Taylor B. Cates, MD

Dr Cates cares about his patients you can just feel it when he walks in the room. He's professional, thoughtful and explains in detail what's going to happen before and after surgery. I would highly recommend Dr Cates to ANYONE. He IS the BEST around!

Dr. Cates is not only a skilled professional but also compassionate. He takes the time to explain details, listens attentively, and answers all questions in a manner to ensure you have an understand of all issues and procedures. Truly a wonderful doctor and human being. Highly recommended!!!

Best doctor in town. Nurses and staff are all incredible. Knee surgery went extremely well. Dr Cates continues to be nothing shy of AMAZING!!!

I love Dr Cates . He has the best bedside manner and always listens. Dr Cates has repaired my shoulder to 100% and saved my toe from being amputated. I can’t recommend him enough.

Dr. Cates came highly recommended and did not disappoint. He was excellent in explaining everything concerning the knee surgery and what to expect afterwards. The surgery was performed with great results and I had very little to no pain afterwards. I join many others in highly recommending Dr. Cates services along with his great support staff.

I actually met with Dr. Cates PA, Drew Gamel. He exceeded my hopes. He exuded knowledge, caring and kindness. As a first time patient to Ortho West I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
From walking into the office until leaving I felt like I was getting quality care.

Very knowledgeable and took time with me. Made me feel very comfortable in a doctor's office which is difficult for anyone to do. Was a pleasure to meet MD Cates and will use again. Cool guy!
Thank you!

I just love going to see him!! Very nice personality and gets to the root of your pain, and tries everything before surgery is recommended.

I saw Dr. Cates PA Drew. He took the time to listen to my concerns and examined my knee. He answered my questions & did an excellent job explaining my progress at 3 month post-op from total knee replacement.

Dr. Cates is so awesome. He cares about all your needs. He dose everything he can to help you. He is a great surgeon and person.

Seen by PA. He was the assistant in my shoulder surgery. He explained things well and gave me opportunity to answer questions. Very helpful and thorough.

Dr. Cates is a wonderful. He listens and takes care of any concerns you may have.

Dr. Cates is one of the most caring doctors I've ever encountered. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Cates is a great guy. No one loves going to the Dr but if you have to go, he’s the one you won’t mind visiting!

Always the best care! I’m six months from my knee replacement surgery and yes, it’s worth it! I can now do many things that were so painful prior to surgery. Be patient with yourself and do the work. Dr Cates and his team will get you thru! Great people!!

Everything was great!! Drew was very kind, caring and gave me a lot of encouragement.
