June 06, 2013

I didn't spend much time with the doctor.

June 03, 2013

Again, I feel that less time should be spent with the screener, and more time with the doctor.

May 29, 2013

I felt that doctor did not want to spend too much time to make my kid feel at ease.

May 23, 2013

Both the PA and the doctor listened to my questions and answered them.

May 18, 2013

Not a very well organized facility or staff. Facility is beautiful and well maintained and up to date. But staff don't communicate well, very little time is spent with MD compared to time spent with aid/tech. Poor at returning calls about medical questions, and timeliness of returning calls is very poor too.

April 09, 2013

I have no complaints whatsoever. "very good" in all areas.

April 03, 2013

Dr. Taylor was attentive to my concerns and the care he provided met my expectations.

March 25, 2013

great

March 21, 2013

Dr. Taylor was both friendly and thorough. He answered all of my questions.

March 14, 2013

Dr. Taylor was nice, but very succinct. I spent way more time with the Op. Assistant. I'm sure that Dr. Taylor is a very qualified doctor, but next time I will schedule with a doctor who makes me feel more comfortable.

March 11, 2013

I recommend your office to all I know!!!!! I will never go back to the other eye surgeon that I have had for the past 25 years.

March 05, 2013

Have recommended facility and doctors to others several times.

March 05, 2013

The wait time was excessive, particularly for a relatively early morning visit

February 26, 2013

Very helpful, understanding, and informative staff and professionals.

February 05, 2013

I was impressed, and very happy, with my doctor.

January 22, 2013

I had a really nice experience with the clinic, in general. But the doctor was rude and rushed. After my appt he barely guided me in the direction of the room to put my contacts back in. Just really, really rude.

January 14, 2013

Everthing good

December 31, 2012

I like the care I received.

December 13, 2012

good

December 10, 2012

Dr Taylor was excellent and knows his stuff. We were in and out in record time.

December 07, 2012

I have been having trouble seeing with my currant contacts since my visit last year, although he was very good at explaining to me what was going on with my left eye and why it was causing me vision problems. I was not given a new prescription, but was referred to a retina specialist. I guess I will have to wait and see what happens.

December 06, 2012

No problems at all.

December 04, 2012

The Dr. said he would try fitting my contacts one more time. I hope e didn't really mean that. I that I expect him to do it as many times as needs be til he gets it right or refer me to someone who can.

December 04, 2012

Dr. Kim was friendly, and had a good demeanor.

November 29, 2012

Dr. Taylor has been my ophthalmologist for more than 30 years, and I trust him and his staff implicitly.

November 22, 2012

Again I felt everything was rushed I was expecting more from the Moran Eye Center. My concerns were about Macular and the dr. said "I didn't have it see you in a year" Everyone in my mothers side of the family have it all aunts and uncle. It is now down into my generation and 7 of my cousins have it. I asked him about eye vitamins (Which everyone I know takes them in my family) and other things and he just said he didn't believe in them and see you next year. To me there wasn't really any concern.

November 21, 2012

The doctor didn't really seem to listen to my concerns & basically told me that the pain in my eye was probably just muscle strain & use a warm cloth when needed. Pain obviously was more than just an annoyance to me. Then my prescription was incorrect. When I got my contacts I couldn't see out of them. Then I just asked for the old prescription? What a waste of time.

October 29, 2012

I always see Dr. Taylor.

October 04, 2012

I've been seeing Dr. Taylor for decades and have always had complete trust in him. He's great.

October 01, 2012

I love Dr. Kim Taylor. He is an excellent physician!

October 01, 2012

Dr. Taylor was running late and I was an "easy" patient as I just needed an updated contact lens prescription. I was surprised that he was particularly curt and didn't bother to ask any question of a personal nature other than "how are you." As a patient of 10 years, I would expect just a bit more. I like his no-nonsense approach, though, and appreciate that he accomplishes the exam efficiently.

September 27, 2012

All I needed was a contact Rx so he just came in and shined a light in my eye checking for something and then gave me the Rx, because the PA had already checked my vision. Pretty simple.

September 03, 2012

Very matter of fact, but friendly and with good bedside manner about bad news. Really gave me the feeling that he knew what he was doing

August 28, 2012

I always have gotten very good care at Moran Eye Center

August 23, 2012

He was fantastic. He was efficient and I felt comfortable with him providing care for me.

August 13, 2012

I would not go anywhere else for eye care.

August 13, 2012

The Dr. just didn't talk much about what he was doing but I have confidence in his expertise and decisions.

