Tara is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner who earned her Doctor of Nursing Practice from Duke University, graduating at the top of her class. Her experience spans primary care, chronic disease management, employee health, and healthcare leadership.

In primary care since 2008, Tara brings nearly two decades of experience caring for families across the lifespan. She founded and runs her own primary care practice in Dallas, led the clinical team at Catapult Health through its acquisition by Teladoc Health, and has consulted for national health and wellness organizations. She has also shared her expertise as a conference panelist and published author in a clinical journal.

A mother of three, avid sports fan, and lifelong traveler who lives what she practices, Tara created The Traveling PCP so you and your family can stay proactive about your health wherever life takes you. Giving back remains a priority: she has volunteered for a decade at a Dallas urgent care clinic serving the underserved and travels abroad on medical mission trips.

Tara believes the best care is a partnership. She wants her patients to feel empowered to take ownership of their health, and she’s passionate about education and prevention as the foundation of that partnership. Thank you for trusting Tara with your family’s health!

“Life doesn’t pause when you get sick, and your healthcare shouldn’t either.”
