Alyx grew up in Utah, earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Utah, and attended medical school in Utah. She left the state in 2019 to complete her residency at Phoenix Children’s Hospital but she missed the mountains the entire time and high-tailed it back home the moment she was finished.
Alyx loves seeing young children grow, develop, and show their personalities. She especially likes it because kids are the only people who laugh at her jokes. She knows more than most the challenges of being a parent and of growing up.
As a child, personal tragedy struck her family and she lived through the mental and physical consequences of that trauma. She’s forever conscious of the unique position pediatricians hold and their ability and obligation to help kids navigate difficult times and minimize negative impacts to health.
Later, Alyx spent half of medical school raising kids on her own while her husband was stationed elsewhere on military assignment. A deep and overwhelming love of children and their health was all that kept her going. As her and she’ll readily tell you that being your kid’s pediatrician is literally her dream come true.

This place is amazing, I could not ask for a better pediatrics office. Currently we are seeing Dr. Williams and she is the best! As a first time mom I’ve had tons of anxieties and concerns but she has helped ease them all. And their lactation consultant Nicki?? She is the biggest blessing!!!! I feel very fortunate to have found a place that I trust. Will always recommend this place to families 😊
