    She always listens and discusses choices. I have recommended her to others, but sadly she is not accepting new patients.

    Dr. T is fantastic, she genuinely takes time to speak with and listen to me. This was just a check-up, so no issues but we reviewed the past year and things looking forward.

    Dr. Tsarnakova is hands down, the best provider in all of Mount Nittany. She always listens to my concerns and comes up with an appropriate game plan. She addresses any questions that I have. Could not be more happy with my primary care provider.
