Bio
Dr. Walton Taylor is a general surgeon specializing in the care of patients with breast cancer and melanoma. He also performs general surgeries, including robotic and laparoscopic procedures.
Dr. Taylor grew up in Dallas, Texas. He received his undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University and attended medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. After completing medical school, he returned to Dallas to complete his residency at UT Southwestern.
Dr. Taylor is a former President of the American Society of Breast Surgeons. During his term as president, he oversaw the development of national guidelines for genetic testing and mammography. He continues to speak nationally on breast cancer, genetics, melanoma, and genomic testing.
An active educator for fellow health care professionals, Dr. Taylor serves on Continuing Medical Education committees for the Texas Medical Association, the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education, and is a member of Texas Health Physician Group’s Board of Trustees and Credentialing Committee. He also aids in developing educational tools for surgeons.
Dr. Taylor describes his patient-centered approach to practice with clarity and conviction. “Our practice philosophy is to put patients first. We work to give next-day results to patients and provide easy access to our providers and medical staff. I give my personal cell phone number to every patient so they can contact me directly with any urgent needs or questions. We do not see patients as their medical condition, but rather we see them as people with their own unique circumstances. We are here to treat the whole person and not just focus on the medical problem. Our goal is to treat the condition and make the process as smooth as possible."

Very personable & professional [...]Dec 2024Initial visits can always be a bit difficult to rate, given both patient and Dr don't know what to expect, and neither can assure the other of 100% responses. But Dr Taylor was great, and throughout my melanoma diagnosis and treatment, which is mostly over-I got a better sense he genuinely cares about my lingering issues and will do his best to find solutions. Most Drs I've seen thus far have pretty much shrugged their shoulders and attributed my resultant pains and concerns simply as inexplicable vague "side effects". Maybe. He assured me we would figure out how to resolve them.Nov 2024Awesome experienceNov 2024Very Professional and courteousNov 2024Great experienceNov 2024The entire team was wonderfulNov 2024Dr Taylor and his staff are his staff treated me respectfully while giving me appropriate medical attention. I have confidence in their medical care.Nov 2024The staff is responsive and kind.Nov 2024Dr. Taylor was very thorough and caring. He's ALWAYS nice!Nov 2024They work together like a well-oiled machine!Nov 2024Always a positive experience!Nov 2024They answered questions about procedures that I was unclear on when needing to go to the hospital. No problems scheduling so a great experience for me.Nov 2024I would recommend Dr. Taylor and his staff to anyone who needs it. My husband was also impressed with his caring. Many doctors are smart but may not empathize with their patients but he does. That carries over to his staff as well.
