About Your Doctor
Deborah Ann Taylor, MD, FACOG

A different outlook on medicine
“I was married and divorced at a young age and went through both my undergraduate and medical degrees as a single mother. Raising a child on my own while pursuing my own education made me very aware of the issues that women face in the work place. When I got to medical school, I was very passionate about women’s issues and felt that Obstetrics & Gynecology was the perfect match for me. Where else would I be so fortunate as to spend my days working with women as they navigate their healthcare and busy lives?”

Putting her patients at ease
“I believe that healthcare is a partnership between you and your doctor. Visiting the gynecologist is often something women dread and I do everything I can to make your experience as pleasant as possible. And the truth is, I enjoy getting to explain the changes your body goes through during pregnancy or how your body works through a menstrual cycle.”
