Dr. Will Taylor is a world-renowned expert in homeopathic medicine. He continues to refine his practice of homeopathy and attributes influences of “old masters of the tradition, contemplation of success and failures in his own practice and a synthesis of contemporary teachers” to his evolving study. He has successfully treated a variety of conditions, from pediatric ear infections to autoimmune diseases to mental/emotional anguishes, using homeopathic remedies.
Dr. Taylor has presented at numerous conferences, including events sponsored by North American Society of Homeopaths (NASH), the Homeopathic Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania, the Ohio State Homeopathic Medical Society, as well as conferences in Germany and Bulgaria. He teaches the postgraduate program of the Czech Homeopathic Medical Society, and has published several articles in American Homeopath, Simillimum and the Czech journal Homeopathické Listy.
Dr. Taylor has found himself a leader in the field of homeopathy by way of a rather circuitous path. After graduating from Michigan State University with majors in biochemistry and psychology, he pursued graduate studies in marine biology at Stanford University and University of Maine. Following this experience, Dr. Taylor attended medical school at the University of Vermont College of Medicine from 1979-1983. He followed his medical education with a family practice residency at St. Mary’s Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
A painful case of shingles brought him to the care of a colleague who was studying homeopathy and the resulting miraculous cure inspired him to study homeopathy, initially for the care of his own family. Homeopathy gradually took over his professional practice, as his patients implored him “to treat me like you’d treat your family.”
While practicing homeopathy in Blue Hill, Maine, Dr. Taylor started a homeopathic Web site and online study group and began teaching for The School of Homeopathy in New York.
In January 2002, he closed his practice in Maine and moved to Portland, Oregon to chair the department of homeopathy at National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM). Dr. Taylor is a full-time faculty member at NCNM where he teaches courses in homeopathy and supervises students on clinical rotations. In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, backpacking, whitewater kayaking, playing the mandolin, and spending time with his family.
