Both of my kids have been going to Focus On Kids Pediatrics for the past eight years, and I can't speak highly enough of the care we've received. The entire team--from the front desk to the doctors--has always shown incredible bedside manner, patience, and genuine care for my children's well-being. They've gone above and beyond more than once, especially when unexpected situations pop up. They always do what they can to get us in quickly, which as a parent, brings so much peace of mind. If you're looking for a new pediatrician for your kids, I absolutely recommend Focus On Kids. You'll feel heard, supported, and most importantly, your kids will be in great hands. read more

Dr. Hudson is wonderful! She met with us in advance of our daughter's birth and she really listened to us and took note of the things we discussed. She has been taking care of our daughter since her birth and we appreciate how, kind, helpful, and low pressure she is. Our appointments are never rushed and she always actively listens to our questions and/or concerns, which is so rare in healthcare these days. Highly recommend her! read more

We have been with FOK since just before our son was born. They were advocating for him as their patient before he was even on this earth! They are incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and all-around professional practitioners. Everyone in the practice has been incredible, and we are lucky to call them our pediatricians! read more

I have no objections to the quality of care. However , the office experience is less the acceptable. It's is very difficult to get appoints for sick children or make appointments in general. . Additionally, my child suffered a fall at school and I wanted to make an appointment for her to be looked at and was told there were no openings. I would expect our primary care physician to make room for this type of appointment. As it turns out she had suffered a fractured nose. I had another child hurt her foot(resulting in stitches) and they couldn't make time to see her. Lastly we had a kiddo that fell skiing and needed her knee evaluated again could not get a timely appointment. If you need anything else but routine annual exams, I would suggest you look elsewhere. read more

We have been seeing Dr. Murphy for 11 years for my three kiddos. We have loved the partnership we have felt with this practice. Dr. Murphy is an excellent doctor. She caught an issue with my one week old son that the hospital missed. My son is now healthy because of Dr. Murphy's care and knowledge. Our visits with her are comprehensive, thoughtful, and very complete. Whenever I have a question, I get a quick response. When my kids get sick, FOK always gets them in to be seen quickly. We are so thankful for FOK and Dr. Murphy. read more

I've been bringing my three kids here since they were born. Dr. Frand is brilliant like House, minus the cr@ppy personality. He's an East Coaster, which means he's direct and very funny. But, I know East Coast personalities can rub some people the wrong way because I'm an East Coaster! He genuinely cares about your kids and you as a parent. Okay Dr. Kania is fantastic. Like Frand, she's practical and doesn't overprescribe tests or medications. She's also brilliant and very approachable and you feel like a true partner in your child's care. I have less experience with Dr. Murphy, but I do have friends that always see her and rave about her. In my experience, she tends to order more tests than the other two. For some parents, this would provide peace of mind. The office is relatively new and in my daughter's words has decor that is depressing. It's stark with lots of grey, no pops of color, and sad decals decorating the walls. But, decor doesn't help get to the bottom of a fever, and is obviously easily remedied. Pick the doctor with the style that best suits your personality and feel confident knowing your babies are in the best hands with whichever doc you choose. read more

Focus On Kids Pediatrics - Waiting room - Pediatricians Near Me - Littleton, Colorado

We LOVE Dr. Kania. We have also seen other members of the team and they have all been fantastic. Today, we are taking my two year old for her well visit and realized I had never written a review and just had to. We started out my daughter's life with another practice that was a terrible fit for us; alarmist, judgmental--they quite literally scared my husband and I. We have experienced the total opposite with Dr. Kania and Focus on Kids. She listens, she explains and most importantly, she understands. I recommend this practice to anyone who asks. Thank you Dr. Kania and Focus on Kids. We look forward to our daughter and possible future child growing up with you. read more

We are so happy with Focus on Kids - everything about this practice has exceeded our expectations! We found Dr Kania before our son was born in 2022 and the team at Focus has been the most reliable, accessible, caring medical team I've ever encountered. The front desk staff is wonderful - helpful, attentive and kind. We have seen every physician and most PAs at the practice and we have been really happy with everyone we've seen. We feel like they take the time to really understand what's going on, they listen to our questions and truly care about making the right decision for our child. We have never felt rushed at appointments, wait times have always been reasonable, and communication with our providers has been easy especially with the patient portal. We really can't say enough good things about our doctor and this whole practice. We tell everyone how lucky we are to have found them! read more

