Children’s Medical Center Philosophy
Every pediatric practice is different. Please read these frequently asked questions from new patient families to determine of Children’s Medical Center will be a good fit for your children’s and family’s needs.
Will my child see a pediatric physician each time?
We pride ourselves on making our office your child’s medical home. To do that we encourage families to pick one pediatrician as their primary provider who will know your child and family best. We strive to schedule you with your primary physician first, but our top priority is getting you an appointment quickly when your child is sick and at a time that is convenient for your schedule, so there are situations when it makes more sense to see one of the other pediatricians in the office.
Do you schedule same day sick visits?
Yes. We are generally able to schedule sick visits on the day that you call.
Do you have weekend or evening hours?
Yes, we are open on Saturday mornings for same day sick visit appointments. We also always have a triage nurse available to help with any questions or concerns. During business hours those triage nurses are in our office, and through Children’s Hospital of Colorado when we are closed. There is also a pediatrician always on call as well.
How can I communicate with my child’s doctor between appointments?
Children’s Medical Center uses a secure, online message platform called MyChart. Here you can contact your child’s pediatrician as well as access certain portions of their medical record. Families need to call or come by the office to receive an activation letter, which is required to access this free service.
Do you have any subspecialties?
All of our pediatricians are board-certified in pediatrics. This means all of our physicians have significant training in just pediatrics and are equipped to handle a wide range of common pediatric illnesses as well as routine well care. We do not have any subspecialists in the office but refer to both Children’s Hospital of Colorado and Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children subspecialists when necessary. We also do not have any advanced practice providers (PAs and NPs). You will see a pediatrician at every visit.
Do you have experience caring for patients with special needs?
Each of our physicians has experience caring for children with special healthcare needs. This includes prematurity, developmental delays, autism, learning disabilities and other medical conditions. We also collaborate with subspecialists when needed in caring for our special needs patients.
What is your philosophy on vaccines?
Children’s Medical Center recommends following the CDC vaccine schedule.
What is your philosophy on antibiotics?
We follow the AAP’s stance on antibiotic stewardship. Our goal is to prevent overuse of antibiotics, which contributes to antibiotic resistance. Antibiotics are used when necessary and avoided when possible.
What type of procedures do you do in the office?
Some of the procedures we can do in the office include attending to minor wounds, reducing Nursemaid’s elbows, draining small abscesses, irrigating ear wax, removing nasal and ear foreign bodies, performing urinary catheterizations, and freezing warts.
Which hospitals are you affiliated with?
We round on newborns at both Rose Medical Center and St. Joseph Hospital. We are also on staff at Children’s Hospital of Colorado.
Do you have breastfeeding support?
Yes, we have a lactation nurse in the office that can come into visits if our breast feeding mothers need some extra support.
Do you have sick and well waiting areas?
Yes, we have separate areas for sick and well in the waiting room.
Insurance
We accept most insurance. However, before your first visit, please check with our office to make sure we are a participating provider. Visit our page on Exchange Plans we participate with.
Forms
For your convenience, many of our forms are available to download and complete before your office visit. New Patient forms are listed in the Patient Information Section. Parents who come in with these forms completed generally are able to reduce time in the waiting room and in the office.
