A Pediatrician Who Puts Families First: Meet Dr. Tanya Korrell

Finding a pediatrician who truly takes the time to listen and care for your whole family can make all the difference. For families in the Eugene–Springfield area, Dr. Tanya Korrell offers a refreshingly thoughtful and compassionate approach to pediatric care.

With 17 years of experience, Dr. Korrell believes in providing total care—not just for the patient, but for the entire family. Her appointments are intentionally scheduled for a full hour, giving families the time and space to ask questions, talk through concerns, and feel fully supported without ever feeling rushed.

A Comfortable, Child-Centered Experience

Dr. Korrell understands that medical visits can be intimidating for some children. To help ease anxiety, she offers flexibility during appointments, including seeing patients outside of the exam room if a child feels more comfortable in the lobby. This child-led approach helps create a sense of safety and trust from the very first visit.

An Office That Feels Like Home

From the moment you walk in, Dr. Korrell’s office feels more like a welcoming home than a traditional doctor’s office. Families will find thoughtful touches throughout the space, including:

  • A free clothing closet
  • A free pantry
  • Snacks available in the kitchen while you wait

These small but meaningful details reflect Dr. Korrell’s deep commitment to caring for families beyond just medical needs.
