Welcome Dr. Tara Formisano, D.O., MBS




Beaufort-Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health Services proudly welcomes Dr. Tara Formisano, D.O., MBS, to our OB/GYN team!

Dr. Formisano completed her residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts. She remained at Baystate as an OB Hospitalist, specializing in high-risk obstetrics and training OB/GYN residents. During her time there, she also helped establish a women’s health program at a federally qualified health center, expanding access to gynecological care and surgical services for medically underserved populations.

Throughout her residency, Dr. Formisano received several honors recognizing her excellence, including the Award for Excellence in Maternal Fetal Medicine, Award for Excellence in Pelvic and Reconstruction Surgery, and the Ryan Award for Excellence in Family Planning.

Her clinical expertise includes high-risk obstetric care across prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum stages, as well as medical and surgical management of irregular menstrual patterns, contraception, menopause care, incontinence and prolapse, and PMDD.

Originally from Ridgefield, Connecticut, Dr. Formisano earned her undergraduate degree from Stetson University. Outside of work, she enjoys outdoor activities, traveling, and spending time with her dogs—Willy, a Yorkipoo, and Lucy, a Maltipoo puppy joining her family soon. She is an avid triathlete and loves staying active. One of her favorite experiences was a week-long sailing trip in Turkey with her sisters and best friend.
