Kiana Taba, MD - Board Certified in Rheumatology, Internal Medicine, Clinical Densitometry

Kiana Taba, MD

As the daughter of a rheumatologist, Dr. Taba was exposed to medicine, even autoimmune diseases, at a young age. She was fascinated by the workings of the human body and knew that she wanted to be a doctor.

After graduating from Emory University, Dr. Taba attended Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. She then trained at West Virginia University and the University of Southern California. She is board certified in Rheumatology, Internal Medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine.

Her years in practice showed her how difficult our healthcare system has made it to provide the best care to patients. The ways her father practiced seem to be gone. But her mission is to remove barriers and bring back that level of care. And so, she opened her own practice that is run on a membership model that puts patient’s needs first.

Dr. Taba does this with extended appointment times that allow her to truly hear the patient’s story. Patients will have unlimited accessibility to the doctor, allowing them to get care in between visits. Dr. Taba also provides house calls for those who are in need.
