Tiffany Bland, MD

I’m Tiffany Bland, MD, and I joined Phelps Health in March 2025 as a board-certified primary care and family medicine physician. I see patients of all ages for a variety of conditions, including acute illnesses, diabetes, high blood pressure and other chronic diseases. I also offer preventive care, wellness visits and perform in-office procedures, including injections and minor skin procedures.

My interest in medicine began at a young age when my brother was born prematurely at just 24 weeks. That experience, along with encouragement from family members in the medical field, inspired me to become a physician. I chose family medicine because I wanted to care for patients of all ages and liked the idea of treating entire families. I also enjoy the variety it offers, allowing me to manage a wide range of medical conditions. I strive to make my patients feel heard while still being efficient, so they are never left waiting on prescriptions, results or follow-ups.

I appreciate the strong sense of community at Phelps Health and the dedication of the providers and staff. Coming from a small town myself, I value building lasting relationships with my patients and providing care that supports them throughout their lives.

My husband and I are originally from Bunker, Missouri, and we still have family there. Now, we live in Rolla with our two young sons, who keep us busy! We also have a basset hound named Dan, a duck and two fish. When I’m not working, I love spending time with family. I grew up in a large family with three brothers and three sisters, and we still get together often. I also enjoy spending time outdoors—whether it’s hiking, boating or fishing. To unwind, I like relaxing with a good book or watching football—especially the Chiefs.

Growing up in a large, close-knit family has shaped how I approach patient care. I take the time to listen, involve my patients in decisions and create individualized care plans. I believe in delivering compassionate, evidence-based care—the kind of care I would want for my own family.
