FemaleAbout Tanya Busenlener
I specialize in pediatric primary care. I have always wanted to be a doctor, even as a child. My mother is a doctor, which was unusual in her day, and I know that was an influence on me. I discovered pediatrics during medical school and felt I had found my calling. Watching my patients progress from infancy to adulthood, and helping to keep them happy and healthy along the way is truly a privilege.
My patients can always count on me to provide extraordinary care because they know I deeply care about each and every one of them. Being a pediatrician is not just my job, it is a part of who I am.
My little something extra
I am an artist and particularly love to paint. I continue to take classes and explore new mediums and subjects!

She was very nice, empathetic. I really enjoyed going to see this doctor because I felt she was outstanding in customer service. I would recommend her to anyone.

Yes, I really liked this provider, this doctor. I think they did a really good job, really reminded me of how doctors used to be and I wish still were sometimes. They did give us what we needed for our daughter that we haven't been able to get from other providers, which was really nice and really needed. So I would say most of all, my experience was a 10 out of 10 with this provider. Thank you. Bye-bye.

We love Dr B. She is very responsive when messaging and truly cares about her patients. She is gentle and calm. She is patient with the million questions I always have for her and explains the answers in a way that I understand and makes sure I do understand. She is the best.

Dr B is the absolute best. She is actively listening and engaged. I always feel like she is available when I need help. She explains things in a way for me to understand and makes sure that I do understand the guidance she provides. She is caring, kind, and patient. We love Dr B!

Tanya Busenlener is a positive addition and the reason why I'm switching all of my children from Ochsner to children's . The difference in care is wonderful.

I have the best doctor of all time. I've been seeing her for years and she's been there for me every step of the way to a healthy life. I've always gone to see her and so has all of the members of my family.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/21/2025
I liked the way she treated me, the attention, the delicacy she showed in explaining everything I asked. I also liked and appreciated the fact that she speaks Spanish and tried to understand me and didn't use a translator. But yes, excellent doctor. Very good. Very good doctor. And yes, I recommend him, he's recommended. It's easier to understand each other when the person, the doctor, and the patient speak the same language. And I think that's great.

The provider was great. The wait time was horrible. It took 40 minutes for the provider to come see us. We waited so long no one came to check on us or rely that the doctor was behind. After the doctor came she apologized but it took the nurse an additional 10 minutes to come in and administer the shots. More communication would be great.

We absolutely LOVE Dr. B and her nurse. My daughter actually said she enjoyed getting her ear irrigated because Dr. B and the nurse were so amazing! That's something you don't hear every day. I can't say enough wonderful things about this facility and the employees!

This is the best provider I've ever seen. She's been my kid's doctor for seven years. She's very kind, patient. She listens to what you have to say, doesn't rush you through the appointment. And I really couldn't look for any other doctor. My next child will be with the same doctor. I love Ms. Busenlener.

My child has been seeing Dr. B since he is a newborn. She is the best doctor ever. She is very thorough, always, always answers any type of concerns that I have. Since the beginning, always has made me feel super comfortable. My son loves her since his first visit with her. She is very, very amazing with kids. Has a lot of love, experience, patience, and I've never had any negative encounter with her. She is amazing.
