Tara listened to my concerns, answered my questions, and took the time to explain things to me. She walked me through completing a DNR and made that easier.

Tara is very thorough and doesn't make you feel rushed. She listened carefully to my concerns and arrived at a solution to the problem in a way that satisfied us both. Conservatively treating the issue, with a plan for follow up to see if dosage is sufficient or needs to be adjusted.
