Thornton Pediatrics
Our Thornton Clinic Will Begin Seeing Pediatric Patients Starting November 3, 2025
We are excited to announce that beginning November 3, 2025, our Thornton location will begin seeing pediatric patients under the care of Frank Baldwin, PA-C.
Frank Baldwin is a certified Physician Assistant specializing in general pediatrics.
As the son of an Air Force serviceman, Frank grew up moving often but ultimately attended high school in New England. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Johns Hopkins University and his master’s in physician assistant studies from Salus University.
With over 12 years of experience, Frank has developed a deep passion for working with children with developmental and behavioral diagnoses, including ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). He is dedicated to integrating mental health into primary care and advancing nutrition and obesity prevention initiatives.
Outside of medicine, Frank enjoys the outdoors, hiking with his partner, and spending time with his cat, Jojo. A lifelong basketball fan, he has also been a Denver Nuggets season ticket holder for the past decade.
Frank’s philosophy of care is simple but powerful:
“To collaborate with parents as partners in their children’s health, treating every patient with respect and providing quality, accessible medical care.”
We are thrilled to welcome Frank to the MedNOW team and to expand our services to better meet the needs of families in our community.
Pediatric appointments with Frank Baldwin, PA-C, will be available starting November 3, 2025.

December is Flu Vaccination Awareness Month. Did you know that approximately 500,000 people are hospitalised due to flu-related complications in the U.S. every year? Influenza is a common respiratory disease that spreads easily. While most people are only sick for a few days before they get better, some people can get very sick and stay sick for a long time, even people who are in perfect health. The best way to fight against this disease is to receive your annual flu shot. Flu shots are safe, quick, easy, and an important step in keeping yourself healthy during the flu season. If you have yet to schedule an appointment to receive your flu shot, we highly encourage you to do so at your earliest convenience. To book your flu shot appointment, please call your MedNOW Clinic, or you can schedule your appointment online through our website! If you have any more questions regarding the flu shot, the CDC provides excellent information. If you need assistance scheduling your appointment, call your MedNOW clinic. Our staff members are always willing to help! Thank you for taking care of your health!
