I would rate Dr. Taylor's dental practice as a five star practice. He is very thorough, knowledgeable, and cares about our dental health as well as our overall health.
I have been a patient for thirteen years and my husband for over six years. We have both had crowns, root canals, and bi-yearly checkups and cleaning. Dr. Taylor always explains each procedure thoroughly and lets us ask questions and make the decision about the needed work without any pressure. Our experience is that he is painless and always does quality work.
Dr. Taylor and his staff are friendly, caring, and professional from the time you enter the office until you leave. My husband and I have and will continue to recommend him to friends and family. We appreciate having a dentist who keeps up to date on the newest dental procedures and technology.

I have been seeing Dr. Taylor and his competent staff since November 2008 and have been very pleased with their dental services. While I haven't had the need for more than routine preventitive maintenance, I would be confident in Dr. Taylor's expertise in anything more extensive. He is regularly on-time, attentive, considerate and thorough. I have been impressed with the state-of-the-art equipment and procedures used to make my visits as pleasant and effective as possible. I would recommend Dr. Taylor without reservation.

I have been a patient of Dr. Taylor's for almost five years - he is a very kind, considerate person. I had one cap but did not have pain during the entire proceture and it fit on the first fitting.
All of the charges are up front and I know what I have to pay. He also accepts many insurance companies.
I have recommended my daughter to come here to the dentist. She lives in Alaska where they change dentists every three months. I would recommend Dr. Taylor to any of my friends.

I have been seeing Dr. Taylor for over 10 years for my dental work.
Dr. Taylor have successfully performed a number of procedures with my teeth to keep them working well. Examples, teeth extraction, crowns, restoration, and teeth cleaning.
He communicates very well, has two nice ladies working in the office, and the office atmosphere is positive and professional.
He is located about 2-3 blocks off the freeway. And just south of the NorthGate mall.

