Dr. Taylor is proud to be a specialist member of the American Association of Endodontists. He was also selected to Washingtonian Magazine's List of Top Dentists consistently for several years.

Committed to giving back to the communities RCT service, Dr. Taylor founded the Trident Save-a-Smile Foundation.

A native of the Bronx, New York with Caribbean heritage, Dr. Taylor decided to call Maryland home after dental school. Since he was a young boy, he wanted to become a dentist, but it took dental school for him to realize that endodontics is where he wanted to devote his time and talents.

When he isn’t saving patients from pain -- Dr. Taylor enjoys sporting events, traveling, listening to soca music or deep sea fishing. Dr. Taylor is married to his lovely wife, Chalissa, and is the proud father of two beautiful children, Kayla and Evan.

Fun fact about Dr. Taylor: he used to be a drummer and still considers drumming his first true love. Lucky for RCT Endodontics, he pursued another passion instead. We are grateful for the time, talent, leadership, and care he devotes to our patients and team.

Reviews from Dr. Taylor’s Patients

"I had a root canal done with Dr. Taylor. He was very calm, professional and informative. He did the procedure with ease and the experience was literally pain-free. The team listened to my concerns and they assured me that I would be ok, even though it was a difficult procedure. Highly recommend!"

The experience was painless and efficient. It took about an hour to complete. Although i was extremely nervous, Dr. Taylor and his staff kept me very comfortable during the procedure. Thanks!

I'd been putting off endodontic treatment for years. It was a scary procedure and I was terrified to go in! The staff at RCT went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. They were compassionate and understanding, which helped me to relax. Dr. Taylor is the best dentist I've ever been to and I'm so glad he's my endodontist.

Thank you Dr. R Taylor and his team for calming my fears about root canal. My experience was great even though I had a little pain. He was very patient and showed great care in making sure he took care of my issue. He is very gentle, comforting and give a detailed explanation of the procedure. I will recommend him for your endodontic treatment 100%.
