efficient. There was no wait time at his office. I am happy to travel over 60 miles from my residence for my next visit with Dr. Taylor and his team. They have earned my trust!
