Tanya L. Korrell, MD, FAAP

Pediatrician/Owner

Dr. Korrell

The professional in the office:

Dr. Korrell is driven by a deep commitment to the health and happiness of our youngest generation. She has a strong interest and specialized knowledge in crucial areas such as mental health, developmental concerns, autism spectrum disorder, and the well-being of LGBTQIA+ children and teens.

What sets Dr. Korrell apart is extensive training in autism, child abuse, and developmental evaluations, with a profound understanding gained through personal lived experience with LGBTQIA+ identities, trauma, and family mental health. This unique perspective fosters a deeply empathetic and trustworthy connection with patients and their families.

Dedicated to serving the diverse needs of the Eugene community, Dr. Korrell is a strong child advocate who values a family-focused and holistic approach, resonating with those seeking a doctor who will listen and collaborate. Dr. Korrell’s cheerful and colorful personality, problem-solving nature, and deep care for the earth and its people, make her a unique advocate for your family, dedicated to helping each child reach their full potential.

The fun person within:

Welcome to the wonderfully whimsical world of Tanya! This human is powered by pure plant-based goodness and fueled by an undeniable sweet tooth – you can bet there's always a vegan dessert adventure happening somewhere nearby. When not savoring delectable treats, you might find me deep in the enchanting realms of fantasy and fiction, because let's face it, life's got enough real-world drama!

My inner magpie has a serious soft spot for the treasures of the natural world. My happy place involves wandering outdoors, breathing in the earthy scents, and carefully curating my ever-growing nature cabinet – a testament to the beauty of seeds, fascinating plants, captivating rocks, and all the little wonders the earth provides.

My life's soundtrack is a constantly evolving playlist spanning genres, because there's always a perfect melody for every moment. And when the day is done, you'll likely find me surrounded by my furry (and sometimes scaly) crew: a majestic Sphynx, two sassy tortoiseshells, a perpetually grumpy but deeply loved diabetic grandpa cat, a sleek shadow of a black cat, a ball python named Toga, and an immortal giant hermit crab. They definitely keep things interesting! Ultimately, for me, life is about connecting with nature, losing myself in stories, and finding joy in the simple, beautiful things.

Dr. K likes Mooshoos!!

and little creatures on the coast! By-the-wind sails!

She takes a lot of nature pictures

In nature with her children is her happy place!

The Pets

Yep, there are 6 cats and a dog at home! Yikes! It was an accident, and we love them all! Ask about the grumpy old man with diabetes or the 2 hairless cats!

Cholula

The office service dog

(in training)!

Cholula was born on August 25, 2025, and was adopted by Dr. Korrell and Clara on October 5, 2025 after her birth mommy stopped feeding her.

She is being trained as an anxiety service dog. Cholula, also know as "Lula," "LuLu," or "Lu", will be in the office eventually. She is currently in her toddler phase and is too rambunctious to be at the office. She does not like to be away from her mom and will bark, whine, and escape whe Dr. Korrell goes into the room to see a patient.

Once she is trained, she will be available to all patients for petting, cuddling, deep pressure, light pressure, and nose boops! The goal is to help alleviate fear and anxiety in the office by providing a safe outlet for those feelings.

We signed the Oregon Health Forward Pledge

Oregon thrives when every person, family, and community has what they need to live a healthy, full life—no matter their income, background, or ZIP code. Moving Oregon Health Forward means building workplaces, neighborhoods, and systems that are fair, healthy, and full of opportunity. It means eliminating health disparities so our state remains an incredible place to raise a family, run a business, and live a good life—for everyone. This work will take all of us—businesses, community groups, schools, faith communities, health care providers, and leaders across every sector.

We commit to:

Hold firm. In a time of rising demand and growing uncertainty, we commit to staying the course. Advancing health and opportunity is a smart investment in stronger communities and a more resilient future.
Act where we can. We will take steps—large and small—to strengthen the health and wellbeing of the people we employ, serve, and impact.
Consider health in all decision-making. We will weigh how our policies, budgets, products, and services affect people’s ability to live well—especially those who face systemic barriers.
Support solutions. We will use our voice and resources to back efforts that help more Oregonians thrive.
Stand together. By adding our name publicly, we join a growing statewide network committed to Oregon’s health.

We WILL fight for you!!
