What patients have written
I was looking for a doctor who could be a partner and actually pull together all my history and past testing. Dr. Tagge has been that for three years now. Heart health was my biggest concern so that's where we started. He ordered the labs, gave me a plan and numbers to track so I know I'm on the right path. He's very data driven and his reports are so thorough I usually have my answers before I think to ask. The biggest thing for me is I don't lie awake wondering if something's being missed anymore. I trust he's looking at the whole picture. Highly recommend.
★★★★★Matt V. · Google review, 2026I started working with Dr. Tagge on my personal health, but I saw a larger need in my own patient population. People who are confused by multiple doctors prescribing multiple medications due to multiple opinions all coming from different perspectives. I’ve referred these patients to Dr Tagge to take a global, big picture look at my patients’ health and determine what’s best for each and every individual.
Have been working with Dr. Tagge for a couple of months and highly recommend... Very relational, assesses health specific to you (not averages and insurance tables), available and responsive.
