"Doctor was super nice"
"Dr taubman was a great provider knows a lot about my type of case.sent me to right places to get stuff done would respond back to me as soon as he got labs back I thank him for the care he gave me!"
"I am heartbroken that Dr Taubman is retiring but he definitely deserves this and I hope he enjoys his retirement to the fullest he is the best GI doctor ever . I would like to thank him for the wonderful care that he has given me all of these years . Dr Taubman is a wonderful kind and respectful doctor who has been treating me for 25 plus years he's been nothing but wonderful I would recommend him to anyone."
"Most of my family goes to Dr. Taubmann. We all think he is the best. He's one of the nices, caring, considerate Dr's. I've ever been to."
"Having met Dr. Taubman for the first time in November 2023, I found him to be very kind and compassionate and asked very pertinent questions. As he is retiring in early 2024, I question why he would even agree to meet me if he was just going to refer me to another doctor. More importantly, the WA Gastro website still lists him as accepting new patients. This needs to be addressed so no more wasted time occurs between him and prospective patients."

"My recent experience has redefined my apprehension of having a colonoscopy. Dr. Taubman & all of his staff were simply amazing. The prep package was equipped with everything necessary to have a successful colonoscopy. The hints for drinking the liquid were perfect & I was able to easily drink it (not at all like my first experience 13 years ago with another doctor/ facility). I was extremely happy with how each & every staff member was professional yet friendly."
"Going through a colonoscopy procedure is not the most enjoyable thing in life for most folks. However, Dr. Taubman and his friendly staff made sure that I understood fully what would take place before, after, and during the procedure. And, a couple of times, notices were sent to my home with the pre-procedure instructions as a reminder of the upcoming appointment. My wife and I were pleased with the way we were treated during the visit. Highly recommend Dr. Taubman and his staff. Roy M."

"Everyone was great there at the Federal Way offices. It wasn't like I volunteered myself for my procedure ....so like anyone else would be I was a little nervous. When I get nervous I joke around alot and well lets just say some people dont take that very well. But they did and they probably didn't even know how it actually was letting me get more comfortable before the main event. Thank you all from the beginning of my first appointment, to prep, to billing, durning procedures and after care. You are amazing. And thank you again Dr. Taubman. This may have been my first rodeo doing this but not my first rodeo dealing with medical procedures for myself , family and let alone working in the medical field . Highly recommend this team."
"At today's visit (my first), Dr Taubman was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Very pleased with my experience at his office."
