Dr Taggart is a genius he gets it in the first 10 minutes and after that it’s a weekly chat with a friend :) I had been a whole year with a treatment resistant infection seen 3 doctors and 2 specialists and was in a desperate state when I saw Dr Taggart... he had it under control in literally 10 minutes he knew exactly the problem made a quick diagnosis and my infection was clear in just over a week :) it was the best £250 I ever spent :)

Dr Taggart is a fantastic doctor; after meeting him I felt reassured and felt that progress had been made with respect to further treatment. I particularly liked that he was happy to take the time to explain things very clearly, for example why he was asking certain questions, how medication worked and the 'biology' behind lung problems as this made it much easier to understand what was happening.

I had my first consultation with Dr Taggart and found him to be so thorough and understanding taking great care to addressing my reasons for the consultation. I felt Confident and reassured about his treatment plan which means a lot to me after spending so long getting no answers for my symptoms. I feel i may be getting somewhere now thanks to Mr Taggart
Many thanks

Dr Taggart is one of the few doctors I have seen that has made me feel that my health matters. I went to him after being in hospital and being given the fright of our life with very little advice on what to expect going forward. We was told we would have an urgent referral and 6 weeks later had not heard anything and we then made the decisions to go private.
Dr Taggart was welcoming and assured both my self and my husband that he would be able to help me and get me some answers, following this he rang the very next day after checking my scans and notes from my stay and advised me that there is a way forward. I then seen him again a few days later and can up with a plan for me, he even drew me a diagram to help explain what he had seen. No other doctor has gone to this extreme to help.
Both my self and my husband now feel at ease and would/have recommend Dr Taggart to our friends and family.

Dr Simon Taggart is a kind, wonderful, caring consultant who takes the time to get to know you. Simon treats your whole wellbeing and listens to you. Simon looks after patients who have complex medical conditions. He doesn't rush his consultation with you especially your first appointment with Simon. I highly recommend Simon to other patients. I have seen Simon at The Alexandra Hospital, Cheadle and Spire Manchester Hospital, Didsbury.
