About Tanya Lynn Halvorsen

About The Provider

I have a broad range of interests in endocrine disorders affecting growth, puberty, thyroid, pituitary function, adrenal function and bone mineralization. I also treat all types of pediatric diabetes. I also enjoy seeing patients in the velocardiofacial (VCF) clinic to evaluate and treat endocrine manifestations of Digeorge syndrome. I recently joined the cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) clinic as well.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my two children and our humungus puppy, biking, hiking, traveling, cross-country skiing and Scottish country dancing!

    Dr Halvorsen is the sweetest, kindest doctor I've ever known. I'm so thankful to have her as my daughter's doctor. She takes the time to do everything she can to assist. She's wonderful!

    She did an excellent job of listening to us and spent more time than what I would have expected and really thought through all the different avenues of what we'll need to kind of like learn, like, you know, blood work and things like that to come to a conclusion. I was very impressed.

    Very knowledgeable. Good bedside manner and interaction with my child. Some explanations would be over the comprehension of the average person.

    I felt like she was very attentive and professional, and she listened closely to all of our concerns. I did not feel at all rushed through the appointment, and I feel like she was thorough in pursuing the source of the problem we have.

    My provider really listened to my daughter, even though what my daughter was asking about quite possibly wasn't in the diagnosis.
