Meet
               Dr. Tarin

I am a board certified Family Medicine physician and native of west Texas. My passion is helping patients manage and reverse chronic disease through the implementation of Lifestyle Medicine, in which I am board certified. Based in west Texas, I understand the unique challenges faced by rural communities in accessing care that is personalized, convenient, and affordable. I see patients of all ages and my special interests in medicine include care of young families, nutrition, preventive health, and functional longevity. The DPC model allows me to deliver modern healthcare to my patients with the hospitality of an old-fashioned doctor’s house call. The doctor is in and I can’t wait to meet you!

Dr. Tarin’s wife, JoGina, is a certified physician assistant (PA-C) and together they have three wonderful children. Both are excited to serve the community they call home. Spending time with his family and faith community keeps him grounded.  Apart from medicine, he enjoys gardening, fitness, learning languages, playing musical instruments, and helping others discover a love of healthy cooking. He is fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, and conversational in French.
