Overview

I grew up in a military family. The values of strong work ethic, perseverance, and self-determination were inculcated at an early age. I am the first person in my family to enter the medical field. I enjoy the aspect of family medicine that allows me to see children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly, but also forge long-lasting relationships with patients. I have a particular interest in preventive care and musculoskeletal conditions. Outside my medical practice, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two young children. I also enjoy outdoor activities and martial arts.

Dr. Tamba is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Xanthoma. His top areas of expertise are Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia, Xanthoma, Glucocorticoid-Remediable Aldosteronism, and Hypertension.
