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.

My care philosophy

Every child should have a chance to "dream big" no matter what their heart looks like on the inside. I specialize in the care of children with severe forms of congenital heart disease - especially those with only one ventricle ("half a heart"). We focus on not only treating heart disease, but promoting wellness both at home and in school so kids can learn in the most appropriate environment. Every child should discover how to take appropriate risks and dream about their future.
