    Dr.Tarpenning was attentive from beginning to end. The doctor sat with me and went over a whole page of concerns & questions I had, giving me supportive but frank answers. Clearly intelligent and well informed, but quick to look up details on anything pertinent. The doctor was efficient and ordered my prescriptions and referrals while I was still in the office. The doctor reached out to me via MyChart as soon as my results were in with follow-up information. Dr.Tarpenning is an exceptional physician.

    Dr. Tarpenning was very friendly and thorough. She listened to my health concerns and involved my wife and I in deciding how to proceed with future tests.
