Simon is one of the smartest and most committed doctors I have ever encountered. His diagnostic skills are in my view exceptional but most importantly it is obvious that he cares very deeply about his patients. An excellent manner, a very good listener and extremely reassuring. Based on my own experience and those of others who have consulted him on my recommendation, I would unhesitatingly recommend him.

Dr Simon Taggart is an excellent lung specialist. He is highly respected by all his colleagues. He is also a very thorough doctor who gets to the bottom of complex problems. He has a holistic approach which many specialists lack. He looks at patients thoroughly, not just at the lungs and so he is able to help people with complex and difficult problems including chronic cough and chronic fatigue. He often receives referrals from his colleagues for second opinions because of his knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend Dr Taggart to patients with lung or breathing problems and in patients where other specialists have not managed to get to the route cause of complex health issues.

Simon is a kind, caring consultant who looks after your whole wellbeing. Simon is very trustworthy and listens to you. I have seen him privately. If he thinks you need to be referred on to somebody else, he will do that.
