Patient Reviews
May 10, 2023
After years of searching for corrective help in my home state, Dr. Taunton took a chance on me. He found not only was my knee replacement an issue, but my hips had been damaged due to years of walking poorly. I could hardly walk any more and was in constant pain. He replace both hips and my knee. I have my life back because of his dedicated work. I am forever grateful. This is a doctor you can trust.
