We've been going to Families First for nearly 10 years. We've seen many providers and loved them all. I love that I can get in quickly when my kids are hurt or sick. No doubt they have the best pediatricians in the valley.
Dr. Chris was born and raised right here in Utah and spent his youth running around in the mountains. That love of the outdoors is alive and well today. Outside of the office, you’ll find him doing every type of outdoor activity from golfing or dirt biking to skiing, mountain biking, gardening, and hiking. If it can get wet or dirty, Dr. Chris is on board.
He received a degree in Medical Biology from the University of Utah before moving to Ohio to complete doctoral training at The Ohio State University. After completion, Dr. Chris came back to Utah and practiced general dentistry for six years. During that time, he realized that kids are a lot more fun to hang out with than adults, and pursuing a specialty in pediatric dentistry was the smart move. That decision took him away from Utah once again, this time to Yale University for two years of pediatric residency training at Yale New Haven Hospital. Dr. Chris is a board-certified specialist in pediatric dentistry and a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
