Dr. Tara Tarantino is a Board-Certified Family Medicine physician in Walnut Creek, California, specializing in Primary Care and Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment. She takes a holistic, patient-centered approach, building meaningful partnerships with patients to support long-term health and wellness. Dr. Tarantino provides comprehensive care for patients 10 years old and older.

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a patient-first approach to healthcare that restores the doctor–patient relationship. Instead of billing insurance for each visit or procedure, DPC operates through a simple monthly or annual membership. This model allows for unhurried visits, transparent pricing, and more direct access to your physician — with no copays and no hidden fees.

As a DPC member, patients receive:

  • Direct access to Dr. Tarantino via phone, secure messaging, and video visits

  • Unhurried appointments with time to fully address concerns and develop personalized care plans

  • Same-day or next-day visits for urgent needs

  • Shorter wait times during office visits

  • One comprehensive annual physical, including an InBody composition scan and EKG when medically indicated

  • In-house injections (including vaccines, vitamin B12, and medications)

  • Discounted self-pay rates for labs and imaging

  • Up to 20% off physician-grade supplements

Dr Tarantino is accepting new patients in Walnut Creek and the surrounding East Bay Area communities.

Testimonials

  • I had an appointment with Dr. Taratino last week for a physical. She was thorough with rhe exam, took the time to listen to my concerns, addressing both physical and social issues. She truly is a holistic practitioner. I am scheduled to see her soon for an osteopathic manipulation for neck problems; I am looking forward to it!

  • Dr. Tarantino is one of the best doctors I have ever ever had. She is patient, kind, puts patients firsts, will give you the best treatment and advice possible, and responds right away. Both my husband and I see her and she is one of the best doctors we have had.

  • My recent visit with Dr. Tarantino went better then I could have expected. I prefer to start with alternative approaches to healing and she was extremely respectful of my preferences. She actually listened when I talked and I feel like I got to ask every question I had saved up for the visit. I would highly recommend her to everyone I know.
