Amanda was Amazing! We just moved to another... state, and with that goes all the fun of transferring medical records to our new pediatrician. There were a few issues, but nothing Amanda couldn’t figure out and fix! She took a heavy load off my shoulders. Thank you Amanda!This interaction is just one of all the good interactions that we’ve had with this office. If I could pick up this building and everyone in it and move them to Oklahoma with us, our son would be delighted to see all of you again. I’m going to miss your office, your friendly faces, and all the kindest we received here.read more

Dr. Gabby far surpassed any expectations we had... coming into our appointment. It started when Gabby asked if we had any questions and my wife said "I have a few questions but they aren't that important." Gabby responded: "If they are your questions, then they are absolutely important." Dr. Gabby then proceeded to patiently talk with us for at least half an hour. It was a level of doctor care that I thought didn't exist anymore in our modern world. We didn't feel rushed and Gabby made us feel so comfortable as we discussed complicated issues regarding vaccines and taking care of our baby. I came to the clinic on the defensive and prepared to push back if any decisions were forced on us, but that ended up not being necessary. Our respect for Partners in Pediatrics has grown and we are looking forward to more visits with Dr. Gabby as we raise our baby girl!read more

We have been with partners in pediatrics for... about three years now. We love them so much that we still commute a 2 hour drive to get there so that my kiddo doesn't have to change doctors because she is in the best hands there. Stephanie as been our main doctor for the most part and I genuinely look forward to our visits. They take great care of the kids and caregiversread more

I really wanted to love this place because my... family's gone here for years. I even remember going here as a kid years ago and was pretty excited to bring my daughter here. I didn't have a horrible experience but I felt as though I was being treated ignorant by a few providers. In a couple of visits the providers weren't even addressing me they were addressing a friend that tagged along to the appointment. It could have been that I was first time mom or that I had less than flattering circumstances in my personal life. I just wish I was treated more like a capable parent. I did have a good experience with Jimmy and Nancy though!read more

I have been bringing my son here since he was... born. We moved out of state for a year and a half and lamented we couldn't find a pediatrician like them near us. One of the huge perks when we moved back was we get to return, this time with another child to boot. They take very good care of both our children. They have seen them through all the baby and toddler stages and now into childhood. I wouldn't dream of taking my kids elsewhere. We don't live extremely close, but I make the drive work because of them. They speak to my children in words they can understand and always treat us parents with respect. When my son had emergency appendectomy as one of the youngest in Colorado to do so, they followed up on him and our family and it's something you don't forget. They aren't quick to overmedicate and the book they give to all new patients, my kids 2 were raised by and alleviated so many new parent concerns. They really care about their patients wholly and it shows. I was worried when the founder announced his retirement as we had so much trust in him, but I have seen absolutely no decline in their programs or care.read more

I’m so happy that I did a little research and... found this practice before my son was born. I love that PIP supports homeopathic, herbal and natural remedies approach. I was able to get my baby back in healthy state without the use of antibiotics or other drugs many times. Dr. Rubin is our favorite! We trust his experience and love all the Mickey Mouse clothes and shoes he wears :) Although all the doctors and PAs and MAs and great. The book the practice gives you during the first appointment is a life saver! It’s a “first time parent” Bible! I also really like the binder they give you as well, so I can keep all the well visits pages in there for my records.The front desk lady at Jasmine office is so delightful, always smiling and provides amazing customer service. There were so many times when my child was sick, and I called at 8 am and was able to come in within an hour or two. PIP will let you split the immunizations in several visits if you have concerns (it was very important to me since I did not want to give my kid 3-5 shots at the same time) When my insurance changed, we had no issues. This practice accepts a lot of insurance plans including Medicaid. Just one recommendation for PIP: please, give the parents NEXT well visit questionnaire in advance. This way we know what activities to do with the child in order to answer all the questions correctly. It will help many children and many parents. My son had “developmental delays” written down in his health appraisal form at 12-month visit because I did not know how to answer half of the questions. We have 15-month visit next week, and now I have my questionnaire ready! We did all the activities described, and I think he is quite advanced for his age! I hope this practice continues supporting “Naturally healthy kids” approach and thrives!read more

