Choosing a doctor for your child is an important decision. The good news is that both pediatricians and family doctors are trained and experienced in caring for children. Whether you have a baby, a teen, or a child in between—you can count on either type of doctor.
Here are a few things to know about family doctors.
Comprehensive preventive care for children
Both family doctors and pediatricians provide preventative care, including:
- Well-child checkups
- Immunizations
- Sports and school physicals
- Developmental screenings
- Nutrition and growth guidance
- Treatment for common childhood illnesses and injuries
Care that fits your family’s needs
Seeing the same doctor as other family members has real benefits. Your doctor gets to know your family’s medical history and can spot health patterns that may affect your child. If specific health issues run in your family, it helps to have one doctor who knows the whole picture and can provide care for everyone.
No insurance? No problem.
Most health insurance plans—including Medicaid and CHIP—are accepted at Denver Harbor Family Health Center. But you don’t need insurance to be a patient.

Convenient for the whole family
Bringing your child to the same doctor you see can be easy and comforting. Family doctors care for people of all ages—from newborns to grandparents—so your whole family can get care in one place.
For busy families, it’s helpful to have one place close to home where everyone can go. You can schedule visits back-to-back. For example, a dad can talk to the doctor about his blood pressure before his daughter gets her school physical. A mom and her son with the same cold symptoms can be treated during the same visit.
Having a trusted center for the whole family makes things easier. You’ll know who to call, whether it’s a checkup, an unexpected illness, or help managing a long-term condition.
