  • Apr 24, 2024

    This was a pre-op visit for a procedure to be performed at another hospital. Dr. Tammara was very thorough in assessing my medical and mental status. Her suggestions for my post-op pain management were extremely helpful, eliminating the need for narcotics.

  • Mar 4, 2024

    Dr. Tammara was very helpful/informative.

  • Oct 3, 2023

    *Dr. Tammara listens and takes an extra effort to speak clearly and slowly so that even with my extremely diminished hearing I can understand what she says.
