AFTER HOURS PROTOCOL
If you have a medical emergency that cannot wait until our normal hours, please proceed to your nearest urgent care or emergency room.
Additionally our office has partnered with DispatchHealth. They provide excellent on-demand care in the comfort of your home from 8am-10pm, every day, including weekends. Please call them directly at 303-500-1518 or visit their website here. If you do not use insurance, they charge a reasonable flat fee for house calls which includes all tests and treatments they perform at the visit. They also bill most insurances if you choose to go that route.
Should your child have an urgent issue outside of business hours, we direct you to the First Call Line at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children. These nurses are pediatric nurses with extensive training who will help answer your concerns. The number is 303-563-3300.
If you have a medical question after hours, we direct you to the 24 hour nurse line affiliated with your insurance company. The web links to most are posted below. In addition, we have some great links to websites that have comprehensive answers to many of your questions. These include the website for the American Academy of Pediatrics new information center, www.healthychildren.org. There, you can either put your question into the search box or click on “Health Issues” to find answers to your questions. Another site with comprehensive information on a very broad range of subjects is from the University of Michigan, www.med.umich.edu.
