We are a six-provider office (three MDs, three PAs) caring for a broad range of general pediatric patients from newborns to 19 years old. We have a collaborating in-house behavioral health therapist serving our patients.
Our office deliberately sees lower patient volumes to enable a focus on delivery of thoughtful, high-quality, evidence-based pediatric care with a goal of long-term continuity. We have a friendly culture, and we do our best to take care of each other. Our well-child care style includes pro-vaccine policies.
Our practice is situated in a great location at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, just west of Denver, in a region with great support from pediatric specialists when needed.
Our office has a fantastic reputation with new patients joining the practice based on word-of-mouth referrals. Our patient population draws from a range of demographic backgrounds, with significant subpopulations of medically complex patients as well as children of highly educated international graduate students at local universities. (Candidates fluent in Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, or Hindi would have opportunities to use their language skills on occasion.)
Qualified candidates must be a graduate of an accredited Pediatric Residency program with a current Colorado Medical License. CPR and PALS certification is preferred.
Main job qualifications include a strong background in clinical pediatrics, high emotional intelligence, and a solid work ethic. A skilled and open collaborative approach to clinical work with colleague PAs and MDs is a must. New physicians are placed on a track toward potential partnership within a few years.
