      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.

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.

      Dr Sheck is a gem, love the way she connects, listens and her wide knowledge range. She's such a special person/provider that I followed her from Hagerstown to Urbana!

      Dr. Scheck is an outstanding provider. She listens very well, presents information clearly, and engages me in decision-making. I wish she was accepting new patients so I could transfer my mom and daughters to her care too!!!
