Though many patients in Houston know Dr. Thomas V. Taylor as a qualified Bariatric and General Surgeon in Texas, he is also an author, inventor, musician, and locomotive hobbyist. Moreover, he spends time following many professional and amateur sports, walking to stay physically fit, and sailing.

Throughout his distinguished career, Dr. Taylor has contributed to numerous publications, authored more than two hundred unique medical papers, and written eight books. His greatest literary success was the 2007 book titled “Overcoming Obesity” which was published by Vantage Press and is still for sale through the Internet.

In addition to his many written achievements, he is also credited with obtaining several United States Patents related to his surgical field and teaching hundreds of surgical residents in Texas. In 2009, his academic accomplishments were recognized when he received the Outstanding Faculty Teaching Award, given by the Department of Surgery at the University of Texas Medical Branch.

Music is a big part of Dr Thomas V Taylor life, both listening and performing. He plays the guitar and has sung in a number of choirs and choral ensembles over the years. The Houston Symphony Choral Section, the Altrincham Choral Society, and the choir at Houston's St. Michael’s Church are only a few of those he has contributed to in the last forty years.

When he is not helping patients to lose weight and stay healthy or singing, he can be found at home working on his model railway system. Collecting and replicating miniature locomotives is one of his many passions. He finds the act of building his own railway both interesting and challenging.

Dr. Taylor is a long-time sports fan who follows the exploits of many teams. He enjoys watching Major League Baseball (MLB), many teams from the National Football League (NFL), competitors from the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), and the sport of cricket.

Though he does not play any of those sports himself these days, he does find other ways to stay in shape when not in the operating room. Dr. Thomas V. Taylor enjoys walking for exercise and leisure as well as sailing.
