OWNER, CRNA

West Texas native, Tamara (Tammy) Vaught has 25 years of experience in the healthcare field. She loves her profession as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) and has recently become double boarded as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). After four years of working with mental health patients at Ketamine Clinic of West Texas, it became apparent that there were additional needs in the community for a more diverse practice that could serve the people of West Texas more completely in their mental health needs. Tammy is excited about taking her expertise down a new avenue by providing a much-needed service to West Texas.

In her off time, Tammy loves spending time with her family. Whether it be at home with her husband and two kids or hitting the road on vacation with extended family or friends, Tammy loves to connect with people and values experiencing life.
