Dr Andrew Taylor

My personal experience with Dr Andrew Taylor was both a positive and informative one. I found Dr Taylor to be amicable. He listened to me, asked appropriate questions regarding my medical history. At no point did he rush the appointment, nor did he dismiss anything I spoke about. I felt comfortable discussing my issues with him and left feeling more positive about my health in regards to Rheumatism.

I was told after using methotrexate for many years to stop and visit the doctor soon as possible I did that visited and the doctor I was suppose to see was not there.nAndrew Taylor was told me keep using the tablets it was a junior doctor that was called me and was panicking for nothing as my blood reading had been spiking for year nevernAnd my liver is a bit angry (had a scan it's still ok) asked how do you feel even I was in a lot of pain.nNow since I stopped the RA has accelerated terrible pain can hardly walk hands are so bad can't hold on to anything.nWent down on to the ground walking to the shop as my car broke down some stranger got me back home.nSo what do I do now .nI say about Andrew Taylor non committal has not got any compassion and should teach his junior Doctors to liaison before they contact the patient to stop medication.nNot taking away the lovely care of the junior Doctor she cared enough at least to worry.nPoint is The RA IS SO BADnNOW I CAN BARELY WALKn((( Is that the way my life will be Mr Taylor remember I said I don't want to live until 92 with all that I have you made me feel I should be grateful)))nJohanna Oppelaar

I am so thrilled to finally have a name, and treatment, for my painful condition. After almost a year of being in constant pain, unable to get out of bed by myself, or dress myself, or do my hair, taking my blood results , I made an appointment with Dr. Andrew Taylor. Afternlistening to my symptoms, and seeing my limited movements, he told me I have Polymyalgia, an auto immune disease. After only 4 days of treatment , I felt so much better. After 10 days, I was pain free, and could move my body freely, with no pain. To have a name for my pain, was a relief, but to be pain free was like a miracle. 7 weeks later, I've almost forgotten how desperate I was feeling at that time. I can't thank Dr. Andrew enough. I highly recommend him.nRosemary Sherriffs

I have been seeing Dr Taylor for over 10 years, and he is excellent. I have RA and have had one hip replacement, and may need another. He is always spot on with medication. I wasn't able to walk 10 years ago, and he got the medication right so i could continue to become a mum. I am still seeing Dr Taylor and also work in aged care, and would highly recommend his services.
