Thomas Roe graduated from Oregon State College and received his medical degree from the University of Oregon Medical School.After his residency and internship in Pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco, he became Chief Resident at San Francisco General Hospital. Dr. Roe distinguished himself as a Captain in the US Air Force and became Pediatrician-in-Chief at the U.S. Air Force Hospital in South Ruislip, England. Dr. Roe returned to the University of Oregon Health Science Center and for three years served as an instructor and Assistant Professor in what eventually became the outpatient department of Pediatrics. Since 1969, Dr. Thomas Roe has been in private practice as a general pediatrician in Lane County, Oregon with the Eugene Clinic and Peace Health Medical Group while also serving as a voluntary Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at Oregon Health & Sciences University. Physicians at Doernbecher consider Dr. Roe “our man in Eugene” and are grateful for the care he gives for critically ill and complex pediatric patients.

Dr. Roe’s contributions to his community and to Pediatrics are many and he has been recognized numerous times for his exemplary service. He has served on the Executive Committee and as Chief of Pediatrics at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eugene. Regionally, he served the Oregon Pediatric Society and the Oregon Chapter of American Academy of Pediatrics as Alternate Chapter Chairman. He is a past president of the Lane County Medical Society. Nationally, Dr. Roe holds the unique position of having served on the Board of Directors of the American Board of Pediatrics and the American Board of Family Medicine. Dr. Roe is currently contributing to the development of the Peace Health Regional Medical School. Without question Thomas Roe is a leader in Pediatrics, not only as a model for excellent patient care but also as a pediatric statesman both regionally and nationally.
