I travel a lot. My body, mind and soul take a beating. Having Tamara to help me heal and reset is invaluable to my overall well being. I rely on her for my physical, spiritual and mental health on par with how much I rely on the guys maintaining the shark cages I dive in and the parachutes I jump with...a lot.

Discovering Tamara was like finding a needle in a haystack!

I suffered a serious shoulder trauma falling off my bicycle that almost ruptured my AC joint. I was lucky to be referred to Tamara who after a number of sessions not only healed my shoulder to 100% recovery but also treated so many of my minor inner ailments with her expert care and treatment. I will always return to her practice for any injury or health concern I have. Truly an invigorating experience.

I love Tamara! I have been seeing her for over a year and she has helped me in so many ways.
She is very intuitive, professional, and knowledgeable.
My treatments will vary depending on what she feels I need that day, so we have done a mix of both acupuncture and cupping.
Both always make a difference in my week and I always leave feeling more alive and energetic.
I love her confidence in her practice and feel very comfortable in her care.
She is a true master of her trade!!!

I’m a video editor working in a very fast-paced environment. I am prone to pain all over my back, neck, wrists, and in my fingers. About three years ago the pain got to be so excruciating that I didn’t want to get out of bed in the morning. I saw massage therapists, chiropractors, doctors, and pilates instructors; but nothing provided any real pain relief. I decided to give acupuncture a shot. I was skeptical at first and ever since childhood I’ve hated the idea of “needles.” Little did I know, acupuncture doesn’t even hurt! What most people think are “needles” are nothing more than tiny metal pricks that you don’t even feel. It was nothing like having a doctor put a needle in you to get a shot. Within ten minutes of my first appointment I realized something, Tamara was not only extremely professional, but of all the specialists I saw, she was the only one who actually cared about my condition. She treated me as if she was going to benefit from these treatments just as much as I was! She gives 150% all the time and will not be satisfied until she has healed you. Within two weeks I was on the road to recovery. Without Tamara, I don’t know if I would have ever found the true solution to my intense pain and discomfort.

After experiencing six years of chronic migraines and poor digestion due to Celiac Disease, I decided to give acupuncture a try. I was skeptical because I had tried pretty much everything else without much success. After just one treatment, I noticed an improvement in my digestion and after a few more visits, my migraines began to diminish in frequency and severity. Since then, I have also seen Tamara for occasional shoulder and sciatic pain and also experienced great results. Tamara is a sincere doctor who listens closely and truly desires to see her patients get well. She is hands down the best!

I have had two major surgeries in less than a year. If it wasn’t for Dr. Tamara Tifft I would not be able to walk, drive, cook meals for my family or walk up stairs. This doctor has helped me so much I cannot thank her enough. Recovery from extreme back pain! ​Thank you so much for helping my body heal and relax.

I originally was referred to Tamara to help with some serious back and neck pain. She handled that with great care, empathy and professionalism. Because Tamara was so easy to talk to and sincerely interested in my overall health and well being, during my treatments we began a dialogue about living a healthy lifestyle - something in which I am passionately interested. In the course of our conversations and her intelligent and intuitive questions we discovered that I had other intestinal issues that I have carried around. Tamara’s mind, body and spirit approach to healing has put me on a path to a magically enriched life. Those discomforts are disappearing and giving rise to a new, more vibrant normal - one that is free of the pain and discomfort . I seek Tamara’s counsel regularly and plan on making periodic, pro-active visits to experience her magic before a crisis occurs. Thank you Tamara.

Always wanted to “try” acupuncture and just took a chance doing so.... Did some research on acupuncturists in the area and they all led me back to Tamara. My boss, a 30+ year private practice dietitian, swears by the practice she works alongside, so that said something to me as well.
Coincidentally, Tamara prefers and has extensive experience with my patient population as well: addiction. When discussing her practice with her, everything comes back to the fact that she loves what she does & she genuinely cares about her patients.
I went to Tamara because I exercise like a nut & developed a bad “swimmers shoulder” that just wouldn’t go away. When I see Tamara regularly, she is the only person or action that has healed my shoulder pain. It’s miraculous. I also believe she has helped a number of other persistent (personal) issues, some of which include: pmdd, sinus fluid blockage, and sleep issues.
To put it simply, she is a master at her craft. She has extensive knowledge far beyond the scope of many who hold PhDs and MDs which encompasses the body, functional & integrative medicine, herbal medicine, and great, reliable business practices. All the better, she even takes my insurance and allows herself the hassle of dealing with that end of the business. She definitely doesn’t need to financially as her following is loyal & true and her practice bustling, but simply wants to provide her services to many regardless of financial constraint & because she cares. She is a sharp, enjoyable presence & highly skilled. She’s lives by what she recommends. I have friends who have their own acupuncturists, and I try to tell them theirs isn’t like mine, but they just won’t listen!!! Tamara is as good as it gets.

Tamara is the absolute best! I am so grateful to have her to guide me through the dietary changes and improvements I have needed to make for some time. She has healed my body’s ailments and shown me how to continue recovery outside of her office. My body feels more alive and vibrant thanks to her!

Tamara is very knowledgeable, professional, and of course, hilarious! It’s always a treat to see her - my body feels better and she is always a delight! :)

Tamara is amazing. Not only did her accupuncture help my symptoms, she went above and beyond recommending other healing options. Love her and highly recommend. She cares deeply about her patients.

I am so grateful that I found Tamara. It’s clear that she loves what she does and it shows in the level of care she gives her patients. I’m a borderliner with PTSD. I suffer from extreme stress. It’s off the charts. She actually spent time on her own looking up the latest data on Borderline Personality Disorder and the potential treatment modalities at her disposal so that she could be better prepared for my next visit! Who, besides a maybe a mental health care worker, does that!? It’s clear she’s not there just for a paycheck.., she’s there to help you feel better with all the tools she has in her repertoire. I just updated my google calendar for indefinite, twice a week visits with Tamara for acupuncture therapy. I’m finding it most helpful and we’ve only just begun!