"I have been seeing Dr. Taylor for probably 6 years now. Dr. Taylor has cleaned my teeth, fitted me for a mouthguard, and did a mold of my teeth to fit me for a tray for whitening. He has also taught me the importance of flossing in a kind and gentle way. I have received nothing but stellar service from Dr. Taylor and his staff. They are all wonderful and always make me feel welcome. Each time I walk in, I am greeted with a smile, and they all seem to remember what we talked about the last time I was in. It's rare to find a dentist and staff that make me want to keep coming back, but I actually look forward to my visits with Dr. Taylor and his staff."
"Dr. Taylor is always on time. In one case I can remember when he needed to cancel, he called me himself and it wasn't a big deal at all. He's always very punctual. Dr. Taylor definitely listens to me when I'm talking, and it's hard considering the majority of our time spent together he is cleaning my teeth. I have NEVER felt pressured by Dr. Taylor to do any work in my mouth that isn't necessary. He isn't pushy or demeaning. He always simply explains a situation and how I can fix it, and mostly that involves flossing. This is definitely one of the reasons that keeps me coming back."
"Dr. Taylor is painless to go see. It's actually a pleasure to see him since him and his staff are so nice, all with a gentle touch. I always look forward to my appointments since Dr. Taylor and his staff are all so friendly, and I know I will always have nice conversations while I'm there. I actually have my husband, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and friend all seeing Dr. Taylor. I recommend him to anyone who says they are looking for a dentist. He was a great find!" -Amy Howard
"I have been a patient of Dr. Taylor's since he took over the practice of my previous dentist. He has allowed me to keep a smile that shows my teeth, has spotted trouble and shared with me what had to be done, and above all has kept me from ever having a toothache. He and his staff have always been caring and always professional during every dental procedure I have had. I appreciate him as my dentist and consider him a friend." -Evelyn M. MacDonald
"Dr. Robert Taylor has been my dentist since he began his dental practice at his current location. He took the practice over when my former dentist retired. I have been just as pleased with Dr. Taylor as I was with my previous dentist. His office staff is very pleasant and welcoming. They make you feel at ease as soon as you arrive for an appointment. In addition to twice yearly exams and cleanings, I have had several fillings and crowns done by Dr. Taylor. He always clearly explains the need for any procedure and if there is any urgency or if it can be done at a later time. There is never any pressure to make a quick decision. I find Dr. Taylor to be very gentle and his treatment to be quite painless, even the injection prior to some procedures. Dr. Taylor is easy to talk to and is always concerned about my comfort. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Taylor as an excellent and compassionate dentist." -Helen North
"I've been seeing Dr. Taylor for over 20 years for just about everything: cleanings, fillings, replacement of fillings, caps, crowns, veneers, extractions, and partial plates. Dr. Taylor and his staff are always on time unless he's treating an emergency, and even then they manage time well. They treat each person kindly and with full attention, listen to concerns and issues, ask questions as needed to clarify, and respond thoroughly. Dr. Taylor always explains the options in treatment and allows me to choose what will work for me based on the education he provides, often with illustrations, models, etc."
Dr. Taylor has never pressured me to choose a more expensive procedure, even when he is an expert at that. For example, I know he would do a wonderful implant for me; he did for a friend that I sent to him. But I can't afford it; he acknowledges that, and has given me the very best care for the next-best solution. Dr. Taylor takes every measure possible to treat me without pain, and he has a way of slipping a needle into the gum, leaving me wondering when he's going to do it (it's already done). He constantly checks to see how I'm doing and I know would make an adjustment if I were uncomfortable. I never have been.
I have complete trust in Dr. Taylor. I am so impressed with his level of skill, his quality of caring about giving me the very best, and his passion for excellence -- his pride in his work. I have recommended him to friends and family, and no one has been disappointed. Being able to trust your dentist, to know he won't hurt you, will give you the information you need to make good choices, and will always give you his best work is worth everything!" -June Ireland
"My family has been seeing Dr. Taylor for approximately 15 years. The thing I like most about Dr. Taylor is his technique in administering Novocaine. The first time he did a filling for me was a shock. It was the first time I'd had a dentist give me a pain free shot. He is extremely thorough and does not try to pressure you into work you don't need done. He has provided advice regarding my children's need for wisdom teeth extraction for free. When another orthodontist recommended braces for my son we had Dr. Taylor look at him. He told us if it were his son he wouldn't do the braces. We trust him as our family dentist and enjoy him as a friend." -Larry Brown
"I have been a patient of Dr. Taylor's for more than 5 years, as is my son and husband. We have always found Dr. Taylor's treatments to be painless, he is punctual and I have never dreaded any appointment I have had with him. His staff is friendly and efficient and do their jobs well. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Taylor (and have). He's a good man!" -Margaret H.
"I have seen Dr. Taylor since he bought the business from my previous dentist. It has been approximately 15 years. Dr. Taylor has performed routine cleaning, cavity repair, root canals, crown replacement and other services which I wouldn't even know how to describe. I do know that he has saved me from having to go to some specialists due to his broad range of specialty skills. I have always been treated with courtesy and kindness by him and his staff. Dr. Taylor is on time much more than the rest of the medical profession. Dr. Taylor does listen when you talk and answers your questions until you are satisfied. Dr. Taylor presents the facts of a particular procedure, including the pros and cons of having the service performed sooner or later. The decision is left up to you. Dr. Taylor provides any level of anesthesia you may need to experience a pain free visit. I don't like seeing a dentist any time, but I don't dread a visit to Dr. Taylor." -Mark
"My husband and I, along with our two, now grown children, have been seeing Dr. Taylor for over 10 years. We all think he is great and would highly recommend his services! Dr. Taylor does excellent work and we have never had any problems. He and his staff are very caring and always make sure you are comfortable and not in any pain. I personally have had the most work done over the years. I had many, may cavities growing up. The fillings from my childhood eventually cracked or were loose. Some of the teeth underneath were also cracked. I even lost a filling in high school. Not having any dental care, the tooth eventually abscessed and had to be pulled. I did not want to have that happen again. So, over the past few years, I have had the fillings replaced a few at a time as my budget allowed and am now done. No more worries!" -M. London
"I've been going to Dr. Taylor for many years. He's gentle with the needle! He is always staying on top of new technologies coming down the pike. Sometimes I don't even need Novocaine. He's even come to his office after hours in my emergencies." -Mick Greene
"I've been a patient of Dr. Taylor's ever since he began his practice years ago at the Northgate location. During that time, he has performed a variety of procedures on me, including normal twice a year cleaning and X-ray services, placing veneers on several of my front teeth, filling cavities, installing crowns and, most recently, preparing a nightguard insert to deal with my teeth grinding issue. During all those years and procedures, Dr. Taylor has exhibited a high degree of professional competence, along with a very caring attitude regarding my specific issues and concerns. He may periodically point out areas of potential concern, along with a suggested course of treatment, but will never apply any undue pressure to get me to go along if I'm reluctant to do so. Also, when doing any procedure that requires an initial pain killing process, he makes sure that is has completely taken effect before continuing.
"I can honestly say that I almost look forward to my periodic visits with Dr. Taylor, due in large part to the friendliness and courtesy of both him and his staff. He always take the time to inquire about what has been going on in my life, and his excellent conversational skills make for a much less stressful visit than would probably otherwise be the case." -R. Nystrom
"I have been a patient of Dr. Taylor for the past 13 years. Dr. Taylor is excellent at communicating to me what needs to be done to insure a healthy mouth and beauitful smile. He is always very gentle and kind and listens to any concerns I may have about my teeth as well as my overall health. His office staff is also very friendly and efficient and makes my visit even better. " -Sally Uno
"I have been a patient of Dr. Robert Taylor since he purchased his practice several years ago. Robert was just out of dental school, and he was the first medical/dental professional I'd had that was younger than myself! Early on, Dr. Taylor showed that he was a very serious, diligent practitioner of proper dental care.
"Over the years, I have watched Robert grow and mature to be not only a top-notch dentist, but also to practice a wide variety of dental surgeries and cosmetic enhancements. He is honest, trustworthy, and very careful. I've never had any pain issues wiht Dr. Taylor, and am never concerned or afraid to see him.
"I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Taylor to anyone." -Jim S.
