Meet the Doctors at Prairie Pediatrics
Dr. Alison Auster, MD
Dedicated to Caring Relationships
I started Prairie Pediatrics in 2021 as a practice that provides patients a superior level of care in a friendly, caring environment. We are a practice that values close long-term patient relationships built on responsive communication, understanding and integrity.
The deep connections I have established with patients over the years have been the most joyous part of my practice.
Dedicated to Excellence
My practice is informed by my experiences, which include medical training at University of Illinois-Chicago and residency training at the world-renowned Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Since moving to Denver in 2001, I have practiced in the ER and primary care pediatrics.
I love pediatrics and constantly evolve my craft, attending conferences and avidly reading to ensure my patients get the best care possible.
Dr. Lina Ayala Castro, MD
My greatest passion in pediatrics is building lasting relationships with patients and their families, while drawing inspiration from the joy that children bring to our lives and the strength and resiliency they possess.
Warmth, collaboration and a commitment to evidence-based medicine are at the heart of all of my patient relationships and interactions. I prioritize creating a safe, welcoming space by being approachable, thorough and supportive.
It's an honor to be part of every child's journey and to support their physical, emotional, social and developmental growth and well-being.
Having grown up in Colombia, I am a native Spanish speaker and value creating connections with families from a wide diversity of backgrounds. I completed medical school at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and residency at the Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami. I enjoy hiking, dancing and spending time with my fiance and our dog.
Dr. Kailey Proctor, DO
I am passionate about developing meaningful connections and relationships with families while supporting them through every stage of their child's growth and development.
I bring clinical excellence and a warm, compassionate, patient-centered approach to caring for all children. I especially love working with new parents on newborn care and lactation support, in addition to helping kids grow up healthy by supporting their preventative care, nutrition and behavioral health.
My care aims to empower parents and children with knowledge and guidance -- giving them confidence and ensuring they feel supported in managing their health.
After graduating from Baylor, I obtained a masters in biomedical sciences and completed medical school at Rocky Vista in Parker, CO. Following residency training at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando, I am excited to be back in Denver. Outside of work, I enjoy yoga, skiing, reading and travelling with my husband.
WE are dedicated to YOU
Our providers have a shared commitment to empower parents and patients with the information they need to participate in their care, offering options for treatment along with a trusted professional opinion about the best course. We practice shared decision making with families and eagerly invite them to ask questions.
