Alyx is a Utah native and completed her undergraduate degree, master of public health, and medical degree at the University of Utah. She completed her pediatric residency at Phoenix Children’s Hospital and then quickly moved her family back to Utah to enjoy the beautiful scenery and year-round outdoor activities Utah has to offer.
Alyx has a special interest in mental health and recognizes the responsibility pediatricians have to help children and adolescents navigate difficult childhood events. She is passionate about minimizing trauma’s negative impact on physical and mental health.
She takes a comprehensive approach to health, focusing on mental, emotional, and physical wellness, and recognizing that focusing only on numbers (weight, BMI, etc) is not a reliable way to support overall wellness. She loves watching young children grow, develop, and show their personalities — and especially loves making them laugh with her corny jokes.
She and her husband, a Blackhawk helicopter pilot in the Utah Army National Guard, are raising three children and know the challenges and rewards of being a parent. Being your child’s pediatrician is literally her dream come true.

Families First Pediatrics is so great. I called this morning to have my daughter seen for pink eye and they got us in super fast and even had eye drops for her there so we could start right away and not have to drop off a prescription and go to a pharmacy. The staff was very friendly and treated us with kindness.
