Leigh Taliaferro, M.D., values consistency.
The Abilene native started his practice 17 years ago
and has developed a ﬂourishing business as a
general surgeon. He estimates that 90 percent of
his practice is for abdominal surgery. With such a
busy practice, he ﬁnds comfort in having a reliable
banking partner. “I have almost every type of busi-
ness, trust and personal account with First National
Bank of Abilene,” says Dr. Taliaferro. 
“First National is immersed in this city – everywhere
you go, they are involved with helping people with
their business. It’s because of the people who
work there – they are leaders … generous people
who make their mark on the bank and on the
community. While they may be the biggest bank
in town, they sure don’t act like it. It’s like bank-
ing with friends.”
Dr. Taliaferro has invested in First Financial
Bankshares for more than a decade. “My stock has
done nothing but go up in value. They are solid,
sound businesspeople. I sleep well at night know-
ing that my investments are in good hands.”
“While they may be the biggest 
bank in town, they sure 
don’t act like it. 
It’s like banking 
with friends.”
