She came well prepared and asked questions and listed carefully to what I said. Ordered X-rays and took time to explain them to me. This was an excellent appointment.

This was my first visit with Dr. Taylor Cheripko, PAC. It was very easy to talk with her, it was as if I had been her patient for years. I was immediately at ease. She listened and made good suggestions. What a wonderful practice!

My experience was a blessed one. I feel well cared for and happy to be able to come share my progress with my doctors (Taylor and Katherine). There is a sense of provision and my needs are met. I also like connecting with Frankie and all the cheerful supporters in your group. Blood work is done with precision. Now trying to decipher the results, we can do in the portal when necessary.
Thanks so much.

Dr. Ziglar has been wonderful to work with for more than five years. I trust that when I see her she will have reviewed my case including any new tests, she will listen to me and my concerns very closely, and she will talk with me, as an equal, to come up with the best treatment plan. She is a consummate practitioner.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Dr. Ziglar as she is not typically in the Frederick office on Mondays. She quickly assessed my situation and ordered x-rays to be taken. She shared the results on the screen with me, ordered an MRI and another consult. She was very empathetic with my pain and agreed with the medications my PCP had prescribed.
