I was running late 30m pasted the grace period they have ... they were so kind to take me still. the compassion, thoughtfulness towards me, and how relaxing the nurse and doc. Was so nice and warm, I felt like I was being treated by family. Out of all the places I scouted, look up reviews, and called places for information. This places is the most understandable with no judgements place to be. I highly recommend u go here when in need.Thank you doc and nurses for your service and kindness.

The attention that was given to me was excellent. I went as a walk in paciente and got the same attention as if I had an appointment. Dr. Taylor made me feel safe, taken care of and cleared all my concerns.

Words cant describe how grateful and satisfied I am with the ENTIRE experience! From the check in with the receptionist, to the pre consultation with the nurses all the way towards the final consultation with Dr Taylor was spectacular! I was anxious and nervous prior to my arrival but all of that disappeared once i arrived at the office.The attentiveness, care and respect that was provided by the entire staff was beyond. I felt like they really cared for my specific needs and I was more than just another patient and for that I will be eternally grateful. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would.

I had a great experience in this office. My visit started off a bit bumpy due to some type of miscommunication but that happens. People and systems are fallible. Even with my heightened over reaction that was not professional, her staff remained calm and supportive. There was a male nurse who I must say was amazing, supportive, kind and made my experience that much better. The staff were able to work everything out and I would say my experience was smooth and flawless. Dr. Taylor was kind and informative.

Friendly staff and I felt very comfortable during all three appointments I made here. All the information I needed was explained to me in thorough detail and I was still in and out of the office in a short amount of time. I only got to visit with Dr. Taylor for one of my appointments but her and her staff are very professional and helpful. I live in Tucson but booked an appointment here as it was the only place with available appointments as soon as I needed. I would highly recommend to anyone in the area or even in Tucson, the drive was worth the relief I felt knowing I was being helped by staff that genuinely cares about their patients. Thank you for your time!

Through the entire process that I underwent with Desert Star Family Planning, I constantly felt cared for and safe. The staff was always very compassionate about making me feel most comfortable. Even at my worst, with excruciating pain and discomfort, the staff remained calm and talked me through it all. I would recommend this company to anyone as I’m sure they will also be satisfied with the care they receive.

Truly a wonderful first time experience. I was a bit nervous about seeing a new doctor, but Dr. Taylor was nothing short of wonderful, She was personable, and very easy to talk with. She explained the entire procedure she did for me step by step. She was very knowledgeable and explained all my options about various brands of contraceptives. The staff at the clinic had a great attitude and seem happy to be of service to me. I will definitely be returning for a follow up visit.

Desert Star Family Planning is a very good place to go for Womens Services. The staff is very polite and shows a great interest in their patients health, safety, and comfort. They provide information on a patients related issues and take the time to explain in detail, as well as provide information to other recommended businesses that would provide services that they do not. The pricing for treatment is not that expensive and they accept most insurance. I was very pleased with the fact that Dr. Taylor had such compassion and took an interest when explaining in detail of my options of treatment. She showed me the up most respect and made sure that I understood clearly what she was talking about, as well as took the time to print out detailed information to what I was experiencing. It really helped and I am very pleased with my services. I strongly recommend anyone to Desert Star Family Planning. The people there do not make you feel like a random statistic, but a person. I just wish that they covered all services when catering to Women.

I first heard about Desert Star Family Planning on a podcast, Babe Council. The episode was discussing WAP and gynecology. I liked what Dr.Taylor said on the episode, so I scheduled an appointment. This was the first time I had scene a doctor in YEARS. My session was professional and Dr.Taylor took the time to get learn my family medical history. Dr. Taylor answered all my questions and didn’t shame me for not seeing a doctor in years. Dr.Taylor has decades of experience and is very knowledgeable. I’m glad I went to Desert Star Family Planning

No wait time I was seen fast! Only thing the waiting room is small and nothing said is private in my opinion maybe a private messaging service for check in or bring patients back to speak of concerns or questions is a private setting during check in.

Very pleasant experience at this office with Dr. Taylor and her staff. While still remaining professional, the vibe in the office is very relaxed. As someone who feeds heavily off of energy and other people’s moods, this is a good place to be if you’re nervous about these types of appointments. Everyone felt happy, smiling (under their masks of course) and super respectful! Happy to have found Dr. Taylor!

I am very satisfied with my care. I had issues with offices in the past but at desert star they make you feel like a human. I walked in today filled with nerves and they literally sit you down and talk to you. They really do care about you and they remind you that you and your health matter.

