Robert M. Taylor III, DDS Reviews
Great place! Outstanding customer service!
The staff are always friendly and were able to get me in quickly if I had problems. I just had a crown put on today and I was out the door in 30 minutes with no pain. It took my previous dentist almost 2 hours to put my crown on and the pain during this procedure was awful. Dr. Taylor and his staff did an amazing job. I would highly recommend choosing his office if you are not happy with yours.
I have always had a fear of the dentist and never liked going. I have been to a lot of dental offices but none like Dr. Taylor’s. His staff is absolutely wonderful. They all make you feel so comfortable and they care. Taylor worked on 2 cavities and made sure I was totally taken care of the entire process. Dr. Taylor was quick, efficient but also gentle and reassuring. Taylor talked me through the entire process and made sure I knew what was going on. 100/10 recommend this office if you are looking for a dentist.
Great service staff are always pleasant
