Katlin spent two years caring for patients on the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota before relocating to Utah in 2025 when her husband accepted a position at the University of Utah. She loves the easy access to the outdoors and has already made great memories hiking with her two young sons at Silver Lake and Blood Lake.
As a pediatric provider, Katlin’s favorite part of her job is building meaningful connections with children and their families. Whether it’s discussing the sports they play or who their best friend is, she loves learning about her patients’ lives and finds joy in seeing them grow year after year.
Katlin particularly enjoys working with children during the formative years from newborn to age five, and she strives to help underserved communities. Her passion for caring for children runs deep, and she believes that when we invest in the health of our kids, we strengthen the entire community.
At home, Katlin’s life is full of adventures with her two energetic boys. While she admits cooking is not her strongest skill, she’s learning and is all in if it involves cheese. She loves to read and harbors a secret talent for discussing obscure B-rated horror movies in great detail.

I’ve been bringing my son to Family First Pediatrics for over 7 years, and I couldn’t be happier with the care we’ve received. The entire team is professional, kind, and truly dedicated to the well-being of their patients. Dr. Thomas is absolutely wonderful—always patient, thorough, and great at making both kids and parents feel at ease. I always feel confident that my son is in good hands here. Highly recommend this clinic to any family looking for reliable, compassionate pediatric care!
