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.
The secretary or front desk assistant was dismissive and did not want to help. After stating she would see if he would take anymore visits she continued to be rude. Lied to me twice saying the doctor was too busy and had no more room for additional patients. Stating he was leaving at 3:30 and was seeing his last visitor. Called my attorney to see what was an option and did they know worker’s compensation canceled my visit. Then the other (pregnant) staff member asked if I needed any help then called the manager who was also ... read more
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.
