Emergency and urgent care locations

If you're concerned that you or your child may have been exposed to COVID-19, please do NOT visit an emergency or urgent care location. Instead, call your doctor or our free ParentSmart Healthline at 720-777-0123 for guidance.

In life-threatening emergencies, find the emergency room location nearest you. For non-life-threatening medical needs when your pediatrician is unavailable, visit one of our urgent care locations.

For Patients:
My research interests include neonatal neurology, more specifically neonatal seizures and neonatal epilepsy. I am interested in neuro-developmental outcomes after seizures in the neonatal period, including early predictors of outcome and the role of EEG in assisting with prognosis. I am also interested new-onset refractory status epilepticus, specifically febrile infection related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES). This is a rare condition, although devastating for the children affected, and I hope that through multi-center collaboration we can improve the recognition, treatment, and outcomes for children with FIRES.
