Dr. Taliaferro is a very thorough and compassionate doctor. I saw him for a meniscus root tear. I initially saw a UNC ortho Dr. after an MRI, and was given an injection in my knee to help with pain. I wanted a 2nd opinion since I had injured my knee even more 9 days after the injection when trying to ride my bike, which the 1st Dr said I could do. I had a 2nd MRI scheduled after being seen in the Emerge Ortho Urgent Care, as a result of trying to ride my bike, and saw Dr. Taliaferro for follow up this week. He explained ever... read more
I just moved to Wilson &needed an orthopedic doctor. Dr. Taliaferro greeted me with a big , friendly smile. He is very knowledgeable, thorough and caring. He listened intently to every concern &explanation I had. I was never rushed. I think the care plan is excellent &I’m eager to go through it. Immediately he gave me a Cortisone shot which didn’t hurt&which has made me feel better than I had in months.
I am 62 years old and over the last 15 years, I have had multiple personal orthopedic situations as well as mom of four who all played sports so I have met and worked with a lot of doctors. He is one of the best doctors I have ever met from my first visit listening to the problem (which had been ignored, or improperly diagnosed for years), his empathy was outstanding, his personality and bedside manner uplifting, and more importantly, his diagnosis and immediate surgical repair has finally made my life so much better.

Dr. Taliaferro was thorough in explaining why knee replacement was a good option for me and what I could expect.
I really like Dr Taliaferro. He was very helpful. Understood my problem and offer excellent solution. Would recommend him to all my friends.
Very professional and knowledgeable about my condition and further treatment recommendations for me.
I saw Dr. Taliaferro for the first time. He was very thorough and explained my situation in a way that was easy to understand. I really liked that his first course of action was not to recommend surgery but to try things that are less invasive. I didn’t feel that he was rushing through my diagnosis or my visit. I was very pleased. He was very helpful.
While the surgery went well and lasted for quite a long time, the attempts to communicate with my wife was unacceptable. Despite going to the desk repeatedly to check on progress, she did not know I was out of surgery until 2 hours after completion. All the front desk would tell her is “he’s still in surgery.” Dr. stated that he left messages, but she received none. A little more effort to communicate, even if he actually had to take the time to go to the waiting room, would have been greatly appreciated!
Did not listen. Left me with a broken kneecap and torn patella tendon. Would not listen or want to try and work with me to understand what went wrong after he missed a fragment that was on the xray post op that would have saved me from over 2 years of issues that I have still having. I articulated things very well but he did not only ignore what I was telling him but did not give me the respect to document anything I was telling him to refer back to when we finally did find there was a problem.
