I'm a senior and no stranger to dentists. Dr. Taylor has worked improving my issues diligently, fairly and with great skill. His office staff are always helpful and very personable.

I switched dentists from Dr Barsanti to Dr Taylor about a year ago and I couldn't be happier. Dr…read moreTaylor is thorough and a great dentist. He listens and gives clear and helpful tips on how to maintain oral health. Kay is an outstanding dental hygienist. She takes time to really clean my teeth, better than any cleaning I've had in over 10 years. Since she's been my hygienist my gum/periodontal health has improved. Between Kay & Dr Taylor, I'm in good hands! And then there is Lori, their dental insurance guru. She is extremely skilled in dealing with insurance companies and is so patient and understanding of challenges with insurance billing. I've had a great experience at this business and I highly recommend Dr Taylor to anyone who wants to maintain a high standard of oral health. It's just the team you want on your side caring for your teeth!

I can wear headphones and rock out to my own music while he's working and that's so helpful for me. I had a complicated extraction and the procedure was pain free. I didn't even feel the novocaine sticks from the needle. That was new for me! I was thrilled! He's got an extremely gentle hand and I will continue to see him for anything I need done! My results were fantastic, I highly recommend him. Update: just had another visit because I broke a tooth a couple weeks ago. Another pain free wonderful experience. He's cured me from my dentist anxiety! The man is a magician.

I have only experienced seconds of pain with his injections, and have complimented him on his level of skil in doing them. He is always up on latest approaches and options; he has always been attentive, kind, and generous to me. A highly skilled endodontist in our area recommended him to me. His staff is caring and kind, and all take a personal interest in the patients. "Joan," who is the secretary and biller, has always gone out of her (busy) way in to get me in as soon as is possible. All of the billing has always been prompt and computed accurately; all charges have always been correct. I am loyal to them in part because of the way the superior patient care she has provided. I came on "Yelp" today to find his phone number in order to make an appointment. When I read the review by "Keeley", I was surprised; it sounded like it had to be about the office of some other dentist, and I felt moved to tell my experience.

Dental work is extremely expensive no matter where you go and insurance in general isn't empathetic but the staff here have worked with me to build a plan thats in my budget and are happy to answer any questions about coverage.

After multiple unsuccessful attempts getting in touch with other dentists in the area, I was finally able to connect with Dr. Tim who agreed to see me on very short notice the next day! Not only that, but he fixed the chip and touched up the tooth to the point that the tooth actually looked BETTER than it had before! Dr. Tim has got to be the nicest, most personable dentist I've ever met. I have a lot anxiety going to dentist's offices (mostly due to my fear of needles) and he went very far out of his way to make me feel comfortable prior to getting my filling. All around an amazing experience -- cannot recommend these folks highly enough!