My family has been seeing Dr. Murphy for 3.5 years and I am incredibly happy with the care we have received. I have always felt heard and understood and Dr. Murphy always takes the time to answer all my concerns and explain things to me thoroughly. We have seen Dr. Murphy for all sorts of issues and her guidance has always been excellent. When we don't see Dr. Murphy I have had great experience with all the staff and always leave feeling confident in the care we received. I definitely recommend this practice! read more

Called to schedule an appointment for my daughter but because we have a different philosophy and belief system than this practice has, they won't see us as new patients. How very tolerant of them! read more

Wonderful TEAM! They have taken care of our 8 year old since he was little. Highly recommend them. Very responsive, even the after hour staff has always been there to put my wife and me at ease. read more

Dr Frand and all those at Focus on Kids are AMAZING! We moved to Littleton when my children were 4 and 6 years old, my oldest is now in college. My children love Dr Frand as do I. I think my son would describe Dr Frand as one of his buddies. So grateful for all these years of care. read more

We love Dr Frand and this whole office. He takes the time to listen to my son and me and respond thoughtfully to our concerns. This is super rare and we appreciate that we are treated with such respect and consideration. True and sincere great bedside manner. He is particularly attuned to the challenges of ADHD. The office is also well run, organized and friendly! read more

The best, the best, the best! Dr. Kania and Kelly are the DREAM TEAM! I feel so fortunate to have such intelligent, compassionate and invested providers for my kiddos. Dr. Kania has been all three of my kiddo's pediatrician going on 5 years and they all adore her...and, visa versa. ;) She is sincere, authentic, and I trust her beyond measure. Kelly her MA, is so personable and a joy to visit with. The entire office staff treats us like we are the only family they see; the care is personal and attentive. Couldn't recommend them more! read more

I have taken my children to see Dr. Jennifer Murphy for 20 years. She is absolutely fantastic! During this time I have found her to be competent, caring and compassionate. In addition, she LISTENS. We can have respectful dialogue and problem solve accordingly in order to best serve the needs of MY children. Being a mother herself, she understand that with medical care for children "one size does not fit all." She is responsive, approachable, great with the kids, and her follow through is truly impressive. I would recommend Dr. Murphy without hesitation. read more

Dr Frand is our primary doctor. He is knowledgeable, caring and I love the way he speaks with my children. All the staff are beyond great read more

This will probably be my all time favorite pediatrician. Originally we had chosen to go with Dr Kania for our newborn as she was referred by a friend but Dr Frand was the doctor on call for hospital rounds the whole time we were there. My son had jaundice so we saw him frequently in those first few days post hospital. He ended up doing his circumcision once he was healthy and we fell in love with him and he became our pediatrician. He ended up being on call for our 2nd born so both of my children grew up with doctor frand and we just love him so much. He is so thorough, really truly cares and it is evident. We've never felt rushed and always felt at home at this practice from start to finish. Even when we don't see Dr Frand on sick days, Kania and all of the PA's are amazing and take such good care of you. Unfortunately we have moved out of state and I'm so bummed to have to move on from this practice. We are seeing one of the best in our city and it doesn't even come close. Thank you Focus on Kids!! read more

We moved to LIttleton a couple of years ago and needed to find a pediatric physician that was closer to home. On the recommendation of a friend whose husband is a neurosurgeon, I decided to give Dr. Murphy a try. I felt like it was probably a solid referral if a doctor had his own children go to her. We had our first appointment last week and I was shocked at how much more thorough she was than the last pediatrician we were seeing in Denver. I truly feel that Dr. Murphy would find if something was wrong with my seemingly healthy child. I am so happy that we decided to make the move and believe we are in much better hands. I will say, we don't have any sort of medical complications or conditions, so I cannot speak to someone who has specific concerns. read more

