UofU Patient February 27, 2014
this was a follow up visit so it was short and simple
UofU Patient February 24, 2014he was great.
UofU Patient February 22, 2014Both Ben and Dr. Taylor were excellent!
UofU Patient February 15, 2014inspired confidence in his ability
UofU Patient February 06, 2014The Physician's assistant (Spanish speaking) has excellent bedside manners and was very personable.
UofU Patient February 04, 2014The PA that worked with me literally felt like she knew what she wanted to give me and whatever I said din't matter. She automatically assumed that I was cool with whatever tests she was going to do, didn't really explain what she was doing other than "it's the health of your eyes, that's what important." I get that you're a hospital and you think that, I just want to see well.
UofU Patient January 30, 2014good experience
UofU Patient January 20, 2014No problems
UofU Patient January 14, 2014Visits to this clinic are always encouraging.
UofU Patient December 31, 2013I wasn't sure I could describe accurately the problem I was experiencing. But Dr. Taylor knew exactly what i was talking about. It was such a relief!! I immediately had a fix to an issue I had been struggling with for over a year.
UofU Patient December 21, 2013Dr Crandall was wonderful
UofU Patient December 16, 2013Dr. Taylor is excellent and is a great provider to work with.
UofU Patient December 03, 2013Dr. Taylor is great - personable and professional. Gave me great advice along with including me in decision making.
UofU Patient December 02, 2013Dr. Taylor and his staff are very thorough.
UofU Patient November 18, 2013I've seen Dr. Taylor for probably 30 or more years and have been very satisfied.
UofU Patient November 12, 2013I thought the doctor was fine but the tech who did the tests was awful and needs to take a course in ethics and how to treat people as people and not an object to be examined.
UofU Patient October 17, 2013again, Ms Franks and Dr Taylor are very good at what they do
UofU Patient October 14, 2013I don't know him well enough to make a strong recommendation. This was my first visit.
UofU Patient October 10, 2013Would have liked a little more explanation of the pros and cons of laser vs cryogneic treatment. I am glad the Dr brought in a second doctor to render his opinion of the treatment.
UofU Patient October 02, 2013Dr. Taylor was very professional and gave me a thorough exam. This was the first time I had met with Dr. Taylor and was very pleased.
UofU Patient September 30, 2013Dr. Taylor has an excellent manner. He is thorough in the examination and listens carefully to questions and concerns. I was a little worried about the condition of my eyes when I came in for the examination. His thoroughness and expertise reassured me.
UofU Patient September 04, 2013Excellent care by the PA, nurse, and doctor (Dr. Taylor). All my questions were answered thoroughly.
UofU Patient August 30, 2013Not enough time was spent with me and the visit felt like it was rushed through
UofU Patient August 30, 2013I spent less than 10 minutes with Dr. Taylor. The technician was wonderful and did all the work.
UofU Patient August 29, 2013Very attentive and spent the time needed for explanations/
UofU Patient August 22, 2013Dr. Taylor did not really address my concerns. He looked at my eyes and said they were fine but gave me no suggestions or recommendations to address the issues I brought forth.
UofU Patient August 14, 2013Have already recommended him.
UofU Patient August 13, 2013GREAT!
UofU Patient August 12, 2013I was only seen by a tech who re-examined my glasses prescription from March.
UofU Patient August 12, 2013They've always treated me very well at the clinic. Dr. Taylor is a gem!
UofU Patient August 08, 2013I have had several past issues with my eyes, and Dr. Taylor did not ask me about my history at all, even though the tech had made notes. I feel like he was only interested in writing my contact prescription and getting me out the door, and like he was not interested in actually caring for me and my eyes.
UofU Patient August 05, 2013I was not pleased with my visit with Dr. Taylor and did to feel confident that he was the best provider to fit my contact lenses. He did not seem to know about the multifocal contact lenses that I was wearing, and suggested that I wear readers over my contacts to do computer work and read charts. I am a physician as well! I have had to make another appt.,
UofU Patient August 05, 2013The Doctor appeared to be somewhat rushed and uninterested in my condition.
UofU Patient July 22, 2013I was there for a basic eye exam and check up. It was easy and straightforward, no complications. The appropriate level of care was shown but not much was required. Easy visit, no major changes, no major questions to be addressed.
UofU Patient July 16, 2013Contacts were removed in order to dilate my eyes before the provider came in so I could not see the provider's face during my visit. Provider rushed through my exam due to being so far behind.
UofU Patient July 15, 2013Because of new computerized records, the doctor did spend more time than usual looking at the file rather than talking to me.
UofU Patient July 08, 2013I felt my visit to Dr. Taylor was the kind of experience that all patients should have because he was very friendly, clear, and helpful. He took the time to walk me to the next room he wanted me to go to. I was very pleased with that courtesy. He smiled and talked with a kind voice.
UofU Patient June 26, 2013Dr Taylor is Excelent is excellent and his assistant Jill is just GREAT! :)
UofU Patient June 12, 2013Dr. Taylor was very thorough in looking into my eyes and addressing my concerns. His staff was prompt and thorough and it was a short wait once I was in the exam room. I blanked out during the appointment and forgot to ask a question I had been concerned about pertaining to my eyes so I stopped back by later in the morning, and Dr. Taylor immediately came out and answered it, which I greatly appreciated. He went over and above what many doctors would do. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an eye care provider.
UofU Patient June 06, 2013I didn't spend much time with the doctor.
UofU Patient June 03, 2013Again, I feel that less time should be spent with the screener, and more time with the doctor.
