Tara likes to say she does "everything but be the doctor." That about sums it up. Let her know if you'd like schedule an appointment, or have questions related to OMT treatments. She and Dr. Anjani have been friends for over 25 years and she is dedicated to success for our patients and practice.

When not in the office, she enjoys plant and mushroom medicine, meditation, painting, qigong, swimming in the creek with friends, and exploring the amazing ecosystems of our bioregion.

Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine

Through osteopathic touch, Dr. Teves' treatments encourage the body to relax, facilitating lymph movement which is vital to our health, leading to increased health and freedom of breath and movement. Where lymph is not moving you will likely experience pain, stiffness, tenderness, and inflammation. Let Osteopathy help you feel better and better.
