Dr. Olson loves hiking with her three-year-old daughter
Brighton, CO – Pediatrician Kelly Ann Olson, M.D., recently joined Premier Pediatrics and the medical staff of Platte Valley Medical Center (PVMC). She works with fellow Pediatricians Joseph Smith, M.D., Debi Campbell, D.O., and Marita Bledsoe, M.D.
She specializes in adolescent patients and newborn care and believes educating the entire family is the best way to treat pediatric patients.
“I was a teacher for 10 years before choosing medicine,” says Dr. Olson. “This background helps me build stronger relationships with my patients and their families.”
She received her medical degree and completed her residency at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX. She was interested in joining the PVMC medical staff because Brighton offers a small, family-focused atmosphere.
“I’m here to offer my patients and their families the time, attention, and energy needed to keep them healthy and happy,” she smiles.
She enjoys reading, hiking and spending time with her daughter.
Dr. Olson’s office, Premier Pediatrics, is located in the medical office building at Platte Valley Medical Center. Their address is 1606 Prairie Center Parkway, Suite 300 in Brighton, and their phone number is (303) 655-1685.
