Painful Nursing

Nursing isn’t supposed to be painful, and yet it’s one of the top complaints of first-time mothers. Early intervention to correct painful latch, blockages, or poor positioning can keep your breastfeeding plans on track.

Parent Feedback

I wish everyone could have a doctor like my kids have at families first. We have been coming here for around 10 years, and they are amazing. They genuinely care about my kids. Their primary doctors are Sheri Bangerter and Brady Watkins, so those two are my favorites, but we’ve seen many others for sick or urgent visits and they’ve all been great. The front desk staff and all the nurses are amazing, too. They respond quickly to texts and there’s an after hours nurse that you can call for urgent but non emergency issues. They’ve all been so helpful and caring. The doctors have been very thorough with their care, listen to our concerns and give us options to choose from. I’ve never felt so respected and well cared for in any medical environment. The rooms are amazing, too, with murals on every patient room wall. My kids love coming here.

Better, Together

When your infant’s pediatrician and your lactation consultant are on the same team, you can expect faster solutions.

Your providers can consult one another and follow-up to ensure your baby’s latch, weight gain, and appetite are all progressing. And, if there’s an issue inside baby’s mouth, you’ll also have access to pediatric dental providers right here in our offices. Corrective procedures like frenectomies can be done more quickly and with less pain than ever before.
