    I am not one who goes to the doctor on a regular basis, but every time I visit this facility, the nurses and entire staff treat me incredibly well! Dr. Beitel has been thorough. She listens and provides support, and I have so much respect for her and the team at Spring Mills! This office is a model for others!

    I've been seeing Dr. Tamar Baitel for a few years now. She always reviews MyChart beforehand and easily guides me with my healthcare. She is thorough with reviewing my care and with what comes next I love that she works in Penns Valley, so close to my home.
