About Me
MY STORYSince 1995, I’ve been a nurse practitioner in both New York City and San Francisco. After 19 years at Bayspring Medical Group in SF, I relocated to another Altais (formerly Brown & Toland) group in Berkeley and then Oakland.
Finally leaving corporate life behind, I recently joined a private practice in Berkeley. I am now realizing my dream to provide private, personalized care to local patients looking for a nurse practitioner as their sole primary care provider.
With 25 years of clinical expertise under my belt, I offer a personalized, human touch to bridge the gap between knowledge and actionable health care. My mission is to make preventive care engaging and accessible.
I use Epic (Altais MyChart)
I have a robust referral base in SanFrancisco, Oakland and Berkeley.
When I’m not in the office, you may find me hiking and birding all over the Bay Area, attending music festivals, visiting family in Oregon, tending to my sphynx cats, jigsaw puzzling, Yahtzee-ing, listening to true crime podcasts, or watching yet another season of Survivor.

“Tara has been seeing my husband and I for almost two years, and I am extremely grateful that we have her as our primary care physician. Her approach towards primary care can be described as compassionate, thorough, curious, and responsive. She is an exemplary LGBTQ+ friendly practitioner and has always been respectful towards my gender identity and chosen name.
What I appreciate most about Tara is her openness to trying novel evidence-based healthcare interventions to improve the quality of her patient’s lives.
Tara has helped my husband and I navigate our routine and preventative care, androgenic alopecia treatments, and weight management interventions.
If we express a health concern, Tara makes sure that no stone is left unturned. Tara is quick to order the necessary diagnostic tests, and her broad network of colleagues makes finding the right specialist a breeze
We’ve followed Tara over the years as her office location has changed, and we will continue to do so for as long as she’s practicing medicine.

“I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with NP Tara Reilly as my primary care “doctor”. From the very first visit, she made me feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. She takes the time to listen carefully, explain things clearly, and ensure that I fully understand my care and options.
What stands out the most is her compassion and professionalism. Tara approaches every interaction with patience, kindness, and a true commitment to providing the best possible care. I never feel rushed during appointments, and I always leave feeling confident that I am in excellent hands.
The entire experience—from scheduling to follow-up—has been smooth and supportive. Tara is dedicated not only to treating patients but to building trust and long-term relationships. Unlike my past Doctor and care team Tara takes the time to continuously educate herself on current health issues and stay appraised of the continuously changing healthcare protocols, recommendations, and advancements. I was shut down many times with Kaiser when dealing with Perimenopause and Tara was not only well informed but also provided me with additional information, support, and care.”
I am truly grateful for the outstanding care I have received and would highly recommend Nurse Practitioner/Physician Assistant Primary Care Tara J. Reilly to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, attentive, and compassionate healthcare provider.
