Dr. Taavon is patient, respectful and knowledgeable. I was referred to Dr. Taavon back in 2000 due to high risk pregnancy. I had a successful delivery but moved to Charlotte 2 years later. I drive back to Greensboro every year for annual exams with Dr. Taavon. He is the best!

5 Stars – The Best Doctor I’ve Had in 28 Years! Dr. Taavon has been, without a doubt, the best doctor I’ve seen in my entire adult life. Over the past 28 years, I’ve never had a physician who listens so attentively, cares so deeply, and takes the time to truly understand his patients the way he does. His compassion, professionalism, and dedication to quality care are unmatched. I always left his office feeling heard, informed, and genuinely cared for. Dr. Taavon set a standard that will be incredibly hard to match. I’m truly heartbroken to hear about his retirement — it’s such a loss for all of us who were lucky enough to be under his care. Wishing him all the best in this next chapter, but he will be deeply missed. Thank you, Dr. Taavon, for everything.

On Time, Friendly staff, Treated as a person. Not a number on the chart, that had to get in and get out. Every patient needs the assurance of being cared about and feel secure in a time to discuss any health issues with the doctor.
