Thank you Dr Taylor I'm so grateful for you!
I am a long-time patient of Dr. Taylor and the Alvord BT Center team. Once again, Dr. Taylor was terrific. My MRI had been flagged "abnormal and worrisome of tumor recurrence " by the reviewing radiologist, so I was scared stepping into the appointment. She immediately informed me that, based on the extra time she and the team had just taken to review my 20 yr history, the MRI results did not indicate this. She spent significant time reviewing MRI images to help me understand her analysis of my mri results. We then proceeded to discuss my upcoming treatment plan (already in place). She asked questions of me throughout and was responsive to mine. She was, as always, kind, patient clear and attentive (with that signature twinkle in her eye and smile when appropriate). I feel so very fortunate to be under her care, and deeply grateful for all of the additional time (years) I will be able to live and enjoy my "one wild and precious life", as the poet Mary Oliver described the journey.
I love Dr. Taylor. She is kind, thorough skilled, positive, and encouraging.
I am so grateful for Dr. Taylor being a part of my care team. She breaks down options and treatments to me on a way that is much more easily understood than I have ever experienced. She not only gives me the options that I have but she also lays out the pros and cons, the risks and benefits to each choice very clearly. She completely leaves the treatment choice in my hands but I feel that I am very well informed about each option after seeing Dr. Taylor.
Dr. Taylor is a highly knowledgeable and compassionate doctor.

Medical providers don't come any better than Dr. Taylor. We're so lucky to have her - and so is the UWMC...! So thank your lucky stars and treat her well... Just the best...!!!!
Dr. Taylor was absolutely phenomenal to get to meet with via Zoom for my appointment. This was a 2nd opinion visit I had planned out and hoped to get more clarity and understanding moving forward concerning my diagnosis and the treatment available for someone such as myself.I felt that Dr. Taylor did a better job than numerous other providers I have met with in the past few months. Dr. Taylor was able to give me a better understanding of what my diagnosis means and what the options will be short and long term with different potential outcomes. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Taylor and hope to continue to see her in the future.
Excellent attn to patient and to spouse.
