“"Dr. Taylor always treats me like he really cares about hoe I am doing. I had a total knee replacement. He did a great job on the surgery and you can barley see the scar. I had some problems with the muscle afterwards and Dr Taylor got the best treatment for my problem. I have known Dr. Taylor for about 25 years and he seems like family to my family and me. Thank You."”

“"Everything is fine and the surgery went well. When I went in for the surgery everybody was very respectful, the doctor was very professional, as well as the doctors who gave my family updates on how it was going."”

“"In February Dr. Taylor repaired my knee. His staff has always been wonderful. I have never had to wait for my appointments. Dr. Jerry Smith also saw me. He and his staff have also been wonderful. I will recommend Dr. Taylor, Dr. Smith, and Sierra Pacific Orthopedics to anyone who will listen. They are the best. I live two hours away; it has been well worth the trips given the care I received. I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Taylor, his staff, and Sierra Pacific Orthopedics. Thank you!"”

“"My visits at Sierra Pacific Orthopedics were very pleasant. All the employees, from the receptionist to the MA, were very friendly and that put me at ease. With all my concerns being addressed and my doctor being very pleasant and patient and taking the time to answer all my questions, my surgery experience was very pleasant. Thank you to all the staff."”

“"I have had a left knee replacement in 2011, left shoulder surgery in October 2012 and now right shoulder surgery in January 2013. I am looking forward to right knee replacement very soon. I have had multiple injuries for a long time, and was looking for the BEST doctor in Fresno to help me. I was directed to Sierra Pacific Orthopedics and to Dr. David Taylor. I found Dr. Taylor to extremely understand to the pain I was in and how we, yes him and I, could follow a path to remedy that pain and fix the damaged areas mentioned above."”

“"Todd Braner, P.A., is my treating provider. I received a spiral fracture of my left tibia and fibula on New Year's Eve 2012 and underwent surgery in Hanford on January 1, 2013. Nine months later, the fracture was determined to be a delayed-to-non-union fracture, and I opted to seek a second opinion. Todd was recommended highly and I went to see him for my second opinion. Within a month of seeing him, my distal screw was removed to facilitate healing of the fractures (last Wednesday 9/4). Todd has always made me feel as though I was his priority. I think he has gone above and beyond what he had to do in order to make sure I received the care I needed to end this long journey to recovery. He did have to be the "bad guy" and tell me I couldn't do Cross fit for 3-6 months, but I'm trying to adjust to this news and will do what it takes to recover fully. I'm grateful for Todd and his staff for the care they continue to provide me!"”

“"I am currently being seen by Todd Braner who serves as the Nurse Practitioner in Dr. Taylor’s office. I have not met Dr. Taylor at this point however I find his staff to be helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. I have reviewed the patient comments regarding Dr. Taylor and I am sure I will be pleased with his treatment of my injury. I sustained the injury to my knee on July 6, 2013 and my attending physician attempted to refer me to a local physician to treat my injury. I was concerned that I could not be seen until the second week in August. I contacted Sierra Pacific Orthopedics and was given an appointment right away. I have always been very pleased with the care I received at Sierra Pacific Orthopedics. I have had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Tanner several times and I highly respect and admire him. I have also been treated by his associate, Dr. Johnson and was very pleased with his care. On other occasions I was seen by Dr. Glaser and Dr. Weins and found both of them and their staff to be knowledgeable and helpful. I do not think you can find a better facility. My husband and I both utilize Sierra Pacific Orthopedics when the need arises. I am very thankful that we have this facility and its physicians to rely on."”

