Pediatric care for Garden City families, from a family medicine practice
Garden City families are about 10 minutes from NOCO Healthcare, which makes us one of the closest places to bring a sick child on short notice. We are a family medicine practice, not a pediatric-only office, and that is the point: the nurse practitioner who sees your toddler for an ear infection is the same one who sees you for your physical. Kids get seen quickly, and the whole family gets one provider who knows them.
Well-child visits, immunizations, same-day sick appointments, and sports physicals, Monday through Friday.
Key points
- Newborns, children, and teens seen by a board-certified family nurse practitioner, about 10 minutes from Garden City.
- Same-day sick visits held each day; call in the morning.
- Well-child visits on the standard schedule and immunizations on the CDC schedule.
- School and sports physicals, asthma and allergy care, minor injuries.
- Medicaid, Medicare, and most major insurance accepted.
- Parents and grandparents are patients here too. One provider, one chart, whole family.
What we do for children, and what we are honest about
Our nurse practitioner is a family medicine provider, which means she is trained and certified to care for patients from birth through old age. We are not a pediatric specialty practice, and if your child ever needs one, we will say so and make the referral. What we are is a small, independent clinic where a Garden City family can get the everyday pediatric care they need from someone who knows the whole family. Parents who want to understand the distinction can read our plain-language comparison of pediatricians and family practice.
Newborn and infant care starts with a first visit that measures, examines, and answers questions. Well-child checks follow the usual schedule. Immunizations follow the CDC schedule. Sick visits for fevers, ear infections, strep, rashes, pink eye, coughs, and stomach bugs are seen the same day or the next day. Sports and school physicals are quick and easy to book.
For older kids and teens, we manage asthma, allergies, acne, injuries, and the growing-up questions that deserve a calm, private conversation. Everything lives in one chart, and the provider is the same at every visit.
When your child wakes up sick
Call us first. We hold same-day appointments for exactly this, and a person answers the phone. Fevers, ear infections, strep, pink eye, croup, rashes, stomach bugs, and minor injuries are the bread and butter of a family practice, and we see Garden City kids for them all week long. If a video visit will do the job, we will offer one so you can skip the drive. If the child needs to be examined, we will get you in.
We are not an emergency room. Trouble breathing, a child who cannot be woken normally, a serious injury, or a fever in a very young infant are reasons to go to the emergency department immediately. Call us afterward so we can follow up and keep your child’s chart current.
You know your child better than any chart does.
When you tell us something is off, we listen. Well visits here are long enough to actually ask your questions.
A note from Sheree
Family medicine means I get to watch children grow up. I see the newborn, then the kindergartner with strep, then the teenager with the sports physical, and one day the adult with kids of their own. There is no better way to practice medicine, and no better way to keep a family healthy.
Sheree Montoya, FNP-C, founder of NOCO Healthcare
Checkups that keep Garden City kids on track
Regular well-child visits track growth and development, cover immunizations on the CDC schedule, and give parents a standing appointment to raise concerns. We keep vaccine records in the chart and provide copies for school, daycare, and camps. Sports physicals and school physicals are booked as easily as a sick visit; see our sports physicals page for what to bring.
Because we see the parents too, we notice patterns a pediatric-only office cannot: the allergies that run in the family, the asthma that showed up in a sibling, the stress at home that is showing up in a teenager. That context makes better care.
Insurance, Medicaid, and cost
We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and most major insurance plans, and we welcome families on Health First Colorado. If your child is uninsured, ask about self-pay pricing when you call. Well-child visits and immunizations are covered as preventive care under most plans. We will tell you what to expect before the visit, not on a bill afterward.
The neighborhood family practice for Garden City
Garden City families can be at our door in about 10 minutes, which matters most on the mornings a child wakes up sick. The rest of the household is covered too: see our Garden City primary care and family medicine pages, and our virtual visit page for the days a video call is easier than a car seat.

Questions Garden City parents ask us
Is NOCO Healthcare a pediatrician in Garden City?
No. We are a family medicine practice in Greeley, and our provider is a board-certified family nurse practitioner who cares for children as part of caring for the whole family. If your child needs a pediatric specialist, we refer and coordinate.
Will my child see the same provider each time?
Yes. NOCO Healthcare is a small practice by design. The nurse practitioner who sees your child at the first visit is the one who sees them at the next one, and the one who sees you.
Can my child have a video visit instead of coming in?
Often, yes. Rashes, pink eye, mild fevers, and coughs can be assessed on video, with a parent holding the phone. If the child needs to be examined in person, we will say so and get you in.
Are you accepting new pediatric patients?
Yes. New families from Garden City and across Weld and Larimer counties are welcome. Call to schedule a first visit, and we will send any paperwork electronically.
What should I bring to a first visit for my child?
Insurance card, any prior immunization records, a list of medications or allergies, and your questions. If you are transferring from another practice, we can request records for you.
Can I get a same-day sick visit for my child from Garden City?
Usually, yes. We hold appointments each day for patients who call that morning. Call (970) 888-0399 as early as you can and we will find a time. For some illnesses a video visit is enough and saves the drive.
Do you treat teenagers?
Yes. Teens are seen for physicals, acne, asthma and allergies, injuries, and the private conversations that are easier with a provider they have known for years.
Do you follow the CDC immunization schedule?
Yes. Vaccines are given on the CDC recommended schedule, and records are kept in your child's chart and provided for school, daycare, or camp when you need them.
What childhood illnesses do you treat?
Fevers, ear infections, strep throat, coughs and croup, pink eye, rashes, vomiting and diarrhea, urinary symptoms, minor injuries, asthma and allergy flare-ups, and the usual run of school-year bugs.