I had an abortion here and it was a hack job. Not only was the bathroom where I was asked to put a pad on filthy, the machine used for aspiration was rusted. I was not fully sedated and thus felt and heard everything. I never healed properly, got an infection which caused PID and have had nothing but problems with menstruation since then and am possibly infertile. After reading the reviews I see im not the only one. Considering suing no place should operate this way providing back alley abortions in 2020. They should be shut down

Staff never responds, you will get told a manager will contact you and it will never come. Received several bills from them then when I called to ask what for, was told to not worry about it but then would receive MORE bills. Staff joked at my expense during inappropriate times and when visibly uncomfortable they would just ignore the situation. When I asked about getting a UTI test, was told that would be an extra 30 min by an associate and she would like to go home but she guesses it would be okay.Edit: Since Desert Star responded here’s what doesn’t make sense.1) I’ve been calling for months. Yes before Covid.2) I did leave a message on patient portal weeks ago.3) I called and asked for a manager several times. Like I said, I’d get hung up on and told a manager will call me.4) You’ve been billing me $1000 for months for an IUD I never received and I have used every form of contact possible. That is now your responsibility.

When I went the first time they were at an different location and I was satisfied with the services. This time the staff was alright. I asked to be sedated so I wouldn’t feel that much pain. I was in so much pain and I was letting the doctor know she didn’t do anything about it and keep on going. I’m still in pain and I just had this Procedure done on Thursday. This is not ok all they care about is the money

The women were all very kind and wonderful! The wait time was less than 5 minutes both times I went to the office. Also, you dont always need an appointment- sometimes they can get you in the same day. The office & rooms were very clean and inviting. I felt very comfortable talking with all of the staff members. They made me feel like I was with friends rather than staff members who only care about their paychecks. If I were not moving out of state, I would continue to get any and ALL services through Desert Star! Incredibly happy overall.

Review №44

I loved my first visit here, however, during my last visit I never got a chance to see my doctor due to her performing a procedure. I can have some understanding for that. What I cannot agree with is the doctor’s choice to perform an invasive procedure on a patient while other patients are in the office. No one showed concern about the things I was very obviously hearing. You could hear the yelling, screaming, and wailing from the lobby. I left the office crying and triggered by previous trauma.

I have been seeing Dr. Taylor since 2015. She is truly amazing. She genuinely cares about her patient’s health and it shows. I always look forward to seeing her. As far as front office staff If it wasn’t for Dr. Taylor I wouldn’t return. My last couple visits haven’t been that great dealing with other office staff. Working in the medical field I know how important it is to keep PHI confidential. Also a little bit of professionalism goes a long way.

Dr. Taylor and her staff are wonderful and kind. They listen and answer all questions asked. The only issue is the wait. Regardless of appointment time, I have had to wait a minimum of 30 minutes in the waiting room. That is the only reason I’m not giving 5 stars!

Review №48

Beware that they will lie to you and tell you that your insurance covers something, then wait until youre completely sedated & out of it to tell you that you have to pay full price which is actually illegal. So I will be getting my attorney in involved in this if they dont refund and fix the issue.

Review №54

My initial phone call was pleasant and engaging! I went to see Dr. Taylor for a wellness visit and I know that she was concerned from beginning to end. You rarely go to a doctors office and have a 20 minute conversation about your diet and health. Dr. Taylor immediately showed concern about my STI status. She emphasized that she wants to focus on my health holistically. During my exam she gave me the ultimate privacy and respect. I have had some negative experiences in the past, but I felt like Dr. Taylor cared about my health as a priority. If you are looking for a considerate doctor who cares about your health, call Dr. Taylor.

Review №56

I will admit I was not the easiest or most cooperative patient, yet Dr.Taylor and the staff were still nothing but kind, caring, comforting, and all around amazing.In short, I’m very glad I chose Desert Star and would highly recommend to any woman who needs any of their services to go to them as well.Not so short:All of my appointments I was seen on time, the only “wait” I had was when I showed up late and took my sweet time reading the fine print while doing paperwork- so that was my fault. I was seen about 2 minutes after I gave them the paperwork.I arrived early for my procedure and a staff member(I believe the office manager) asked if I had eaten breakfast(i was there at 9am for an un-sedated part and my sedation wasn’t until afternoon so I should have had breakfast) when I said no she insisted that to help avoid nausea i at least try to eat some crackers and drink a little sprite which made me feel less grumpy from being up so early and not eating.( I did still end up vomiting but at least I had something that made it more pleasant than dry heaving pure stomach acid) during this appointment, because due to lack of transportation between morning and afternoon, I had to wait there for my procedure in the afternoon and was in pain from the morning, they allowed me to stay in the waiting room during their lunch break (even though they lock the front) so I could try to rest- I was in a lot of pain so I don’t remember who, but even though it was their break, I was checked on at least 2 or 3 times, and was told to ask if I needed anything and offered a blanket- which shows they actually care and that it’s not JUST a source of income to them.Both the nurse and Dr. Taylor answered all of my somewhat repetitive questions the best they could- they were honest with their answers and didn’t sugarcoat ANYTHING which was greatly appreciated (I’d rather their answer that it’s different for everyone but at the very least won’t be comfortable than being lied to and told something won’t hurt at all)There were multiple points in my care here that a less caring, patient, and professional doctor would have either sent me off or given up since, as I said, I was a little difficult and not completely cooperative. If I had gone to another doctor, I probably would have ended up not completing care. But Dr. Taylor was stern and persistent with me(definitely not a bad thing, it came across to me as concern for my own health and safety) she was more than accommodating, and just generally fantastic.A huge whole hearted thank you to Dr.Taylor as well as every staff member involved in my care from start to finish.And my apologies for this being long winded.

