Great experience! Tara was very easy to talk to and really listened to what I was looking for instead of pushing a one-size-fits-all solution. She helped me come up with a thoughtful plan for a specific issue and made me feel comfortable and informed the whole time. Highly recommend.

Very professional and understanding of my situation. Helped me gain insight upon medications and my options. She helped me feel very secure in my future in these medications which allowed me to remain optimistic and grounded.
