Patient Reviews
Oct 28, 2023
If I had it all to do over again the only thing I would change is that I didn’t break my neck. Dr William Taylor is nothing short of a miracle worker when it comes to surgery. I burst fractured my C5 (splintered into pieces) back in 2005, he fixed it, and 18 years later I still have no pain, no numbness, no paralysis. And when I, as a freshly graduated college student, asked him if there were going to be any restrictions moving forward (I had dreams of becoming a dentist), he said, “Absolutely not, go live your life!” I did, I am, and I am thankful everyday for the confidence he has in his work. He’s not going to coddle you, he’s not going to sugar coat anything, he gives it to you straight. He’s a NEUROSURGEON, and I could not respect or appreciate him more for his professionalism and expertise.
