Testimonials
We love Dr. Mary! She works hard to help kids feel comfortable and is a skilled clinician. None else spends 30+ minutes in a well child checkup!
I have been taking my son to see these amazing providers for 5 years (the first year I met Jen at a different practice). I will never take my son to another provider so long as Jen lives and works in Colorado! Always informative and kind, and never gives me a hard time about my new mom worries. I would recommend this practice for your family every time.
I am so glad I decided to bring my son to integrative paediatrics. They are very friendly and knowledgable and always available to answer my questions no matter the time of day. It’s so refreshing to find a practice that is truly child centred and practices a holistic approach.