I just want to start off by saying the staff was excellent and very friendly, I had to take my daughter here and drive up from Tucson... She says everyone treated her so nice, and made her feel as comfortable as they could, I am very grateful that the Dr came out and explained to me everything that was going on with my daughter while I waited nervously, it was very professional,also gave me some relief. Its hard enough on any women that has to make this type of decision, and I just want to thank them all. Would recommend their services to anyone.

I had such an amazing experience at Desert Star Family Planning and with Dr. Taylor. The service from the minute you approach the front desk to working with Dr. Taylor and everything in between is top notch.All staff are super welcoming and nice! And talk about fast service.I had a job interview and they were super quick with my consulting appointment to get me on my way (I was early to the interview AND got the job, yay!).I dont recall everyones names that worked with me but the person who took my blood pressure and asked me all the typical consult questions was super efficient and professional. The student who was working with them was awesome too! She gave me a great birth control reference website and said it might help me make a decision if I decide to switch to an IUD. Dr. Taylor was amazing too. Super friendly and very straight forward. Everyone was a joy to work with.Thank you all for providing such a safe space for this field.

I absolutely felt comfortable with this doctor and the nurse , they made sure to make me feel welcomed and they also calmed my nerves. It was my first time I brought my mom with me who had went through a process with a different place and she stated how much information they provided that the other place didnt . My mom felt relieved as well as I did the doctor made the procedure super comfortable and I cant even remember what happened during the procedure . I had my follow up and the doctor made sure she answered all of my questions. This place is wonderful the doctor is a sweetheart if you are nervous you wont be here they do there very best to make you feel comfortable and safe.

I had a procedure done at this office on 19th Avenue Missouri to stop there are very rude and inconsiderate to why you are there and its unclear whether the procedures they do are done with real Medical profession theres no privacy at this building and they poked me three times attempting to start an IV which was unsuccessful and gave me another Valium and I felt the entire procedure and then passed out now Im experiencing very alarming symptoms and the staff there today when I actually had somebody to drive me there literally hung up in my face and said they wouldnt have another appointment until next week now I have to go to the emergency room due to the procedure they conducted because there is definitely complications and Im Rh negative blood and I know that they did something wrong I dont think that the procedure was done 100% right as Im experiencing overwhelmingly alarming symptoms since the procedure and forced to go to the emergency room while we are in the middle of the covid-19 the staff hung up on me on the phone and will not answer the phone they said theyre closing but their answering machine says that theyre open until 3 p.m.

I dont think there is enough I can say about DSFP. They made my experience the most comfortable it could possibly be. Everyone I talked to was supportive, kind and genuinely seemed to care about my health. Dr. Taylor is so sweet and is always smiling. Even down to the nurses, especially the one that held my hand, the care I received was outstanding. Even if they didnt take my insurance, Id still continue to come here. Please, anyone who isnt sure about what can be such a dark time, I promise you will find a light in this place.

I came here today for an initial consultation & ultrasound and couldnt have asked for a better experience, despite the circumstances that brought me here. The office was clean and professional, and within minutes of filling out the new patient paperwork I was called back for my appointment -- no wait whatsoever. Dr. Taylor and her staff were very knowledgeable, courteous, and took the time to make me feel like they truly cared about my well-being and comfort. I know I am in good hands. Im even considering switching insurance providers to one thats contracted with this facility so that I can continue to see Dr. Taylor for routine well-woman care.

