Vanessa Tartaglia, DO

Dr. Vanessa Tartaglia is a board-certified family medicine physician and the founder of Tartaglia Family Medicine, a direct primary care practice in Peoria, Arizona. After years in a traditional family practice with more than 3,000 patients on her panel, she grew frustrated watching people wait too long for access to her care, so she built a smaller, more personal practice instead.

She earned an undergraduate degree in Nutritional Science from the University of Arizona and became a Registered Dietitian before completing medical school at Midwestern University Arizona Osteopathic Medicine. Her training continued at Banner University Good Samaritan Family Practice Residency, where she served as Chief Resident, and she is certified by the American Board of Family Medicine. She belongs to the American Academy of Family Physicians and the Arizona Academy of Family Physicians, and Phoenix Magazine named her a Top Doctor in 2019.

An Arizona native, she grew up on a farm in Peoria as the youngest of five children. Married to her high school sweetheart, she raises three kids and two dogs with him in Peoria, where the family attends church together, does CrossFit, and heads out for weekend camping trips.
