Dr mactaggart was very professional and helped my father trigger finger immediately. He didn’t know there was an option to fix it. So for anyone helping care for their elders, Make sure you’re listening to their pains and help them act on it.

Dr. MacTaggart is a wonderful physician. Very knowledgeable about her profession. I'm lucky to have found her to treat my carpal tunnel syndrome. I strongly recommend her as a hand specialist.

I like Lauren's approach to patient and treatment strategy. I didn't like waiting nearly 45 minutes after being let into the exam room before seeing Lauren.

I had a very good experience with Dr. MacTaggart. I saw her as a new patient and I definitely am so glad that I chose her! I had a trigger finger and knew that I needed surgery. When I went in she did not hesitate to offer that option. The surgery went wonderful and my hand is healing very well.