Review №74

My nexplanon device was inserted by a doctor that Dr. Taylor was training in November 2018 and inserted improperly causing me to get the implant removed years earlier than planned. When I returned for the removal I had to wait almost 1.5 hours to even get checked in because they couldn’t find my patient chart. Turns out the front desk staffer was leaning on it. Dr. Taylor and her nurse expressed no remorse nor acknowledgement of my statement that the only reason I was getting the implant removed was because it was inserted improperly. I decided to go on birth control pills following the nexplanon removal and Dr. Taylor’s staff stated they would send the pills to my pharmacy by the end of that day for a rapid start and that did not happen. When I called to check on my prescription the next day the receptionist couldn’t give me any information on when the prescription would be sent over to the pharmacy and why is wasn’t sent immediately as stated. I won’t be returning to this facility for care.

I went here after a horrible experience at family planning medical associates (waiting all day long).For my consultation they had me in and out within 1.5 hours, Dr. Taylor is very sweet and her staff were kind as well. She even went and scheduled me conveniently for the following day so we booked a room in the valley and stayed overnight. (we are from out of town and its a 2 hour drive for us.)The next day things got a little crazy on my side with my husband not answering his phone but they accommodated me and helped me through it all. My surgery only took about 2 hours total (vitals, medications, etc) and then I was done. Her medical assistants were so sweet and were very kind the entire time. I definitely recommend Dr. Taylor. They have a nice cozy waiting room, clean rooms, nice staff, short waiting times, and they always listen to good music lol :)Thank you again!

I was very discouraged to read the negative reviews about Desert Star when I first decided to come here. However, I could not disagree more with the people who wrote negative reviews.You ALWAYS have to wait at a doctors office - so for the people who gave negative reviews for this purpose, I wholeheartedly disagree. I have waited a few times but my care here has always been worth it.The workers here have always been professional, kind, caring and knowledgeable. I have always been respected and listened to here. You are not judged and most importantly you not only treated as a person - but as a woman. You are NOT a number or a statistic here.Dr. Taylor treats your total health. She is responsible and takes every precaution in regard to your health. She makes sure you understand everything that is happening during your appointments. She acts for your best interests and well being. She CARES about her patients, she cares about the quality of care she provides. She continues her own education. She makes sure to know what is most relevant and current in her field.Desert Star treats a womans total health. They treat you as a person, as a woman. They treat you with respect and caring. They make sure you have a total understanding of everything involving your care.

Dr. Taylor and her team run a wonderfully clean, quiet, professional, and personal practice at DSFP. Dr. Taylor answered all my questions with patience and kindness without assuming anything about my knowledge level, and her staff were all very good about making me feel comfortable.

I had a medical abortion. I went in for the ultrasound heavily bleeding and was told it was normal and the pregnancy had evacuated. I reached out 5 times concerned with the non stop bleeding over a period of 2 months and was told that if I didnt take birth control there was nothing they could do and to call if I was still bleeding in another month. 3 months later crippling pain golf ball sized blood clots. Soaking through overnight pads in a few minutes- blood continuously trickling out. At the ER, soaking through my clothes. Ultrasound confirms there is remaining vascular tissue from my pregnancy. Now, for weeks more of appointments and surgery.But this is Normal

Do not go here! This place should be shut down! The staff is rude and unprofessional, the doctor has no clue what she is doing! They keep your scans and don’t share the results with you! Still haven’t gotten them and it’s been over a month, and they just keep saying that they will call back and never do!

Ive been sitting in the wait room for 10 minutes waiting for a counselor and I already heard Lauretta your counter staff answer and call people with the rudest tone. Once she was off the phone she commented I dont understand why these people cant make up their mind after I heard her speaking to the patient about switching her surgical abortion into the pill. After that comment another nurse walked up and lauretta said I cant talk to these people anymore. Im also here to talk about my options. Im super uncomfortable 😣

The girls who answer the phones sound so rude and non-friendly. Makes me think if theyre like this over the phone they must be worst in person. Ill just find another place, I dont even know how this place was so recommended by my friend.

GREAT service, friendly and knowledgeable staff!!!! I am not a fan of doctors and medical practice (because I am always scared), but their staff was nothing but comforting and helpful during all of my visits.

Absolutely aweful! The secretarys are incompetent and useless. The robotic nurse never tended to the patients concerns or questions when waiting for the procedure. The patient was scheduled for a procedure and was never given any warning about how the procedure was going to be. Dr. Deshawn Taylor is a fraud and a phony and anyone that works under her authority is an absolute joke. All I can say is if you think clinics like these that are supposedly offering you a choice, absolutely do not care about their patients but care more about the check at the end of the procedure. DO NOT GO TO THIS CLINIC IF YOUR SEEKING SUPPORT BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE PLACE. IN THAT CASE GO THROUGH WITH THE PREGNANCY AND PUT THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION.
