With lifelong participation in sports and a childhood goal of becoming a physician, it’s no surprise Dr. Matthew Taylor chose a career in sports medicine. “It gives me the opportunity to be part of a team and be on the sidelines providing medical coverage.”
Dr. Taylor’s goal is to get people back to the activities they love without drastic intervention. “If we can make simple changes to training regimens, lifestyle, or foot wear, and patients feel better – that’s a win. I try to do as much as I can conservatively and then refer to our surgeons when needed.” He says he is very specific when explaining to patients about their issue. “It’s not surprising when they leave with artwork depicting what is torn or injured.”
Dr. Taylor likes to camp and hike with his wife and four young children.

Comments From Patients
You guys were great!
The provider was very nice and listened, he asked good questions. I appreciated his professional manner.
He took time and explained what he found and what the alternatives were to alleviate my pain and gave me the right to make my decisions. He explained what each decision could or could not do for me. Very satisfied with him.
Dr. Taylor’s office is taking good care of me and my acute injury.
Liked Dr. Taylor a lot. Knee shots didn’t hurt.
