Throughout my visit, the PA demonstrated genuine care and compassion. I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE HER AS MY PA. She is truly exceptional - always friendly., attentive, and thorough in every aspect of her care. She replies to our portal updates and conerns. She listens closely to concerns, follows through with professionalism, and never forgets a face. Her warmth and consistency make every visit feel personal and reassuring.

I think Tara Villinger is awesome! I truly appreciate her level of concern, care and compassion she showed me. I had just experienced the loss of a cousin whom I was so very close to and she understood that I was in a different frame of mind than I would normally be. She is a wonderful person whom I have a great deal of confidence in and I know she wants the best for me.
