Meet Our Kid Experts
The Kid Expert pediatricians and pediatric physician assistants at The Youth Clinic have been there for the families of Northern Colorado since our inception in 1964. For over 60 years, we’ve offered treatment for infants, children and young adults at our four locations spanning across Fort Collins and Loveland.
What makes The Youth Clinic such a special place is your child. The Youth Clinic is committed to making sure children grow up to lead happy and healthy lives. Whether your child is a newborn infant or a young adult, our pediatricians and pediatric physician assistants are specifically trained to treat and care for your children from infancy to adolescence. In addition to our primary care providers, The Youth Clinic also has a Pediatric Psychologist, Registered Dietitians, and Lactation Specialists – all available on site.
We offer an array of services that are unique to us, including:
Our classes and programs provide families with resources that go beyond traditional pediatric services, including Healthy Transitions class for young girls, Returning to Work and Breastfeeding for new mothers, and more.
Our pediatricians and pediatric advanced practice providers offer more than general pediatric services. Our team also includes specialists who support specific needs, including psychiatry, nutrition and dietetics, lactation, and more. We also collaborate with an occupational therapist to provide additional support for our patients and families.
From birth through young adulthood, we support your child at every stage with specialized services, classes, and programs designed for their growing needs.
Parents have access to a triage nurse by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for guidance when questions or concerns arise.

Our Culture
At The Youth Clinic, we believe it truly takes a village to make our community thrive. That’s why for 60 years our pediatricians and pediatric physician assistants have cared for generations of area youth and supported our Northern Colorado community through various sponsorships and initiatives. We love to give back and are proud to be a community partner, which is why we invest our time and resources with local groups focused on improving the lives of Northern Colorado youth.
