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.

Prentiss Taylor is not a good doctor. He is arrogant and does not listen to his patients. The worst part is, he does not keep up with his education. He misdiagnosed me and stuck with it for well over a year. He lacked the interest and/or capacity to try and figure out why I wasn't getting better. Thankfully, I finally found another more conscientious doctor who gave me the correct diagnosis and medication. My condition instantly improved. Prentiss Taylor's arrogance and ignorance causes harm. Stay. away.

From personal experience, Taylor is cordial with his patients up until they become seriously ill. He's arrogant; internationally inject his patients when asked questions. He quick to conclude a diagnosis without considering other possible causes of certain illness. And can be quite condescending when he challenged by his patients. I would not recommend anyone suffering from low thyroid levels to go to this guy. Prepare for, narrow mind assumptions, ignored questions an rushed out.
