For two decades Dr. Michael Taymor, a board-certified pediatrician and practitioner of integrative evidence-based medicine, has been dedicated to serving children and their families with accessible, compassionate, and comprehensive family-centered care.

Located in Palo Alto, California, Dr. Taymor provides a full scope of treatment, preventative care, advice, and support from the day a new baby is welcomed into the world to the time he or she reaches adulthood.
