    I am very hard to please with the medical profession. I have found Mt Nittany and specifically the Bellefonte office to provide excellent care.

    Tara, the PA, asked relevant questions, such as whether I was on a blood thinner, before prescribing my meds. Like everyone else in the clinic, she was professional and friendly.

    I wish the provider had spent a little more time with me and done a more thorough examination.

    I can't say enough positive things about Tara. She is fantastic! She has extensive knowledge of my medical history, and my well-being is always a top priority for her. Ifwhen I feel something is "off" with my body, she is sure to help me get to the bottom of the problem so I feel my very best. I am so grateful for her.