“"I came to see Dr. Taylor after experiencing an injury while training to run a half marathon. After I described my symptoms to him, he suspected a torn labrum (hip) and ordered an MRI. That diagnosis was confirmed and I have been referred to Dr. Thaxter for treatment. I am scheduled to see him next month (January) and am hopeful that whatever treatment we decide on, I will be back to running as soon as possible. I appreciate the quick diagnosis and efforts toward treatment because I have read that many people have suffered the same condition for some time without the source of the injury being recognized."”
– Kathleen M.
“"Ever since I was treated by Dr. Taylor in the late 1990's, I have been seeing him ever since for my orthopedic needs. I fractured my right shoulder badly and there was a gap in the bones that would not heal. He suggested an innovative, non-surgical treatment that finally did heal the non-union of bones. Since that time, he has treated me for other joint pains and I have never known any other physician who was able to "hit the mark" as well as he does with cortisone injections. I have had relief for years from a single injection and my husband has had the same experience with Dr. Taylor. He is conservative and will not perform surgery unless absolutely the best possible treatment for a patient. My husband and I hope he never retires."”

“"Dr. Taylor and Todd are amazing. Not only are they great surgeons but also caring people. They really care about their patients. George, the assistant, is also very kind. Dr. Taylor and Todd also did a hip replacement on my dad. I tell everyone what a great job they did. Thanks for all your help."”

“"My knee problems began 10 years ago when I fell on raised sidewalk while walking in Hilo, Hawaii. I had severe lacerations on both knees but didn't realize the damage done to my joints until months later. When my right knee became unbearably painful, I tried all of the usual treatments prior to having major surgery. But eventually, I had to have a full knee replacement, which was done by Dr. Taylor in May 2010. I was literally stunned with the amount of pain I experienced following surgery, but within 9 to 12 months, I felt ready to travel again and grateful to Dr. Taylor and his staff for making it possible. When my left knee was injured, while I was in New York in May 2012, I told Dr. Taylor, "I'll do anything to avoid knee replacement!" So, I did everything else, until I found myself staying at home more and more, becoming virtually an invalid. I finally gave up and was scheduled for surgery September 24, 2013. The morning of surgery, I told Dr. Taylor "I need to get this over with so I can go to Viet Nam and Cambodia." His response was neutral, at best. :) This time, I gave it my best effort and recovery proceeded faster than I believed possible. In short, I returned from my 17-day trip to those countries March 15, 2014 and I cannot adequately express my gratitude to George Gomez, Todd Braner, and Dr. David Taylor for giving me back my life. They are definitely like family to me."”

“"I knew when I was injured that only one facility within driving distance had the doctor I needed for my knee. I knew it had to be Sierra Pacific Orthopedics because I had already been to Dr. Glaser for my ankle a few years earlier and recovered completely. Dr. Taylor was the doctor I requested my primary care physician refer me to. A coworker had been to Dr. Taylor and she thought he was fantastic. But it's not just the doctor. It’s his assistant and the entire staff that went out of their way to make my experience easier. Anything I needed was taken care of for work, be it documents or forms completed, it was done quickly. I worked for an orthopedic years ago and I never thought I could find a doctor like him until I came across Dr. Taylor at Sierra Pacific Orthopedics. I would recommend this facility to anyone."”

“Dr. Taylor performed a shoulder surgery on me in April 2014. The results have been fantastic. My pain has been relieved and I have full movement of my shoulder. Todd, George and the staff in both the front office and X-ray department always make it a good experience to visit SPOC.”

“I feel my experience and the care I received was great by not only Dr. Taylor but also by Todd Braner. I was well informed of the procedure and what to expect before and after surgery and during recovery. Both made me feel that I was important and that they really cared about my concerns. What I really liked about Dr. Taylor, is that he gave me the opportunity to discuss with my family the procedure and to take time to think about it before I decided to go forward with the full hip replacement. I couldn't be happier!”

“Dr. Taylor was thrust on me by insurance while dealing with a work comp injury. I'd been told I'd have to "live with it". I couldn't be fixed. Dr. T did an MRI, immediately found my problem, did surgery & I'm "fixed"! I'm forever grateful. Since then Dr. T has done 3 knee surgeries & a shoulder surgery for me. Each was a success. I'm grateful my comp insurance sent me to him!”
