Kristi Tapper is empathetic, informative and really listens to my concerns addressing them all. She explains the side effects or cost of any new treatment we agree on and is not afraid to refer me to a specialist if she thinks they would be more helpful. We are so lucky to have her in our area!

It’s taken me almost seven years to find this gem of a Primary provider! But I thank God every time I need to see her! Amazing! When I’m with her for an appointment she comes in Fully prepared, as informed re: my current issues as well as up to date on any previous relevant info. She is full engaged and asked pointed, educated questions, very much in target to the issue at hand. Friendly, down to earth, thorough, and GENUINE! All things one could hope for in a health provider and much more. I am blessed and grateful to have such medical provider in my life- especially at this time- the latter (and LATER) years of my life!! Thank you Kristie Tapper!!

I became a patient of Kristie when I moved to Niantic about eight years ago. Couldn’t have asked for a more superior provider. She is super thorough and listens to all concerns. She researches any potential issues that I gave and treats me like a true partner in my care plan. She is the best!

Kristi Tapper always calms me down. She makes me feel less anxious about my concerns. One of the best medical professionals I have ever visited.

5 out of 5 stars

Kristie is a high energy, caring and knowledgeable nurse practitioner. She gives on her full attention and has good recommendations for finding solutions to health problems. Though I am an elder she does not treat me as an old person but as a wise person. I recommend her highly and only wish she could have the pleasure of a caseload that does not demand that she give 200% day in and day out. It would be my wish that Hartford Healthcare would stop trying to build an empire on the blood, sweat and tears of good healthcare professionals. All of you in the hierarchy need to read Timothy Snyder's excellent memoir, Our Malady. Get the capitalists our of medicine and let the values of human care return to medicine.
