Pediatric Care
Comprehensive Pediatric Family Medicine

Urgent Care Visits Designed for Children
Is it after regular office hours and your child has developed a sudden high fever? Has your child unfortunately suffered a broken bone or a significant sprain? Perhaps they are experiencing a severe cough or persistent vomiting, and an immediate appointment with your regular family medicine doctor is unavailable. Or maybe a concerning rash has suddenly appeared and is rapidly spreading. As every parent knows, these and many other non-life-threatening but urgent health issues can arise unexpectedly and without any warning. Rest assured, Founders Family Medicine is here to provide immediate assistance and expert care for your child when you need it most!
When sudden illness or injury strikes your child, come directly to our conveniently located urgent care clinic in Castle Rock. We are open 7 days a week, offering extended hours to promptly address your child’s urgent healthcare needs, providing peace of mind and expert medical attention when you need it most.
Seasonal Allergies
Whether you are an adult or a child, seasonal allergies can significantly impact your quality of life. In Colorado, grass allergies are particularly prevalent during the summer months. Summer can also bring increased exposure to tumbleweed and sagebrush, common allergy triggers. Allergies triggered by weeds typically peak during the fall season, with ragweed being a primary culprit in Colorado. Whether you or your family members suffer from allergies year-round or just seasonally, Founders Family Medicine can provide effective relief and long-term management strategies. Founders Family Medicine offers skilled and compassionate allergy care for patients of all ages. Our experienced healthcare team provides personalized care to thoroughly address your specific allergy concerns and triggers. We firmly believe that family medicine fosters a strong and ongoing relationship with your healthcare provider, which is invaluable in managing chronic conditions like seasonal allergies more effectively and proactively.
Sinus Infections
For a mild sinus infection, often, dedicated medical treatment may not be immediately necessary. The uncomfortable symptoms of a sinus infection can often be effectively managed with adequate rest, appropriate over-the-counter medications, consistent use of nasal saline sprays to keep nasal passages moist, and maintaining proper hydration by drinking plenty of fluids.
However, for a more severe sinus infection, it is important to seek professional medical care at our urgent care clinic. Persistent or worsening symptoms could indicate a bacterial sinus infection, which may require prescription medication, such as antibiotics, to effectively resolve. If you are experiencing significant difficulty breathing or severe sinus pain, Founders Family Medicine offers comprehensive solutions to help clear your sinuses and alleviate your symptoms, ensuring you can breathe easier and recover quickly.
Strep Throat
Initially, strep throat can feel very similar to any other common sore throat. However, strep throat typically distinguishes itself rather quickly with specific symptoms. Unlike the common cold, strep throat usually does not cause symptoms such as a cough, runny nose, or sneezing. Typical symptoms of strep throat may include a sudden fever, significant throat pain (especially when swallowing), visibly swollen or red tonsils, and the appearance of small red spots on the roof of the mouth (palate). If you or your child are experiencing any of these characteristic strep throat symptoms, or if you are concerned that you might have strep throat, avoid long waits in a crowded emergency room and come directly to Founders Family Medicine. Let our experienced medical team provide prompt and effective care to quickly diagnose and treat your strep throat, getting you back to feeling better sooner.
Arthritis
Arthritis symptoms can manifest in patients across all age groups. However, arthritis is more commonly diagnosed in older adults, and the associated symptoms typically become progressively more severe with advancing age. While numerous conditions fall under the umbrella term of arthritis, the most prevalent types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is characterized by the gradual breakdown and deterioration of joint cartilage. Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other hand, is an autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the tissues lining the joints.
Founders Family Medicine provides comprehensive diagnosis and ongoing management of various forms of arthritis in our state-of-the-art healthcare clinic located in Castle Rock. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and discuss your arthritis care needs with our experienced physicians.
Hypertension and Obesity
According to extensive research studies, a significant majority, nearly two-thirds, of individuals struggling with obesity are also at an elevated risk of developing hypertension (high blood pressure). Weight loss is a critically important factor in effectively managing hypertension that is related to obesity. Even modest weight loss can lead to a noticeable and beneficial reduction in blood pressure levels. Early medical intervention is essential to mitigate potential long-term cardiovascular risks in patients who are obese and also have hypertension. It is also vital to develop a comprehensive and personalized strategy for managing obesity and reducing associated long-term cardiovascular health risks. Obesity itself can also lead to numerous other serious and detrimental long-term health consequences beyond hypertension.