UofU Patient May 29, 2013I felt that doctor did not want to spend too much time to make my kid feel at ease.
UofU Patient May 23, 2013Both the PA and the doctor listened to my questions and answered them.
UofU Patient May 18, 2013Not 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.
UofU Patient April 09, 2013I have no complaints whatsoever. "very good" in all areas.
UofU Patient April 03, 2013Dr. Taylor was attentive to my concerns and the care he provided met my expectations.
UofU Patient March 25, 2013great
UofU Patient March 21, 2013Dr. Taylor was both friendly and thorough. He answered all of my questions.
UofU Patient March 14, 2013Dr. 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.
UofU Patient March 11, 2013I 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.
UofU Patient March 05, 2013The wait time was excessive, particularly for a relatively early morning visit
UofU Patient March 05, 2013Have recommended facility and doctors to others several times.
UofU Patient February 26, 2013Very helpful, understanding, and informative staff and professionals.
UofU Patient February 05, 2013I was impressed, and very happy, with my doctor.
UofU Patient January 22, 2013I 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.
UofU Patient January 14, 2013Everthing good
UofU Patient December 31, 2012I like the care I received.
UofU Patient December 13, 2012good
UofU Patient December 10, 2012Dr Taylor was excellent and knows his stuff. We were in and out in record time.
UofU Patient December 07, 2012I 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.
UofU Patient December 06, 2012No problems at all.
UofU Patient December 04, 2012Dr. Kim was friendly, and had a good demeanor.
UofU Patient December 04, 2012The 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.
UofU Patient November 29, 2012Dr. Taylor has been my ophthalmologist for more than 30 years, and I trust him and his staff implicitly.
UofU Patient November 22, 2012Again 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.
UofU Patient November 21, 2012The 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.
UofU Patient October 29, 2012I always see Dr. Taylor.
UofU Patient October 04, 2012I've been seeing Dr. Taylor for decades and have always had complete trust in him. He's great.
UofU Patient October 01, 2012Dr. 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.
UofU Patient October 01, 2012I love Dr. Kim Taylor. He is an excellent physician!
UofU Patient September 27, 2012All 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.
UofU Patient September 03, 2012Very 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
UofU Patient August 28, 2012I always have gotten very good care at Moran Eye Center
UofU Patient August 23, 2012He was fantastic. He was efficient and I felt comfortable with him providing care for me.
UofU Patient August 13, 2012I would not go anywhere else for eye care.
UofU Patient August 13, 2012The Dr. just didn't talk much about what he was doing but I have confidence in his expertise and decisions.
UofU Patient July 30, 2012Always a very pleasant appointment with Kim Taylor
UofU Patient July 30, 2012Not too concerned with how much my left eye had changed, and I think the power in the trial contact may be too strong
UofU Patient July 17, 2012I just got my vision checked, I have no problems, so I can't answer the above
UofU Patient July 09, 2012Wanderful
UofU Patient July 08, 2012I was disappointed with my interactions with Dr. Taylor
UofU Patient July 03, 2012Dr. Taylor is the BEST!!!!
UofU Patient July 03, 2012Good
UofU Patient July 02, 2012Dr. 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
UofU Patient June 27, 2012Wait time past my scheduled appointment was a little long, but overall I enjoyed my experience at the Moran Eye Center!
UofU Patient June 21, 2012My 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.
UofU Patient June 18, 2012I 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.
UofU Patient June 11, 2012Extremly good service
UofU Patient May 21, 2012Doctor was brief and did not explain as well
UofU Patient May 14, 2012Everyone was well qualified and professional.
UofU Patient May 14, 2012Dr. Taylor was very professional and thorough.
UofU Patient May 03, 2012It was good.
UofU Patient April 30, 2012The 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.
UofU Patient April 23, 2012Dr 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.
UofU Patient April 23, 2012Dr. 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.
UofU Patient April 06, 2012The 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
UofU Patient April 05, 2012I do not recommend providers
UofU Patient March 19, 2012As I stated before, I felt shunted off to this care provider instead of one of the other specialists that I'd seen before.
UofU Patient March 19, 2012The doctor got my name wrong on my prescription. Other than that, I'm very pleased.
UofU Patient March 16, 2012In the case of this visit, it wasn't the "doctor" who was the problem. It was the delay in being seen on time.
UofU Patient March 12, 2012Excellent
UofU Patient March 05, 2012Waited only about 10 minutes for the physician, after the first consultation
UofU Patient March 05, 2012Great doctor. Spent alot of time with me. My eyes are difficult and he never expressed frustration.
UofU Patient March 05, 2012However, wait time should be shortened.
UofU Patient February 13, 2012I am glad Dr. Taylor is back.
UofU Patient February 09, 2012I 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.
UofU Patient February 06, 2012Because 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.
UofU Patient February 06, 2012High confidence and felt I received adequate time with the physician.
UofU Patient January 30, 2012Dr Taylor has been our doctor for years and we love returning to him each year for our regular check-ups.
UofU Patient January 27, 2012Again, I was very impressed and happy about this visit.
UofU Patient January 23, 2012He 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.
UofU Patient January 23, 2012I was totally satisfied.
UofU Patient January 20, 2012The 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.
UofU Patient January 09, 2012I 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.
UofU Patient January 09, 2012I'm very happy to have Dr. Taylor back at the clinic after his leave.
UofU Patient January 05, 2012Dr. Taylor is wonderful and I'm so glad I can say he is my doctor.
