Pediatrician for Denver's Highlands, Berkeley, Regis, Sunnyside & RiNo Neighborhoods

Finding the right pediatrician shouldn't mean settling for a rushed, impersonal clinic close to home. Mount Meeker Pediatrics is based in Thornton, CO, just up I-25 from Denver's northwest side, and welcomes families throughout the Highlands, Berkeley, Regis, Sunnyside, and RiNo neighborhoods. Most of these communities are a straightforward 15–25 minute drive from our office, making it easy to fit same-day sick visits, well checks, and specialized pediatric care into even the busiest city schedule.

Dr. Priya Dokken and our team built this practice around relationships, not rushed appointments. Whatever Denver neighborhood you call home, you'll get the same flexible scheduling, direct text access to your pediatrician, and unhurried visits that make Mount Meeker Pediatrics different.

Why Denver Families Choose Mount Meeker Pediatrics

• Same-day sick visits — when your child wakes up with a fever, you shouldn't have to wait a week for an appointment.
• Direct text messaging with your pediatrician for quick questions between visits.
• Telehealth video visits for families who can't make the drive in, or just need a quick check-in.
• Newborn care that starts in the hospital and continues as part of your ongoing pediatric team.
• Lactation consultation support from a board-certified pediatrician who is also a certified lactation consultant.
• A small, relationship-first practice — your child sees a pediatrician who knows their history, not a rotating cast of providers.

Our office sits just off I-25, making it a direct shot down the highway for families coming from Denver's northwest side.

Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5pm | Saturday by appointment

RiNo is the closest of our Denver neighborhoods, sitting right off I-25 and I-70 just north of downtown. As more young families put down roots among RiNo's lofts and renovated warehouses, Mount Meeker Pediatrics offers the personal, unhurried care that's harder to find in a fast-growing, fast-paced neighborhood.

Highlands families — from the bungalows of West Highland to the rooftop patios of LoHi — are typically a 15–20 minute drive from our Thornton office via I-25. It's a neighborhood full of young families, and we're proud to be their pediatric home base.

Sunnyside has become one of Denver's fastest-changing neighborhoods, with new families moving in every year. Mount Meeker Pediatrics offers the newborn care and lactation support many Sunnyside parents are looking for as they settle in.

Berkeley's tree-lined streets and proximity to Rocky Mountain Lake Park make it one of northwest Denver's most family-friendly neighborhoods. Families here drive about 20 minutes to reach our Thornton office for well-child visits and behavioral health support.

Regis families, many near Regis University and Chaffee Park, choose Mount Meeker Pediatrics for a genuinely small, relationship-based alternative to larger clinics — including specialized care like ADHD evaluations and chronic condition management.
