Dr Taggart listened and understood the medical history and difficulties I have had. He is a good communicator and gave solid sound advice which was reassuring.
He has written to me with his advice and unlike most consultants was prepared to use email, for me a preferable and efficient means of communication.
I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Dr Taggart has been extremely helpful and I’ve felt at ease speaking to him about my issue. He’s very thorough and takes time to explain everything really well. I’d highly recommended him.

Dr Taggart has seen me both privately and within the NHS system. I have found him to be professional and thorough in all he does. Dr Taggart also explains everything without feeling rushed and I would have no doubt whatsoever in recommending him to other patients.
