Dr. Taylor is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, loving and always truly hears, not just listen, to what I share with her. I feel like we make decisions about my care together. She's open to learning about anything new I being to the table and is she's not heard about it, or needs more information, she'll research it right then and there so you're never left hanging for a week or more. She is careful about choosing her words carefully, which I'm sure she doesn't even have to think about anymore. Take for instance there amount of medication I take....I cannot tell you how often a nurse or doctor says, "Wow you're on sooooo many meds", which I hear often. I know that, and I don't need someone to point that out. Which patient worth lupus isn't in a lot of medication??? Most importantly, I always feel heard and tested with genuine kindness and empathy/sympathy, and not judged.
