History

Established in 1966.

Our story begins when Dr. Robert Taylor and his wife, Harriett, owned a hospital in Mojave, California where they both practiced general medicine. In the early 1950s, they sold the hospital and moved to Cleveland, Ohio where Dr. Taylor trained in radiology and radiation oncology. After moving to Las Vegas in the mid 1950s, Dr. Taylor advertised for an additional physician. Dr. Harris Knudson answered the ad and was hired in 1964. Dr. Knudson and Dr. James Lum, served together in the military. After Dr. Lum moved to Las Vegas, the 3 formed a professional corporation in Nevada on January 6, 1966 under the name Taylor, Knudson & Lum. They covered UMC hospital and 2 small outpatient facilities on Maryland Pkwy and Rancho Ln. In 1969 Dr. Francis Esposito joined, followed by Dr. Richard Ellis and Dr. Paul Bandt in 1971. By the mid 1970s, outpatient business was continuing to grow and in 1977, the company was renamed to Desert Radiologists.
