I have been a pt of Tara for a number of years and I followed her from her previous practice in Goose Creek to her new location in Mt P. Tara has always held my individual wellbeing to the highest regard and always gives me a number of options to consider during any treatment, whether it is a medication change, a referral to a specialist, or even advocating for me. I also love Tara's nurse Ginger who is also equally amazing!