I love Focus on Kids, to the point that when our insurance briefly changed a couple years ago, I chose to pay out of pocket for our kids' well checks, only going to another office for immunizations. The waiting area is very kid-friendly and my boys love checking out the fish and looking at whatever new window mural has been painted. And, of course, stickers after their appointments. We've been bringing our three kids here for almost four years and we simply adore Dr. Kania. She listens when we have concerns, occasionally asks for follow up on my other kids when it's not their appointment (if there's been a concern about anything), and even called me after hours on a Friday so that I would have results from a procedure my baby girl received, rather than make me wait until Monday morning. She is pro-breastfeeding and has never given me a hard time about nursing past one year or insisted on sleep-training. Love her! We've seen the other two pediatricians there only a couple times. Dr. Frand saw us at the end of the day when my daughter broke out in hives, reacting to an antibiotic, and was wonderful. He listened, gave me straight information, and didn't brush off my concerns. He also didn't even blink when he came in the room and I was nursing her. ;) We were not impressed with Dr. Murphy and haven't seen her since our second child was born (Dr. Kania was unavailable for his newborn stuff). She was friendly enough until she learned that he was born at home (intentionally); her bedside manner became frigid, almost rude. That deteriorated even more when we told her we were bed-sharing. This was about 3.5 years ago. So, aside from her, we love just about everything about Focus on Kids! read more

We've been seeing Dr. Murphy for several months, new to CO... she's just a good soul. We've had many different pediatric drs throughout the years and Dr. Murphy probably provides the most comfortable experience my children have had. They both struggle with certain mental health challenges, including social situations but Dr. Murphy has never made them feel anxious or uncomfortable. As a parent, I appreciate her approach, personality and willingness to listen and give information that fits our various understanding. We've had an easy and efficient time getting all referral's we've needed and the staff has always been available and efficient in helping bridge communication when it's been necessary. The staff at FOK are kind, calm and inviting. You definitely feel a high level of care and empathy throughout the office. And we care and appreciate all of them. read more

My husband and I really enjoyed meeting Dr. Frand and thought he was very thorough. After our first appointment with him he asked us to come back in a week for a weight check because our son wasn't gaining weight properly. We came back a week later and we were charged over $80 for a weight check. With our last pediatrician weight checks were free. When I asked about the charge, and why it was so high, I was told that was actually a discounted rate. We decided to leave this practice because of the charge and when I asked for our records they told me there was a fee for that. After repeatedly letting the office staff know that the medical records are legally mine and I can not be charged for them they gave them to me. We are sad to leave Dr. Frand but happy that we will no longer be nickeled and dimed for our sons medical care. read more

I have taken Munchkin to Focus on Kids from the time he first left the hospital, oxygen attached, to just recently when he limped around because of "hip" pain (which actually turned out to be abdominal issues). The front desk staff has always been warm and friendly. All the great doctors that practice here, accompanied by great nursing staff, have seen my little one through his first four years and I wouldn't have it any other way. I certainly will continue (as needed, and hopefully for routine visits only!) to hold my little one's hand as we take the elevator to the second floor where you'll find this lovely little pediatricians' office. read more

My husband and I are two new parents, we had planned to interview several pediatricians but after our scheduled meet and greet with Dr. Frand we no longer felt the need to look further. We appreciated his honesty, humor and candor of what we needed to know about caring for a newborn, he provided handouts which we appreciated and didn't bat an eye when our daughter accidentally pooped on the floor on the first visit! We were mortified; he just laughed and stated "it happens". He has always made us feel welcome and has been very approachable when she has been sick, and answered questions into the night when he was on call. My husband and I come with a lot of questions, he answers them all patiently. We couldn't ask for a better pediatrician! The office staff have always been warm and welcoming and have always gotten us in very quickly when she was sick, we are very thankful! read more

