    Excruciating pain to open fist or make a fist. Got appt with Dr. Shah in Palmdale. He determined it was the tendon and injected it relieving pain and giving me the ability to make a fist or straighten my fingers!!

    Dr. Taylor is a good doctor. He was semi professional, and provided solid treatment for my work-related lower back and bilateral knee injuries. He performed several injections (cortisone/hyaluronic acid and PRP) and ordered the necessary imaging.
    Overall, Dr. Taylor is a solid orthopedic physician who gave me good care. However, if you’re in the workers’ comp realm and need strong, detailed documentation, you may need to be extra watchful in this aspect. It was also surprisingly hard to get clear information about my injuries — it sometimes felt like it was some kind of big secret.
    I would still recommend him for general orthopedic care.

    I love the doctors and staff at VOI! They have taken care of my family for over 20 years. Performed hip replacements, shoulder surgeries,etc. Wouldn't go anywhere else for our ortho needs!
