We were in the Dental part of it. First time mom to having my little one have any kind surgery and the staff were kind and the Oral surgeon was amazing and the coolest. The anesthesiologist was amazing too and even carried my daughter to the room!!
Jennifer is the youngest of seven children and has lived in Utah since she was five years old. From a young age, she saw what it meant to be a doctor from her grandfather, who was a general practitioner. He inspired her to go into the medical field.
Jennifer has children of her own and knows as well as anyone the challenges parents face raising a family, and she brings that personal parental experience and empathy into her practice. Jennifer loves kids, which made pediatrics the perfect place to help little people grow and fulfill her lifelong medical dreams. She takes special joy in seeing kids in their first year, watching them achieve so many important milestones and grow before our eyes. But there’s no beating four-year-olds, they’ll tell you anything and everything.
Outside of the office, Jennifer loves Mexican food but will eat anything you put in front of her, at least once. Of course, the best food is found all over the world and Jennifer hopes to try it all by traveling to all 50 states and every continent. But she’ll always come back home, to the place that started it all.
