New Patients at Our Beaverton Pediatric Office
Welcome to Tanasbourne Pediatrics! Choosing a pediatrician is one of the most important decisions you will make for your family, and we are here to make joining our practice simple. Whether you are expecting a baby, moving to Beaverton, OR , or looking for a more personal pediatric experience for your child or teen, this page explains our care philosophy, vaccine policy, and appointment policies so you know what to expect before your first visit.
Our Philosophy of Care
We believe every child deserves consistent, preventive care from a pediatrician who knows them well. From the first newborn check through regular well-child checks and the teen years, our physicians focus on healthy growth, development, and lifelong habits. We also believe that all children should receive the recommended vaccines according to the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Vaccines are safe and effective in preventing disease and health complications in children and young adults, and they remain one of the safest and best methods of disease prevention.
Vaccine Policy
Tanasbourne Pediatrics follows the immunization guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Our immunization services include routine childhood vaccines as well as seasonal flu and COVID-19 vaccines. For information about these vaccines and the diseases they protect against, please visit the American Academy of Pediatrics. For detailed vaccine information, please visit Immunize.org.
Missed Appointments and Cancellations
If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call at least 24 hours in advance to cancel. Even if you are within the 24-hour window, please call us as soon as you know you will not be able to make it. This allows us to offer the time to another family who needs care.
Appointments canceled on the same day may be considered “No Show” appointments and will be assessed a $50 fee. Missed appointments without notification are considered “No Show/No Call” appointments. Three (3) or more “No Show/No Call” appointments within a one-year period may result in dismissal from the practice.
If two children from the same household are scheduled at the same time and the appointment is a “No Show/No Call,” any future appointments must be scheduled separately, at different times and on different days.
Late Arrival Policy
Please arrive on time. If you arrive 5 (five) minutes or more after your scheduled appointment time, you will be considered a no show. This policy helps our physicians stay on schedule and respects the time of every family we see. To make check-in easier, complete your patient forms before your visit.
Mask Policy
To keep patients in our common areas safe and our staff healthy, patients and family members over the age of 2 with any of the following symptoms are required to wear a mask covering the mouth and nose at all times while in our office:
- Fever
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Eye redness or discharge
- Runny nose
- Chills
- Body aches
We appreciate your help keeping everyone healthy!