If you are currently struggling with chronic obesity and/or have been diagnosed with hypertension, or are concerned about your risk, please visit Founders Family Medicine. We offer compassionate and effective treatment programs specifically designed for patients who are overweight or obese. We understand that obesity is a complex health issue influenced by numerous factors beyond individual choices. Factors such as family history and genetics, levels of physical activity, environmental influences, and dietary habits can all significantly affect the prevalence of obesity.
Come to Founders Family Medicine for the compassionate, comprehensive, and personalized healthcare that you and your family deserve.
Diabetes
The underlying causes of diabetes can vary depending on the specific type of diabetes. However, regardless of the type of diabetes an individual has, all forms result in elevated blood sugar levels. Excessively high levels of sugar circulating in the bloodstream can lead to a range of serious health complications over time if not properly managed.
Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes are both chronic, long-term forms of diabetes that require ongoing management. Prediabetes and gestational diabetes, however, are potentially reversible conditions. Prediabetes is characterized by blood sugar levels that are higher than normal but do not yet meet the diagnostic criteria for full diabetes. Prediabetes can progress to Type 2 diabetes if proactive preventive measures are not implemented. A simple fasting blood glucose test can effectively determine if you have diabetes or are at risk of developing diabetes in the future.
If you are concerned that you or a member of your family may have, or be at risk for developing, diabetes, please visit Founders Family Medicine healthcare clinic so we can provide expert evaluation and guidance. We offer a holistic and patient-centered approach to treating diabetes, which may include weight management strategies if needed, personalized nutrition counseling, lifestyle education and modifications, and medication management as necessary to effectively control blood sugar levels and minimize long-term health risks.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is Urgent Care the Right Choice for Me?
- Need medical care within 24 hours for a non-life-threatening condition? Urgent care is the ideal choice.
- If your medical situation is not life-threatening but requires prompt attention, Founders Family Medicine Urgent Care is readily available to help.
- Urgent Care serves as a valuable resource when you need immediate medical attention for non-emergency conditions but cannot schedule an immediate appointment with your primary care physician. However, Urgent Care is not intended to be a substitute for the comprehensive and ongoing care provided by your primary care physician. If you are unable to see your doctor promptly, or if you have sustained a burn, sprain, or fracture that needs to be evaluated and treated right away, choose Founders Family Medicine Urgent Care for more efficient, quicker, and typically less expensive care compared to a hospital emergency room.
Do I Need to Schedule an Appointment for Urgent Care?
While appointments are not strictly necessary for Urgent Care, we highly recommend calling ahead if possible. Founders Family Medicine intentionally reserves appointment slots in our daily schedule specifically for our urgent care patients to minimize wait times and ensure prompt attention. However, if calling ahead is not feasible, walk-in patients in need of urgent medical care are always welcome and will be seen as quickly as possible.
What is the Typical Wait Time to Be Seen in Urgent Care?
At Founders Family Medicine Urgent Care, our goal is to ensure that patients are promptly seen and treated efficiently. Patients are typically evaluated and begin receiving treatment within approximately one hour of arrival. However, wait times may occasionally vary depending on factors such as the number of patients currently at the urgent care center and the complexity of the injuries or illnesses being treated at any given time. If your care requires diagnostic tests such as on-site x-rays or laboratory blood work, it may require additional time to complete the testing and receive results.

What Measures are Founders Family Medicine Taking to Protect Patients and Families During the Ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic?
Founders Family Medicine remains fully committed to prioritizing the health and safety of our patients, families, and staff throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. All patients are carefully screened for any potential COVID-19 symptoms and possible recent exposures upon arrival at our clinic. Telehealth audio-visual appointments are readily available for patients who are feeling unwell or prefer to be seen virtually from home. In-person examinations are conducted on-site as deemed medically necessary by our experienced medical team, following strict safety protocols. Convenient parking lot COVID-19 testing is also available for patients when needed.
For patients who may have limited access to telehealth technology due to ongoing national emergency circumstances, phone appointments can be offered in specific situations to ensure continued access to medical care.
While masks are currently optional and not mandatory within our facility, we continue to strongly encourage mask-wearing for all patients and visitors as an added precaution. All surfaces and common areas throughout our clinic are meticulously and regularly disinfected multiple times daily to minimize any potential risk of COVID-19 transmission for our patients, staff, and healthcare providers. Routine and preventive healthcare services are currently being provided in-person at our clinic. However, our operational status and service delivery model remain adaptable and could potentially shift back to a fully remote format if COVID-19 case levels in the local community were to significantly increase and warrant such a change to protect public health.
