Tara takes her time with the patient and is very thorough clinically in understanding my side effects and solution recs. My sister came on one occasion and she said she thought she was the Physician because of her clinical throughness, Confidence and demeanor. I really needed her on the personal aspect because she took the time to understand my psychology during the journey and was very validating.
