Coronavirus Updates
Normal life looks a lot different these days, especially in healthcare. But there is one thing that hasn’t changed at Children’s Colorado: Your child’s health and safety are our highest priority. Kids need great pediatric care as much now as ever, and it’s for that reason that we’re reactivating services we temporarily suspended due to the pandemic. We are here to deliver safe, thoughtful, high-quality care for kids who need it. Learn what to expect – and all the ways we’re keeping patients safe.
For ongoing updates, a list of open locations and how to get care virtually or in person, please see our coronavirus resources for parents and resources for healthcare professionals. For questions about visiting our locations, such as face covering requirements, inpatient visitation and outpatient appointments, please see our visitation policies.

My care philosophy
I feel fortunate to be able to help patients with otologic disease in clinic and, when needed, with surgery. I aim to provide patients with a thorough understanding of their disease and the options available for treatment. Doing so allows us then to work as a team in making health care decisions that will be best aligned with each patient's goals and beliefs.Get to know Samuel Gubbels, MD
