At Pediatric Pathways it is our collective belief that pediatrics truly encompasses the physical, psychological and social aspects of child care. Our aim is to participate with your family to give each child the opportunities to reach his or her maximum potential. Our goal is to provide quality patient care with an emphasis on prevention and anticipatory child guidance. To achieve this goal does indeed require a team approach involving our entire staff working in conjunction with your family. We are continually striving to improve our office efficiency and our approaches to patient care, and therefore, we sincerely appreciate any constructive suggestions that you might have.
Although we are trained and practice as traditional providers, we are open to complementary/alternative medicine. Pediatric Pathways works closely with the midwife community in Denver. We are STRONG advocates of breastfeeding. Even though we recommend following the AAP vaccine schedule, we are open to discussion of alternative vaccine choices. Our providers are conservative in the use of antibiotics and invasive tests.
We believe that Childhood Should Be A Journey...Not A Race and are here to facilitate your family's journey. In the growth from infant to adult, side trips occur: some are joyous, some are challenging, some are negative, a few are life threatening. Your instincts to love and care for your child are an excellent resource. Our experience and expertise are available for you to draw from as well.
The practice was started over 60 years ago by now retired pediatricians; Dr. Jim Arthur and Dr. Gordon Blakeman.
Adam Huff MD joined the practice in 1996, Sarah Taylor PA-C in 2001, Joe Marceny MD in 2002, Ashleigh Rigg PA-C in 2006 and Jaime Pingatore PA-C in 2013.
One of the strengths of our practice has been our close affiliation with The Children's Hospital and the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. All of our providers are members of the Clinical Faculty and are extremely active in this role. Our teaching of medical students, interns, residents, and PA students is a definite source of pride for our practice.
Pediatric Pathways has always been a "rotating" practice, which means that typically all patients see all providers. Because our practice is relatively small we all know all of the patients. This way when your child is sick, they will always see someone they know. The rotating practice helps us to be on time and decrease your wait time. However, it is fine to request a specific provider if you choose.
