Are you accepting new patients?

Many of our providers are currently accepting patients, though some may have full practices. To select a provider before making your first appointment, visit our Providers page and look for the Open Practice icon. You can also filter the providers by location and by their specialty. If you need any help, we’re happy to help you find a provider. Just text us or call 801.254.9700.

I’m expecting. How can I become a patient before delivery?

If you’ve already identified the pediatric provider you’d like to see your newborn, the next steps are simple. Call the maternity department of the hospital where you plan to deliver and ask them to list your pediatrician of choice in your records. When you deliver, call or text us to set up that important first visit. At that time, our reception will send you an invitation via email to set up a Patient Portal account. From there, you’ll be able to fill out our New Patient Packet online, so everything is in place for the first appointment, and you won’t need to fill out the packet in the office.

Anything else about first visits?

“Whether you’re bringing your three-day old baby or your three-year old toddler, many things are the same about a first appointment. Our welcoming staff will show you into one of our fun and colorful, themed exam rooms and your provider will spend time getting to know you and your child. First-time visits come with extra paperwork, but it can all be completed online or printed and filled out easily at home before you arrive. Your provider will take a full health history and, depending on your child’s age or health history, he or she may have other screening forms they’d like for you to complete.”

"Dr. Esham is truly an excellent pediatrician... We never feel rushed. My son feels very comfortable with her, which means so much to me as a parent. I genuinely have zero complaints."

- Intermountain Health patient review

"Office told us on the phone a cash visit would be $100. In the office they made us pay $130... A week later, they send a bill for an additional $70... Very shady practice in my opinion."

- Healthgrades patient review

"Dr. Mijer is great. She is very welcoming and thorough. She takes the time to get to know her patients. She has a human touch and isn’t just running on automation."