July 30, 2012

Always a very pleasant appointment with Kim Taylor

July 30, 2012

Not too concerned with how much my left eye had changed, and I think the power in the trial contact may be too strong

July 17, 2012

I just got my vision checked, I have no problems, so I can't answer the above

July 09, 2012

Wanderful

July 08, 2012

I was disappointed with my interactions with Dr. Taylor

July 03, 2012

Dr. Taylor is the BEST!!!!

July 03, 2012

Good

July 02, 2012

Dr. Kim Taylor was my eye doctor. I have been going to him for many years and am very pleased with his work and his friendliness. He is very efficient and caring and I would (and have) recommended him to other people

June 27, 2012

Wait time past my scheduled appointment was a little long, but overall I enjoyed my experience at the Moran Eye Center!

June 21, 2012

My visit with the Dr. Taylor was extremely brief. I know he has a lot of patients and I was in for a standard eye check, but no one told me I had astigmatism in my right eye until I showed the optician my prescription to get new glasses. I know astigmatism, especially mild, is not a big deal, but it is something I would have liked to hear from Dr. Taylor or the tech. I just didn't like the surprise of finding out in the optical shop and I have no idea if I need to watch for any signs that it is getting worse. Other than that, my visit was great and very speedy, staff were friendly and courteous and they guys in the Optical shop were fantastic.

June 18, 2012

I have had many medical visits in the past year for varoius reasons. My experience at the Moran Center was very impressive and all staff I dealt with were professional and very friendly.

June 11, 2012

Extremly good service

May 21, 2012

Doctor was brief and did not explain as well

May 14, 2012

Everyone was well qualified and professional.

May 14, 2012

Dr. Taylor was very professional and thorough.

May 03, 2012

It was good.

April 30, 2012

The doctor was nice, but didn't spend much time. I would also reccommend he introduce himself to patients before they are dilated, I had no idea what he looks like. Didn't explain much to me about my glasses prescription and i have never worn glasses before, so that would have been nice.

April 23, 2012

Dr. Taylor came in, sat down with his back to me, talked to me with his back to me, gave me about 3 minutes of evaluation and then turned his back to me again and then left. It could have been a bad day for him but he didn't make it a good day for me.

April 23, 2012

Dr was easy to communicate with, reassured me that the hemorrhages were surface and I didn't need to work and to go on a usual . .. appreciated.

April 06, 2012

The reason for the visit was to correct a prescription for glasses from a prior visit a month ago at the Uof U Moran Eye Center

April 05, 2012

I do not recommend providers

March 19, 2012

The doctor got my name wrong on my prescription. Other than that, I'm very pleased.

March 19, 2012

As I stated before, I felt shunted off to this care provider instead of one of the other specialists that I'd seen before.

March 16, 2012

In the case of this visit, it wasn't the "doctor" who was the problem. It was the delay in being seen on time.

March 12, 2012

Excellent

March 05, 2012

However, wait time should be shortened.

March 05, 2012

Great doctor. Spent alot of time with me. My eyes are difficult and he never expressed frustration.

March 05, 2012

Waited only about 10 minutes for the physician, after the first consultation

February 13, 2012

I am glad Dr. Taylor is back.

February 09, 2012

I was very impressed by the service I was given during my visit, I feel like I was given great care and would not hesitate to recommend or attend this clinic again.

February 06, 2012

High confidence and felt I received adequate time with the physician.

February 06, 2012

Because I am a bleeder, stoppage of bleeding from having a chalazian lanced became a problem. The doctor and nurse stayed with me for nearly one hour and provided excellent care and assurance, until I was transferred to emergency where I also received great care and competent assistance with my condition. The nurse and doctor at the eye center did everything they could to insure my safety. They made good decisions concerning my care.

January 30, 2012

Dr Taylor has been our doctor for years and we love returning to him each year for our regular check-ups.

January 27, 2012

Again, I was very impressed and happy about this visit.

January 23, 2012

He barely talked to me at all. He didn't offer to give me a copy of my proscription. The only thing he told me about my problem was when I ask a direct guestion and then only short answers. I felt like he just wanted to get back to a card game.

January 23, 2012

I was totally satisfied.

January 20, 2012

The doctor did not check my contact lenses. They remained in my pocket. He said there were no problems diabetic wise and said there should no changes in the lens. Recommended reading glasses of +200 in order to read the music. Seemed to be in a hurry. The contact lens were prescribed by a doctor from another area four years ago. I'm wondering how he knew they were still ok.

January 09, 2012

I'm very happy to have Dr. Taylor back at the clinic after his leave.

January 09, 2012

I would have liked the dr to take a little more time explaining why we had a problem and show a little more concern. His availability is very poor and it's time I have to take to come back when mistakes are made.

January 05, 2012

Dr. Taylor is wonderful and I'm so glad I can say he is my doctor.
