Dr. Jonathan Taylor, Zachary, LA

is anyone familiar with this dr? i just found him on uhc choice plus...he is the closest surgeon to my area but i was hoping for some feedback...thanks.

I did see him although I did not use him for surgery.  I used Dr Bellanger and recommend him highly.  What a great man he is -  from the beginning to the end.

thanks for the feedback...unfortunately dr bellanger is not in my plan...was there a reason you chose not to use dr. taylor?

Personally I just did not feel comfortable with him.  I didn't want to use the hospital that he was affiliated with.  I just did not get the warm fuzzy feeling after visiting him on 3 ocassions. 

I was a self pay after fighting with my insurance for 2 years.  I do not regret it at all.  What I use to pay for medications is now paying my surgery note for 24 months.  Overall I am saving lots of money.  I don't eat out and I don't have to buy medications.  Its a win win situation!

Lots of luck to you!

thanks again...i appreciate the input. :)

Hello Sherry,

I used a surgeon in Baton Rouge and I'm vey active in local andstate support groups. I attended a meeting with Dr. Taylor's group because I wanted to be able to make references to anyone who might be helped by him.

I'm very fond of several surgeons, but more moved by the fact several people are falling through the cracks and suffering (and dying) because they are not aware or close to bariatric surgeons.

I live within walking distance of his hospital here in Zachary and both he and his hospital are well-credentialed. He is a gifted surgeon with a caring and complete approach to his patients. Don't let the small town fool ya, Zachary is an excellent, growing community with a strong professional base.

Let me know if you plan to do an informational seminar with Dr. Taylor. I've gone once before and would be glad to show up again and lend support to this excellent program.

Onward to wellness,
Frances

Thanks Frances...I will be sure to do that!  I didn't know they offered seminars at this facility...I will have to find out when they are scheduled.  Thanks again!

Hi Sherry!  We're neighbors.  I have a Denham address but my kids go to Walker schools. 

I used Dr. Hausmann.  I don't know anything about Dr Taylor.  I went with Dr. H because he was the one who did my gallbladder surgery a couple of years ago. 

Hello!

I have one kid left in school at Walker...my two older children are in college now, but my son is a sophomore at Walker High.

Unfortunately, Dr. Hausmann is not "in-network" for this procedure with UHC...but i am still fighting to get someone in BR.

It's been frustrating but it will be worth it if i can ever get it done...

I used Dr. Borland in New Iberia.  I'm a born and raised Walker gal.  For the price, I didn't mind traveling the distance for him.  He is an excellent Dr.  In fact, he will be doing surgery on my son on April 14th.
