Read his many Y**p one-star reviews. I made a big mistake and didn't listen to my intuition and followed him down a long hall to the operating room. He was 20 steps ahead of me, and I nervously followed him. When he injected me with the numbing medication and started the surgery, I could feel EVERYTHING! I was screaming and yelling and begging him to stop, to no avail. He was yanking my arms down and ramming the cannula inside my back like there was no tomorrow. I was so scared because I was alert and knew he could hear me yelling, but he would not stop. I was in so much pain. He made a couple more holes in my back just to say he did the surgery (moved the cannula in and out 3 times in each area..) It's 1.5 years later, and my back, from my bra down, looks the exact same as it did pre-surgery (like an extra butt). I was panting and swinging my arms to get him to stop, and he kept going. Dr. Taylor knows exactly who I am... Also, during the buccal fat removal, he broke my jaw. Go at your own risk. Other reviews have tried to warn you...

Time to retire... Surprised his is still in business. Patients Do your research!

The moment I walked into this office I felt comfort. Dr. Taylor took the time to listen to my concerns and addressed them quite perfectly. I am pleased beyond words. Thank you. -J.M.

Dr. Taylor did a mini tummy tuck on me, said I was a "perfect candidate" for the procedure. Worst is I have a "shelf" of fat and puckery skin created above the incision. My incision is crooked and curves up higher on one side. Instead of pulling skin down from my belly button to flatten my tummy, he pulled UP the skin from my pubic area, now the hairy pubic area is twice as high as it was before surgery. Who wants that result? They told me to wear my lowest cut underwear on surgery day so Dr. Taylor would know where to make the incision and it would be hidden by my undies, BUT it is nowhere near my underwear line! The incision is only three fingers below my belly button, and more than 9 inches long. I'll never be in a two piece again. I'm very unhappy with the results and wish I never let him cut me.

I had a breast aug with him a year ago and am very happy with everything. He spends time with me and does not make me feel rushed. Great Dr. and staff!

Although this doctor tries to do the right thing but it appears that he has no experience with certain procedures including chin augmentation. He truly messed up mine.

Dr. Taylor is seriously the best Doctor around, not only because he is knowledgable, but also caring. I know others who have gone to him and have the same opinion. He is not money hungry either...he will not perform surgery on you if he feels it is dangerous or unnecessary. LOVE HIM!

I am not sure why Dr. Taylor has bad reviews on here. I used him for my first procedure in 2003 and now several years later will be using him again. I visited other Drs in the area just to get some 2nd opinions this time around. I can tell you none of them spent even half as much time as Dr. Taylor did answering my questions. I feel like my only criticism is follow up there really isnt much of that but, the staff is always there to answer any questions and is always willing to put up with my millions of questions.

(my original size). His staff was not helpful AT ALL and after having my tummy tuck, I had to go shopping for a girdle! I was in pain and had paid for this garment before surgery but was given some bizarre wrap around thing that did not go tight enough. When I asked his staff about my breast, I was told it would be another $10,000 to fix them. Seriously? This was the most expensive procedure and to add another $10,000 was unmanageable. They didn’t call me for a six-month evaluation and I honestly felt as though the staff and maybe the doc saw me as a cash cow. He does great suturing and my scars are hardly noticeable but I am in constant pain because of my breast size.

Dr. Taylor performed a corrective blepharoplasty on my eyes after a prominent Beverly Hills plastic surgeon left me disfigured. He was extremely kind and reassuring, even gave me a very good price (out of sympathy for my situation). The result: perfect. A great guy, and a very good plastic surgeon - with a terrific staff!

Very thorough with an explanation of the procedure. [Patient was my 9 year-old daughter.] Highly recommended by another physician.
