Upon graduation from the training program in 1982, he joined the faculty in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the School of Dentistry of the University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston. In 1993, having achieved the academic rank of Academic Professor and having served as the Director of Residency Training for five years, he left the University of Texas to enter private practice, while maintaining the rank of Clinical Professor to continue involvement in resident education.

He has been a member of the Active Staff at Houston Methodist Hospital since 1982.

While the scope of his clinical practice involves virtually all areas of the specialty, the primary focus of his career has been to provide quality care in orthognathic surgery.

Dr. Terry D. Taylor is board certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He served as a member of the Advisory Committee for the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for 6 years.

He maintains the rank of Clinical Professor in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Texas, Health Science Center, Houston. He is also a consultant at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Department of Head and Neck Surgery in the Division of Surgery and Anesthesiology.

While attending New York University College of Dentistry, Justin was elected as student council president and served on many associations or committees. After completing education at NYUCD, he matched with the University of Texas Houston for his oral surgery and medical school training. During that six-year residency, many opportunities were afforded to work with world-class physicians and surgeons, true giants in their own specialties.

After graduation, he went on to become board certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Since graduation, Justin has worked in several different offices, including ClearChoice, which afforded him a special subset of skills adapted to handle complex oral reconstruction with dental implants. He also served as a part-time assistant professor at Memorial Hermann TMC, which is consistently ranked as one of the busiest trauma centers in the US. 

His belief system is very simple yet all-encompassing: treat each patient as if they are your own family member. This has truly allowed him to create lasting connections with his patients, who are like extended family.

Outside the office, Justin loves to volunteer his time at a local faith-based clinic treating the underserved population in Houston. When he is not busy with oral surgery, he loves to spend time with family and friends and take part in outdoor activities like paddle boarding and fishing. Justin, Angela, and Vincente are dog lovers and have three dogs at home that hold the titles of CEOs of Happiness.
