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.