I love this practice. The doctors and PAs take a... lot of time with my kids. I never feel rushed. I love all the questions they ask them at their annual visit, making sure the "whole" child is well. The front desk is extremely responsive and helpful. I even had one of the doctors follow up himself after he examined my daughter for mysterious stomach issues. I can't say enough good things about this practice.read more

My daughter has been coming here since she was a... year old. Even though I now live across town (instead of a few blocks away) I still bring her here. They're friendly , proactive and follow through. I rarely have questions or concerns but when I do they LISTEN without condescension, something rare in many doctors.I've had to have forms filled out multiple times because the school wont take it on the daycares' letterhead and vise versa. They are always patient (cant say the same for myself ;-}) and respond quickly. #HowItShoulBeDoneread more

Both my sons saw multiple doctors here. All the... doctors nurses and staff were wonderful, didn't just do the job but we're friendly and nice and informative. Every appointment you would get a little pamphlet with your child's growth stats and shot info. The developmental milestones evaluation was more than thorough and helped keep me as a parent informed. We recentlyoved out of state and I miss this office. If my son's son' to have a wet or dirty diaper the doctors even offered wipes or diapers if needed.read more

We moved to Denver when my daughter was a few... months old, and PiP made the transition easy. The staff is kind and caring. They take the time to discuss and answer any questions. I like their holistic approach. They are experts in their field but support you as a parent in making decisions for your child, such as when I did Baby Led Weaning. We especially love Dr. Emily!read more

We love this practice! We had left our old after... multiple bad experiences. I knew my son was sick and needed medical help. I had no idea it was strep throat but they checked him and sure enough he tested positive.His old practice said there was no way he could have strep since he eating plus was 2 and under. Trust your gut parents and if you feel like your family is cycling through the same thing or something more going on, see another doctor. I’m so thankful they took the time her to check to see what was really going on with my son. We’ve been back a couple times since and you can tell they really care. They are open to delayed vaccination schedules and other holistic approaches.You get a sweet book when you join with health guidance etc. They are open on certain Saturdays too!read more

We been patients at Partners In Pediatrics for... about eight years now. We’ve never had a provider that we didn’t like there! Everybody is so incredibly pleasant to work with, from the nurses, to the office staff, to the billing department, to the doctors. As a parent, they make me feel involved in my children’s care. They always have time for questions, for explanations and for coming up with the care plan that everybody is happy with. I drive 40 minutes to get there, and it is worth it every time. Thanks for providing such a great experience all around!read more

We love this pediatrician office. We've seen... several of the providers here and have never had a bad experience. I always feel listened to and never rushed. I always get all my questions answered and have always been able to schedule same day appointments when concerned about a possible ear infection or cold. Plus this establishment supports parent choice and has been very accommodating in our delayed vaccination schedule.read more

We are so happy we found PIP! They came to the... hospital when our baby was born and we immediately loved the doctors we met while in post partum. Once we got to the office for his 2-5 day visit we met our Nurse Practitioner Lauren who we love working with and is the biggest help to me as a new mom! We also met a doctor Jerry who is amazing! Love that it's a group practice to where we can meet new doctors if Lauren is unavailable but love being able to schedule exclusively with her for our future appointments! Very happy we found this place to care for our precious little guy!read more

My family and I moved to the Montclair... neighborhood from another part of town, and we were reluctant to switch pediatricians. Finally we decided that the drive to our children's original Doctors' office was just too far, and we started coming to PIP instead. I wish we had switched sooner. We've been able to get in without any issues, and have never had to wait more than 5 minutes after our appointment time to get in. I love the book they have made for all of their patients' families, and love that they offer both Western and holistic treatments. We are fortunate to have found this practice.read more
