Personalized care starts with being heard

I’m Tara, a Family Nurse Practitioner and the founder of The Root Care Family Health NP.

After more than 17 years in healthcare, I created The Root Care Family Health NP to offer a different kind of experience—one where appointments aren’t rushed, concerns aren’t brushed aside, and there is time to look at the bigger picture.

Through The Root Care Family Health NP, I provide personalized virtual care for adults throughout New York, with a focus on primary care, menopause and perimenopause, and metabolic health.

Why I Created The Root Care Family Health NP

Traditional medical visits can feel rushed.

You may leave with a prescription but little understanding of why you feel the way you do. You may have several concerns but only enough time to discuss one. Or you may be told that your results are “normal” even though you still don’t feel like yourself.

I wanted to create a practice with more room for conversation, education, prevention, and thoughtful follow-up.

At The Root Care Family Health NP, my goal is to help you understand what is happening, what we can do about it, and what comes next.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Your care should reflect you.

Care That Looks at the Whole Picture

Depending on your needs, we may look at areas such as:

Primary Care
Preventive care, routine medical concerns, chronic condition management, medication management, screenings, laboratory testing, and ongoing primary care support.

Menopause & Perimenopause
Hot flashes, sleep changes, mood changes, weight changes, vaginal symptoms, libido concerns, brain fog, and other symptoms associated with hormonal transition.

Metabolic Care
Weight, insulin resistance, prediabetes, diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, thyroid concerns, metabolic risk factors, and medication management when appropriate.

The goal isn’t to order every test or prescribe more medication.

The goal is to determine what actually makes sense for you.

What You Can Expect From Me

When you work with me, you can expect care that is:

Thorough
I take the time to understand your history, symptoms, medications, labs, risk factors, and goals.

Personalized
Recommendations are based on your individual situation—not a generic protocol.

Straightforward
I’ll explain what I’m seeing, what I recommend, and why.

Collaborative
You should understand your options and have a voice in your care.

Focused on the long term
We aren’t only treating what is happening today. We’re also thinking about prevention and where your health is headed next.

Care With a Plan

Whether you’re looking for a primary care provider, trying to understand changes during perimenopause or menopause, or working on your metabolic health, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
