Mindful Pediatrics Services
Mindful Pediatrics is an ideal choice for families who desire a comprehensive, integrative, and mindful approach to their child’s pediatric care. This includes parents who desire a relationship with a medical doctor who can evaluate the overall picture of their child’s health holistically, as well as families requiring assistance addressing a new health concern or supporting their child’s complex or chronic condition.
Dr. Roy is a board-certified physician and is licensed in the state of Colorado. He works with patients from birth through young adulthood. If you live in a different state, you can utilize our distance educational consultations to discuss concerns you may have about your child’s health.

Functional & Holistic Mental Health
Dr. Roy’s specializes in integrative and functional approaches to mental health and psychiatry. He uses a combination of laboratory, functional medicine, and genetic testing to uncover the root causes of PANDAS/PANS, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), tics, and depression. While medication may be beneficial for some children, we’ve achieved excellent results for many utilizing integrative methods.
ADHD Diagnosis & Management
There are many contributing factors that can lead to poor focus, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. From lifestyle to genetics, Dr. Roy has extensive experience using a nuanced holistic and functional approach to assist children, adolescents, and young adults to reach their full potential.
Second Opinion Consultations
Although many of our patients already have a primary care physician or see specialists, they consider Dr. Roy their main resource for a holistic second opinion. They appreciate his attentive listening and personalized advice and feel comforted knowing that he doesn’t resort to pharmaceutical solutions for every issue.
Vaccine Consultations
All patients are welcome at Mindful Pediatrics regardless of their vaccine status.
We understand that there are many confusing and controversial issues associated with deciding how to vaccinate your child. We believe a vaccination schedule should be tailored to each child’s exposure and risk. We use evidence-based research to guide families to make the best choice for their child, family, and community.
Since many of our families have a primary care physician and prefer alternative vaccine schedules, we currently do not administer vaccines in our office.
Chronic Conditions & Diagnostic Dilemmas
Understanding and treating complicated conditions can be very challenging. Dr. Roy believes we must simultaneously see both “the trees and the forest” to find the root cause of an unusual or longstanding illness.
Additionally, we support families by coordinating and connecting them with the appropriate referrals and therapies.
