Coronavirus Update
We are prepared and ready to treat patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, the condition caused by the coronavirus that first appeared in late 2019. Our clinical team has been specially trained on how to identify, isolate and treat patients with this and other contagious illnesses. However, for perspective, our bigger threat in the Rocky Mountain region is seasonal influenza – and it's not too late to get your flu vaccine. If you have questions, please contact your child's doctor or call our ParentSmart Healthline™ at 720-777-0123.

For Referring Providers:
My research interests are primarily focused on understanding how to improve the care of acutely ill neurological patients. I am developing new tools to evaluate patient's level of encephalopathy and neurological injury by advanced EEG techniques. I am also using large database technology to start understanding the variables that affect the outcomes of our patients with relatively rare diseases.
