I believe that Taylor dentistry is the best dentist office you will find anywhere. From the beautiful office to the the very kind and professional staff you will feel like you are in an awesome place. I have told several friends about Taylor dentistry and they have thanked me for telling them about Taylor dentistry. I feel very blessed to have Dr. Cathy Taylor as my dentist.
T. W. (Verified Patient)
Great staff!! Dr. Taylor has a beautiful spirit and she cares truly cares about your dental health. Kat is the best hygienest. I always feel like my teeth/gums aren’t just clean but in the best condition possible.
C. P. (Verified Patient)
It has been 7 years since I walked into Taylor Dentistry nervous and scared only to meet Dr. Taylor. She is the most gentle, soft-spoken, goal-oriented, yet highly skilled dentist I’ve met in my lifetime. Cara, my hygienist, is an incredible professional, she loves to teach, and clearly loved her profession. I always leave her chair laughing with no biofilm or spicules!! LOL From those first visits where I had a significant dental phobia to now where I really enjoy my dental visits is quite a turnaround! Thank you Taylor Dentistry!

J. D. (Verified Patient)
April 30, 2025 I don’t think there is a better dentistry office in Alachua County than Taylor Dentistry. Everyone there is a class act. When people ask for a dentist recommendation I don’t hesitate with my answer. Yesterday I got a thumbs up review from Cara, my regular hygienist. Looks like that regular use of the Water Flosser is paying dividends. Looking forward to my next visit!
C. H. (Verified Patient)
