    Dr. T. Says she works for me. I love her attitude. We can talk about anything! It's so nice to be treated like she treats me. Only gives me more faith in her opinions and options to me.

    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.

    I've been with her for 3 or 4 years now, when I moved here. She has allows been there for me. I can always get an appointment with someone in her office. I also email her, probably more often then I need to and she always returns my message.

    It may seem excessive to provide the highest score on all matters. But as the son of a physician father and an RN mother, I observed these matters up close for many years before becoming a patient during my adulthood. My first experience with Mount Nittany several years ago was highly unsatisfactory because I felt as if I was being hustled out the door. That is not the case today.
