At Mountain Kids, we believe great care starts with relationships. That means answering your questions, respecting your instincts, and supporting your child’s growth — physically, emotionally, and socially.
Founded by Dr. Charlie Hastings, DO, our practice blends trusted medical science with a personal, holistic touch. We’re here to partner with you as your child grows, and to make sure every member of your family feels seen, heard, and supported.
Whole-child care grounded in trust, compassion, and connection.

Why mountain kids?
a pediatric practice where your family feels at home.
It’s not just the mountain murals, the slide in the waiting room, or the climbing holds on the exam tables (though kids love those). What makes Mountain Kids different is the way we listen and connect, so your family feels supported from the moment you walk in.
At every visit, our goal is to equip kids and their families with the tools they need — physically, emotionally, and socially — to take on life’s challenges. Whether it’s a tough opponent on the field or a difficult social situation, we believe each child has what it takes to climb their own mountains with confidence.

get to know the people behind the care
Mountain Kids is led by our board-certified pediatrician,
Dr. Charlie Hastings.
With more than 10 years of pediatric experience and a love for both the mountains and Missoula, Dr. Hastings started Mountain Kids Pediatrics to help children grow strong and do incredible things across the globe.
"There is no one like Dr. Hastings. (We’ve had our fair share of doctors, pediatricians included). We actually look forward to our well-child visits, which feels weird but is true.
He’s kind, he’s understanding, he shows appropriate levels of concern without ever being dismissive OR alarmist. Even my toddlers are extremely comfortable with him. He’s just the best and we feel so lucky that our kids get to have him as their doctor.
The rest of the staff is great too. We’ve never had a bad experience at Mountain Kids!"

"Dr. Hastings was so nice, knowledgeable, and great with our toddler, who was at the appointment with us. He had her very involved in her baby sister's checkup and totally won her over, which isn't easy to do.
It was only our first appointment with him, but we felt really good about our choice to send our newborn and transition our toddler into his care."

"Our first visit with Dr. Katie was a success!
Although we were running late, she made the time to visit with both of my daughters. It is really great to have a pediatrician who is also a Mom. She is very understanding, kind to the kids, takes her time to explain each step, and even allowed our girls to use the stethoscope!
We are very grateful to be Mountain Kids."

"I can’t say enough great things about Mountain Kids! The entire staff is friendly, professional, and truly cares about their patients.
From the moment we walk in, we feel welcomed and well taken care of. The doctors and nurses are knowledgeable and patient, and always take the time to answer all our questions. Appointments are easy to schedule, and the office is always clean and kid-friendly.
I highly recommend them to any parent looking for top-notch care for their little ones!"

"My son has seen Dr. Hastings since he was two months old. He is now 7 years old, and if he could go to the doctor’s office every week, he would!
Dr. Hastings and all of his staff are beyond amazing. They are supportive, listen to any concerns I have and they are so encouraging of my son.
We feel truly lucky to have such an amazing pediatrician on our team!"

"Dr Hastings is fantastic! He takes his time with each visit and never makes us feel rushed.
I was hesitant regarding some vaccinations, and he took the time to answer every question. He did not make us feel pressured at all. He is gentle and thorough with our baby’s physical exam. My husband and I are impressed.
In addition, the staff here is fantastic, from the front desk to the medical assistants. This is a superior pediatric clinic!"