I'm new in town and called to get a sick appointment on a Friday. I had called another Peds. Office in Denver and was told they weren't accepting new patients, I'm glad I called "Focus on Kids " next . The office staff was very friendly and polite , I was called for my appointment right on time ( even though I was the last appointment of the day ) The dr took his time with my son . He had a very high fever and I was worried that it wouldn't be serious to a dr but I knew he was not his usually toddler self . Dr Frand took his time , talked with me and was excellent with my child . I highly recommend them. I made sure to schedule our well visit before I left. Thanks Dr. read more

Dr. Frand is absolutely outstanding!! He is genuine and caring towards the kids he cares for. If you are looking for someone who obviously loves his job and makes parents feel at ease look no further!! read more

I highly recommend Focus on Kids for pediatric care. All the doctors and PA's are fantastic. Dr. Kania is truly remarkable. I could not ask for a better or more attentive doctor for my kids! read more

Dr. Kania was my pediatrician and once I had babies I knew I had to bring them to her. I have 3 kids and she is the most amazing pediatric doctor. She takes her time with my kids and answers everything I need to know. I would recommend her to anyone. I know my children are in great hands with her. read more

My daughters have seen Dr Kania for 16 years. We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kania and the rest of the staff at Focus on Kids. They are kind, knowledgable and make your child feel comfortable. Dr Kania has gone above and beyond for our family with follow-up and after-hours calls and care. read more

My children see Dr. Frand primarily and we couldn't be happier. My 5 month old was not feeling well on Sunday so I called the after-hours line and someone called me back within 30 minutes. On Monday, the doctors office called to check in and make sure my baby was doing ok. Great follow up and wonderful customer service from the front desk staff, nurses, and doctors. Highly recommend! read more

Dr Kania is funny, caring and thoughtful. On each visit she has been incredibly thorough in understanding how our children's health is progressing. She is also very careful about recommending other doctors when we need to see a specialist. The nurses and receptionists are very helpful as well. They are quick to assist in all cases from minor emergencies to filling out forms. read more

Love this place! The entire staff (admin, docs & nurses) are very friendly and kind. I love that they truly care for the kids and keep the kids best interests first. They take appropriate precautions when dealing with sick children and are not alarmists. They follow up with me after calling the 24 hour nurse desk to make sure our child is doing well. The doctors and nurses never make me feel silly or stupid for asking small questions. While out of town we needed to take our baby to a pediatrician while he was sick and after dealing with sub-par service and a doctor that appeared to not be well educated on anything related to breastfeeding and food sensitivities (as well as being a rude doctor); made me realize how lucky we are to get great, well informed service from Dr. Frand and the rest of the staff at Focus on Kids. We have been going to Focus on Kids for 3 years and wouldn't dream of switching. read more

We have been with Dr. Murphy since birth and love her! All of the staff is professional and friendly! The wait is usually short in the lobby with an occasional long wait in the exam room, but emergencies DO happen! read more

Don't go here. Dr. Murphy could not diagnose a rash on our 3 month old daughter's leg so she reported us to child protective services. It turned out to be sun rash. My husband tried to contact their office to discuss what happened and they did not respond. Eleven days later they write a letter saying they could no longer see our daughter. In addition, when our new pediatrician called Focus on Kids to obtain medical information on our daughter, they disclosed that we were reported to child services. This is a violation of our privacy!! We were treated poorly and unprofessionally. We are loving, caring, innocent parents who were wrongly accused. We will be telling everyone we know about this doctor and their practice. read more

I've taken my kids to Focus on Kids for 9 years. They have always gotten me in to see someone when my children are sick. I always feel like they are appropriately concerned but they aren't alarmists either. i feel very comfortable with placing my children's health under their care. read more

My children's pediatrician retired 3 years ago, we were in a panic. We had seen her since my oldest (14) was born and in my mind nobody was going to fully replace her. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Frand at Focus on Kids and he made transitioning to a new practice so much easier. We have been seeing him ever since and have not looked back. Between him and their office manager Jolene we are so well taken care of. One of my children recently had an eye issue and Jolene went out of her way to quickly get us in (as usual), and Dr. Frand was swift to call the eye doctor and even sat on hold with them for a good 30 minutes. All to ensure my son was getting the correct care. I have always felt my kids were well taken care of and have sent several people to this practice. Highly recommend this practice to anyone living in the area looking for stellar care for their children. read more

