History
Pediatrics Northwest, PS, was co-founded in 1980 by Dr. George Tanbara and Dr. Lawrence Larson. Their vision was to provide a highly skilled team of pediatric providers to care for the area's children. Drs. Tanbara and Larson practiced out of a small office in the Tacoma Medical Center on South 11th and L streets and soon moved to the Connemara Building on South 19th and K streets. Today, Pediatrics Northwest consists of 23 physicians, including five sub-specialists and four advanced registered nurse practitioners.In addition to our four main offices, our physicians schedule appointments at Mary Bridge Children's Health Center - Tacoma and in Chehalis, Centralia, Silverdale, Covington, Olympia and Puyallup. Pediatrics Northwest is truly a comprehensive pediatric group practice, providing care for children in the entire South Puget Sound region.
