About The Provider
Tara was born in Lincoln, Nebraska and was raised in Colorado Springs. She grew up in a home where she was drawn to take care of others. Her mother was a nurse who became chronically ill and Tara has helped take care of her over the years. Becoming a physician assistant (PA) was a natural fit for her. Tara received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from the University of Colorado at Boulder. After college she worked at Boulder Community Hospital where she shadowed a PA. That experience led to her attending the University of St. Francis in Albuquerque, New Mexico where she earned her Master of Science degree in PA Studies in 2005. Her clinical interests include pediatrics and geriatric medicine. Tara specializes in helping diabetic patients achieve their health goals and in managing many other chronic medical conditions.
"Everybody is different and it is important to listen to the patient. They know themselves best."
Family is important to Tara; she has been married for more than decade and has two daughters. As a family, they enjoy skiing, hiking, road biking, traveling and any other family adventure.

I would highly recommend Tara Clemens
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/6/2026
I have had satisfactory visits and trust in Tara’s medical care. All Doctor’s and associates are tied to mandatory protocols, which are not always the best way to heal an issue. I would allow them to be honest and open about any known options that may help, without reprimand for not immediately prescribing medication as the major solution. Tara knows that I prefer natural solutions if they work, and respectfully offers her knowledge and opinions to assist me in healing.

Because I am 82 years old some doctors act like it a waste of time to treat me. Tara Clemens never acts like age is an excuse to not offer suggestions and treatments. Her follow up is excellent after blood tests and gives concise instructions.
