Dr. Taylor Lara, MD

I needed a right hip replacement and had 2 other surgeons turn me down due to my BMI. Dr Lara and his PA Micah Tobin were incredibly kind and answered any questions I had. Surgery was done and from the moment I got up from the hospital bed I had none of the pain I had before. I am so grateful he was able to help me get back to normal function which I haven’t had for a few years!

Very friendly, caring staff and Dr. Dr. Lara did a hip replacement for me 7 weeks ago. Recovery has been challenging because I have a lot of back issues. I was still in a lot of pain at the 6 week post surgery checkup. He reviewed the hip x-rays with me and the the new hip placement looked great. He had reviewed my latest back MRI and thought my back was causing the pain. He put me on a 7 day prednisone pack and the pain was gone for the first 3 or 4 days. The pain was back after 7 days. I called his office for a referral to spine DR. for steroid injections. 10 minutes later they called back with the phone number for the referral. I highly recommend Dr. Lara. He listens well, looks at all the issues, and cares about what will provide the best outcome for his patient.

Great bedside manner and great surgeon!

Condescending, no compassion, and lectured me about smoking and telling me I HAD to quit prior to surgery.. His office staff rode and no understanding of a disabled senior in PAIN.. His boss Dr. Lyons worse, surgery cancelled a day after scheduled!! Don't forget the oath you took. Hero's I dont think so,overworked short curt crabby!! Covid no excuse to treat us like this!!