Let me preface that the star is based ONLY on Dr. Murphy. I took my nine month old in yesterday for a normal well-baby visit. To start my appointment off I waited for 45 minutes in the room with a tired and wiggly baby, and when she finally arrived she did not even acknowledge her tardiness. I was fine to brush this off, but it was just the start to our awful appointment. I was introduced to her transcriber who followed her into the room (not sure if this was for note purposes or something deeper). When examining my son, she asked me to hold him down on the table...this was odd to me because with both of my kids, doctors have always examined them in my lap (especially as babies). I did as I was told as she did her exam and my son began to wail. Eventually SHE DECIDED TO PICK UP MY CHILD! Never has ANYONE picked up my child without first asking so I said "let me hold him" and she told me "in a second." I cannot explain the furry I'm feeling just writing this. She handed him back, screaming and asked me to lay him down again. I did as I was told (I think out of shock because looking back I should've just packed up and left). He continued to wail as she checked his eyes, ears and mouth. Once she finished, she told me to pick him up and then said "he shouldn't be this upset at his age, that is something I'd expect out of a 15 month old." My comment back was "well you are a stranger, your hands were freezing, you had me hold him down and then picked him up without my consent." To which she said "It is the quickest most efficient way for to me to check him" I'm sorry, but in the world of pediatrics, shouldn't our foremost concern be the COMFORT of the kiddo??? Beyond this, she interrogated me about where my daughter was (this was not her appointment nor any of the doctor's business), made snide comments about the food I'd chosen to give my baby (I am happy to provide details of the food I VERY CAREFULLY PREPARE AND RESEARCH TO GIVE MY KIDS) and whether or not my husband and I had been to the doctor recently. Moral of the story is I will NEVER take my child to this doctor again. I would advise anyone looking for a nice, helpful pediatrician who actually LIKES kids to stay clear of this one. read more

Failure to communicate front office staff is rude & not always knowledgeable! They will make you wait longer then 45 minutes in a room with your sick child or children while they talk to one another or a pharmaceutical rep! Will make you fill out patient history forms (CHADIS) and charge your insurance company $80. To $90. Per form per child! They lack in compassion and have over the last 17 years become more focused on money then actual patient care! Disappointed to say this but I have suffered years of negligence and will no longer allow my children to be seen in their office! read more

Dr. Frand is the best pediatrician that I have ever encountered. He is kind, honest, and takes time to explain. I brought my son in for a rash and due to his excellent assessment Dr. Frand discovered an entirely different medical issue that I did not even know was occurring. Excellent medical care! read more

Both my girls (ages 2 1/2 a nd 5 1/2) have gone to Focus on Kids since birth. Dr. Jennifer Murphy is our pediatrician and she's fantastic. A mom herself, she understands the world of the working mom and shows compassion to the entire family unit. The care has always been excellent. We don't wait for appointments. This office is tremendously professional while also being warm. We feel completely comfortable here. The nursing staff and P.A.s are also great if you can't get in to see your MD. We feel so lucky to be with Focus on Kids! read more

We saw Dr. Frand for our daughter since she was born. Now at 10, the place is getting a bit sketchy. She had to get shots to get into middle school. Dr. Frand was very helpful in trying to get her over her fear of needles, but everything disappeared when the nurse came in. Not sweet, friendly nurses, big, nurses trying to scare the kids. The nurse said, and I quote, "Stop being such a baby, big kids get the big needles and they have to deal with it. " she sat on my small child while giving her many shots. She wasn't moving around or anything, she was incredibly calm. When we got home, I saw scratch marks running up my daughters arms and legs from this nurse. She had to get 2 shots but when we took the bandaids off, there was more than 15 needle marks in one small area. I asked Ava if the nurse poked her more than twice and she said yes, that she just kep taking the needle in a and out. I immediately called the facility where we spoke to that nurse and she hung up in the middle of the call. We still are going there even though the circumstances. Last visit, we saw that the nurse was still there and was trusted with the kids. I am still trying to switch pediatricians but they refuse to give me any kids of medical record. read more
