Pediatrics

The Pediatrics team at Colorado Mountain Medical manages the health and wellness of infants, children and adolescents into young adulthood. Our specialists focus on physical, behavioral and mental health issues that children experience throughout their growing years. Pediatricians are integral in preventative medicine and education of the patient and family to ensure lifelong health. The pediatrics department uses integrative medicine approaches to diagnose, treat and prevent illness. Our Pediatrics team ensures children are meeting their milestones in behavior, growth and developmental skills.

Colorado Mountain Medical’s pediatricians work with Vail Health Howard Head Sports Medicine’s pediatric physical and occupational therapists to help children needing extra support reach their full potential and enjoy the activities they love.
