DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST!\r
My wife went in as a new patient and was treated horribly by Dr. Taylor. Before she was even seen, she asked if she could pay the $15 co-payment, then be billed for the remaining amount. The receptionist went to Dr. Taylor to discuss, following which Dr. Taylor came out to her, appearing red-faced and angry, and said ""we don't do payment arrangements for bills in such a small amount as yours will be"". My wife then asked how much is it going to be? He then began calculating, and told her it would be something like $65. She had just run out of checks, and we dont use credit cards, so my wife pulled her debit card out (the only form of payment she had, dropped it on the counter, and said ""try this"". Dr. Taylor quickly picked her card up, handed it back angrily, and said ""no thanks""...""if you don't think you can pay $65 dollars for our services then you don't need to be here in the first place."" \r

Mind you...this is taking into consideration that our insurance was already going to pay 80% of the bill, and she was going to make the $15 co-payment! \r

Granted$65 is not a lot of money, but in Seattle, with the cost of living what it is, for a family of 6, EVERYTHING has to be budgeted out! We had budgeted the $15 co-payment, but not an additional $65. Is this so hard to understand?\r

My wife, a mother of four children, one being a 5 month old infant, does not deserve to be treated like this by ANYONE...especially a professional service provider. She had even arranged for a babysitter to keep our 4 children during the time she was at the dentist (I was at work). We have never encountered such blatant, audacious, RUDE behavior by any professional in our 13 years of marriage.
Cons: DR. Taylor is RUDE and should NOT 't be in the people business.
