Philosophy of care

I take the time to listen to my patients in an effort to better understand their medical issues as I get to know them. This foundation allows for a longstanding partnership where I, along with my patients, work to maximize their health and well-being.

Dr. Taagen's practice includes all aspects of internal medicine including prevention, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic medical conditions, as well as sports medicine.

    Don't recommend because practice is full. Wouldn't even see my adult son. State of medical records violates my privacy. No confidence that United Healthcare and Optum will respect Hippa.
