Dr.Tara Ring is the best!! I had been with Dr Morse for over 25 years. I didn’t think I would be able to go to another doctor. But the minute I met Dr. Ring, I felt so comfortable and loved her from the minute I met her. She is so thorough and listens to me more than any. Dr. I have ever met. She is so personable and is so accepting of everything I tell her more than any of my other doctors. I wish she could be my Endocrinologist my rheumatologist my dermatologist! I’ve never met another Doctor Who really listens to me And actually tries to figure out what’s going on! Same with her PA and her nurse practitioner! I didn’t know who I was gonna see after Dr Morse… read full review

Reviews
My family has been going to Summit Medical Group for primary care for years. We wouldn't go anywhere else. There are also emergency care clinics in other locations if we need care on a weekend.
I have been going to Summit for a couple of years. This is the only practice my family has ever gone too. This practice has apparently taken on too many patients. When a patient gets sick and needs to see the doctor they don't want to hear there is nothing available for a week, not even for a NP. I typically wait a week when its cold/flu symptoms before I even call a DR because colds sometimes go away. Waiting another week for an appointment with your Dr is just not acceptable. On the upside I do like my Dr and nurse and feel the NPs are competent and thorough, just wish I could see them when I am sick. There is always the ER I suppose.
