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!

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

            She cares, she shows genuine interest, and she wants to figure out what's the best route to take care of my daughter's health. Thank you.

            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.

            Dr. Halvorsen is always so kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. She takes the time to explain everything thoroughly. She's incredibly professional, confident in her decisions, and always makes us feel reassured. I truly feel my son is in great hands with her. We're so grateful to have her as his endocrinologist-her care and dedication mean so much to our family. It gives us real peace of mind knowing she's the one guiding his treatment.

            Because she came in, you could tell that she wanted to make sure that she explained everything to me. She broke it down if I had any questions. She was always available. Appointments, they weren't too bad as far as being spaced out. You can get in and be scheduled, but it seems to be getting worse later on. But in the beginning, whenever we needed to be seen, we got in. Also I just thought that it was great the clinic was clean. It was not crowded, not overcrowded and maybe the parking, if they would validate parking, that would be great. But yeah, other than that, I would recommend.
