Throughout my visit, the PA demonstrated genuine care and compassion. I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE HER AS MY PA. She is truly exceptional - always friendly., attentive, and thorough in every aspect of her care. She replies to our portal updates and conerns. She listens closely to concerns, follows through with professionalism, and never forgets a face. Her warmth and consistency make every visit feel personal and reassuring.

I think Tara Villinger is awesome! I truly appreciate her level of concern, care and compassion she showed me. I had just experienced the loss of a cousin whom I was so very close to and she understood that I was in a different frame of mind than I would normally be. She is a wonderful person whom I have a great deal of confidence in and I know she wants the best for me.

Tara Villinger matches the picture in my head for a care provider. She's clearly sharp and knows her stuff. I know she periodically discusses my case with her doc, and I can tell they're not just pro-forma discussions. She's patient, easy to work with, super friendly and caring and is always clear about options. She's the best of the people I've worked with at Emory, and I've had good experiences with most of them. Please put this in her personnel file.

Very helpful with any questions I had.

Ms. Villager spent extra time with me to fully explain in plain language the results of my cognitive tests and compare three years of testing with me. I appreciate the extra effort and her clear demonstration of concern for my care.
