Dr. William A. Taylor, Jr.

My insurance told me Dr Williams was the closest dentist to me. I’m not picky about doctors, so I checked him out about a year ago without looking into any reviews. Getting an appointment was easy (I think I know why). When I got to the office, I was a little disappointed. The office was small and outdated. I had a unsettling feeling about the office, but I tried to tell myself that I was just letting the unflattering décor and disorganization unfairly prejudice me. Nonetheless, I couldn’t shake the feeling. Dr. Williams found cavities and told me to schedule a new appointment to have them filled, but one more look around the office convinced me that I didn’t want to have any type of operation done in there. I left and never came back.
While I was there, I will say that Dr. Williams, himself, cleaned my teeth, which is not very common with more busy dentists. And the office had fairly modern imaging equipment. But beyond that, I can’t remember anything appealing about my experience.

Avoid Dr Taylor at all costs.
His office is chaotic and often dirty. His receptionist/​business lady doesn’t like filling out insurance forms and does everything in her power to avoid doing them. She actually tried on multiple occasions to talk me into just paying for procedures all myself so she didn’t have to bother with the paperwork. The cost of procedures will be a mystery. She’ll tell you a price, then when you come back for the procedure the price is different and she accuses you of lying about what she said. She also keeps you waiting while she has long gossipy conversations.
Dr. Taylor will bill you (and your insurance company, if his person will fill out the form) for a cleaning and not really do it. He pokes around in your mouth for literally a minute or two and counts that as a cleaning.
Worst of all, he works to the level of «good enough» not to what’s right or best. He unfortunately put a crown on one of my molars. It didn’t feel right, pushed against the two teeth on either side, and food continually got caught in between. One of the adjacent teeth started hurting. I was told it was my imagination. I should have gone to a different dentist right then, but I didn’t because his office is convenient and he really did convince me that this was just my mouth adjusting to the crown. Well, a few months later, one of the adjacent teeth CRACKS OFF. I had to get a root canal and crown on what had been a perfectly healthy tooth. I just found out that the molar on the other side of his original crown is now damaged. I’m getting that molar root canalled and crowned and the original bad crown replaced. Because of Dr. Taylor’s shoddy work, I’ve had to have two root canals and two crowns on the adjacent teeth. That’s unexcusable.
One of my office mates, however, had a worse experience with Dr. Taylor. While doing a simple filling, Dr. Taylor injected some pain killer (novocaine, I think) in the wrong spot and my colleague ended up in the emergency room.
Honestly, DO NOT GO TO DR. TAYLOR.

Dr. Taylor isn’t very good. He misses obvious issues with your teeth. My coworker went there complaining of tooth pain and Dr. Taylor said he couldn’t find a problem. Colleague went to a different dentist who immediately noticed that his tooth was cracked in half down the middle. This didn’t show up on side view xrays that Dr. Taylor did, but was obvious by visually looking in his mouth. I personally went to him for a cleaning and checkup and he rushes you through because he doesn’t have a hygienist. My teeth didn’t even feel cleaned after so I had my dental student roommate take a look and she said that it was poorly done. Find a better dentist elsewhere.

One on one with the actual dentist… I don’t think that I’ve ever not had a hygienist before. This is a small office, and you’re treated like family. Dr. Taylor is funny and warm, and your appointment starts on time. He answers all of your questions, addresses concerns, and still manages to clean your teeth in 15 minutes flat. I have no complaints!
