I had my quarterly follow up with Dr. Taylor today. It went off without a hitch. The front office…read morestaff was extremely friendly and efficient. They got my new insurance information verified quickly and without any hassles. When it came time to see Dr. Taylor she was prompt and well prepared having familiarized herself with my chart prior to coming in to the exam room. She was very engaging and thorough. We went down a list of items that were pertinent to my medical diagnoses and discussed strategies for obtaining our joint goals. At all times I felt listened to, valued, and respected. She is a North County treasure!

I followed Dr. Taylor from her prior office and am so disappointed with the new location. I waited…read more3 months to get in to see her and when I did it was at the end of the day and she was 45 minutes behind; so when I was finally seen it felt very rushed as it was after 5:30. I then called the office recently; had to speak to an answering service and was treated with such disrespect. I requested a nurse to call me and was told it would be up to 48 hours to get a call... luckily she did call that day and when I tried to talk some about the answering service experience she didn't care and couldn't answer my questions about medication and was told to call the pharmacy.... back to looking for a new doctor:(

There is never a long wait in the waiting room and checking in and out is simple. She has a conservative approach to medicine, and does not over-prescribe medicines, like some doctors do.

They are so thorough (you even have a nurse talk with you before you see the doctor to go over everything) and so so nice. The people at the front desk are great and Dr. LaCasto made me feel so comfortable. They also offer massage. In fact, my friend got a massage from them last week and said they really helped him with his pain and tightness. I plan on using them for all of my massage/chiro needs here in SLO! I was nervous about finding a chiropractor here, because due to my hypermobility, it is really scary to go to someone who will be potentially "pop happy". Dr. LaCasto could not have been more different from my concerns. He was very gentle and I never felt like I was being jerked or manipulated in a harsh way. Highly recommend!

I had to go to Urgent Care today about an unrelated issue. I told the Medical assistant about this. I told her about the dark nail polish, she almost laughted and said there are other ways. She turned the instrument so that it measured from the side of my finger. She said if that didn't work she would put it on my toe. The medical assistant should be fired for her lack of knowledge and for frightening me. I have told this story to many and they can't believe she is working in a doctor's office.

Up until last year, I was a patient of Dr. Stephen Sigmund for 15 years. His manner has always…read morebeen too brusque for my liking, especially in recent years. One problem that I have with his approach is that he tends to treat "by formula" instead of treating me as an individual. An example: on getting up out of a chair after a dental procedure, I felt dizzy--it was not a syncope; I did not pass out. The dentist sent me to Sigmund who put me in intensive care overnight. His excuse was that my heartbeat was below some magic limit. The fact is that I have been a runner all my life, and my HB is regularly below 50 in the morning. Sigmund had records of my low HB, but I feel that he didn't take it into account. The bottom line--an expensive hospital stay for what I think was a momentary vertigo. On the positive side, he picked up my prostate cancer from a PSA test, and it was successfully treated. The reason that I stuck with him so long is that he is very intelligent, which I value in a doctor. The reason that I quit was that he didn't always use that intelligence, and became more and more brusque and less communicative in later years.
