I have late stage disseminated Central nervous system Lyme disease, untreated so long, I now have MS... & TWO BRAIN ANEURYSMS. all of these, undiagnosed by Dr Taylor. I was his patient for nearly 15 years. I am lucky I am still alive. I always left feeling belittled & insulted. Constantly told by him that "it's all in your head" so I would see a psychiatrist (he told me it was mandatory for chronic pain patients) who would just write for more pills. I was seriously over medicated & never really heard.
This mans ego is out of control. He would go on about rebound HA & actually told me "you need to relax, find someone to give you a backrub three times a day"! Unbelievable... The fact that my nervous system is damaged & constantly telling my muscles to constrict, it was literally impossible to relax. I had headache pain EVERY SINGLE DAY!
The pain finally drove me out of work & I found good doctors who saved my life. I only stayed with him because he lied in the beginning & told me the only way to continue with the physical therapist (the ONLY relief I had) was through his & only his referral, " it is a closed practice". The day she retired, I found out that was untrue. Also, he is considered the "best HA specialist" in Pk Nicollet's system (because of all his articles being published, which he was always glad to point out) no other neurologist in the system would step on his toes &/or discount his previous conclusions... I felt trapped & did not know how to advocate for myself.
I am now glad he so rudely told me to just relax as my occipital cramping had me in tears & I couldn't see out of my right eye... Had he not been so dismissive & arrogant, I would not have been so devastated as to peruse respectable doctors with compassion & knowledge to actually help, not just write papers.
Had he not said that to me when I was vulnerable & devastated, had I stayed under his "care", I would surely be dead from my largest, now coiled aneurysm....

This man is dangerous. Do NOT visit him. He has one solution for headachers, a sometimes effective medication called DHE. Dr. Taylor uses massive doses of this medication, which has serious, life-threatening consequences. Since he practices in Minnesota, he cannot be sued because "malice" cannot be proved.

His bedside manner starts comfortably and then becomes entirely imperious when he is asked questions. He quotes medical statistics and does not respond to personal or emotional questions. He is a poor listener, a renegade practitioner and should not be seen. Avoid this physician no matter how bad your headaches are.
