Dr. Vizcarra was born and raised in beautiful small town Tennessee. She attended Southern Adventist University for undergrad where she got a BS in Biology and more importantly, met her husband (the other Dr. Vizcarra). During college, she spent two years volunteering in Peru which was a major influence in her journey to medicine. Tara relocated to Southern California for medical school, obtaining MD and MPH degrees from Loma Linda University. In her free time she enjoys creating in the kitchen, traveling and going on outdoor adventures with her husband, new son and overly energetic dog. She is excited to stay on as Chief Resident in the program she loves and to continue recruiting residents which make this such a phenomenal place!
