Very helpful and knowledgeable

Dr. Scheck is the best primary care doctor I have ever had. This says a lot coming from a military spouse who has moved several times and has had several different primary care doctors. She is so kind, caring, patient, and seems to actually care about what I have to say or how I'm feeling. Which has been a first for me in all the years we moved around with the military.Thank you, Dr. Tara Scheck!!!What a treasure she is.

Outstanding care/service from Dr.Scheck and assistants as always.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/4/2025
In my 57 years, I have had many primary and specialty doctors. Dr. Scheck has by far been the most professional, helpful and knowledgeable of any.Having the knowledge that Dr. Scheck is overseeing my current health and has for the last 11 years is very comforting.I made sure that my teenage son has her as his primary.If only the US healthcare industry could replicate her knowledge, kindness, empathy and professionalism to all other providers.My biggest concern is what to do if Dr. Scheck decided to retire.

I've been getting outstanding service from Dr. Scheck for at least the past 15 years. I started seeing Dr. Scheck when she was located at Hagerstown, Md JH facility. When she moved to Urbana, Md, I decided to continue to have her as my primary Care Doctor (100 miles round trip) because I felt comfortable,with her, due of her personable and professional matter in which she conducted our visits. I honestly get the feeling that she "really" care about my well being.

My wife Diane was the patient on this occasion for an annual wellness visit. Diane has dementia. Dr. Scheck reviewed recent blood work and performed a routine physical exam. She responded to my concerns and questions with practical suggestions and made a referral to a social worker for further options and support. In addition, we were provided flu and Covid vaccines which we appreciated. A very successful visit.
