Meghan McKiernan, MD
Dr. Meghan McKiernan is grateful to practice primary care on the Central Coast. She was recruited to the area after finishing a family medicine residency program at Eastern Virginia Medical School in 2016.
Chronic disease management, including prioritizing mental health, transitions of care from hospital to outpatient settings, and working with families are the main stays of her practice and give her the strength to continue pursuing her calling to help others on their health journey. She excels at being an exceptional listener and active team player in her patients health goals. Her work ethic is balanced by her active family, a husband and 3 growing boys. You may see Dr. McKiernan around town riding bikes, on the sports field, or out in nature at one of our beautiful state parks.
Matthew Talarico, MD
Matthew Talarico, MD, is board certified in Family Medicine. He earned his Bachelor’s degree at the University of Notre Dame and his medical degree at Loyola University of Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. After completing his residency years at the West Suburban Family Medicine Residency Program, just outside of Chicago, he practiced his first ten years in and around his hometown of Morris, Illinois. For the past twelve years he has loved his years in California - now seeing his patients in Templeton and Los Osos.
While appreciating his traditional training, Dr. Talarico enjoys a more holistic approach that centers around wellness, especially utilizing nutrition to achieve optimum health.
Katrina Hirsig, NP
Katrina Hirsig grew up in a small town in Northern California, at the base of the Sierra Nevadas. She received her undergraduate degrees from San Diego State University.
She completed her Masters of Nursing from Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions (MGHIHP) in Boston, and is Board Certified in Family Medicine from the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and the California BRN. Katrina is grateful to practice Primary Care medicine in a small town here on the central coast with a group of caring, evidenced based providers.
When Katrina is not caring for her patients in Los Osos, she loves to spend time with her family and their very spoiled cat. She also enjoys traveling, learning Ukulele and guitar, and cooking.
