This visit with Tarra Young tops the quality of a first-time visit out of dozens over my 65-year-old lifetime! Tarra was on the ball ready to go and completely prepared in an insightful and careful way that showed wisdom. It's like she had read my mind beforehand which was really because she had prepared for my visit by looking at chart notes and blood Labs prior. So she's looking ahead had prepared some paperwork that would allow me to get lab testing every 3 to 6 months from my favorite blood lab location automatically which would allow me the biggest blessing any doctor could provide, which was autonomy and Independence to self-regulate my condition. Hands down no other doctor has come close to that. Also she showed confidence, listening, expertise, and experience in letting me from the beginning introduce myself and my needs, and then provided just the right amount of suggestions and expertise. After the visit the medical assistant or Secretary up front, took a question from me and immediately sent a written message to Tara because I had one other small requested suggestion to her for a lab order. Tarra responded to me immediately the next morning with exactly what was needed again and the assistant or secretary up front even called me to confirm my email so she could send to me the exact document that would make my life easier. I cannot rate this provider any higher and feel extremely fortunate to have found her. We're snowbirds and she made our life easier to manage my medical condition on the road traveling In simply one visit. She also offered to be available through the portal while we travel. Thank you so much for employing her so that she can be available to so many people in a very critical area of hematology, oncology and cancer response. In a very critical area of hematology, oncology and cancer response. She is obviously serving at a medical doctor capacity! Thank you!

Tarra listened attentively and understood what I was trying to say. She responded in a positive and supportive way. Her input was very helpful in informing my decisions. Most importantly, she recognized that Authority/Power and Responsibility are two sides of the same coin and allowed me the opportunity to assume authority over and responsibility for my own wellbeing.
