Dr. Brandon Taylor was born in New England, but his family relocated to the Florida panhandle near the end of his childhood. He later attended the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama, after being awarded a highly competitive scholarship granting early acceptance into medical school. He graduated cum laude and stayed at the University of South Alabama to complete his residency in orthopedic surgery. In furthering his education, he completed a one-year residency in complex foot and ankle surgery at the Campbell Clinic in Memphis, Tennessee. Dr. Taylor learned new techniques and also shared his training with others by giving lectures and writing research papers, book chapters, and medical articles focusing on lower extremity care and treatment. During residency, he studied general orthopedics focusing on general trauma including fractures of the hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, and wrists. He also studied arthroscopic surgery, sports medicine, and how to care for common orthopedic problems in the spine, pelvis, and upper and lower extremities. While at Campbell Clinic, Dr. Taylor honed his skills further in sports medicine, joint replacement, deformity correction, and ligament reconstruction for lower extremities. He also trained in arthroscopic surgery, cartilage regenerative procedures, minimally invasive surgery, and fracture care. With his knowledge in both surgical and nonsurgical treatments, Dr. Taylor provides patients with many alternatives to returning to their normal lives. Dr. Taylor joined Orthopedic Specialists in Palm Harbor in 2017 to continue delivering outstanding orthopedic care to all patients. He enjoys spending time with his family, playing the guitar, and outdoor water sports and recreation.
