Riverton Physician's Assistant

Kristi Cox, PA

Kristi Cox, Pediatrics

About Kristi:

Kristi grew up right here in American Fork, Utah. She was one of six kids, the only girl among a sea of brothers, so she learned pretty quickly how to figure out what she wanted and go after it. It was the only way to survive. Kristi attended Utah Valley University for her undergraduate studies, where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology. After graduating, she spent a few years teaching science, math, and health at the secondary level before changing careers to medicine.

Kristi traded teaching school for attending school at the University of Utah School of Medicine, where she earned her Physician’s Assistant degree. Now she uses the culmination of those skills to teach patients and their families the wonder of the human body and how best to care for it.

When she’s not working or learning, Kristi can be found hanging out with her husband and four kids, camping, mountain biking, or gardening. Anything to enjoy Utah’s natural spaces. If she’s not doing that, you can find her with her headphones on, lost in a good audio book.

Parent Feedback

We transferred to Families First about 6 years ago when our long time & only pediatrician moved out of state. I had worked with her in a large pediatric office before having children and am probably a bit particular about who I trust with my children’s health care. I have been so impressed with each office and provider we have dealt with at Families First. Especially Mitch Petersen, our primary pediatrician for all 6 of my kids. He’s awesome, my kids love him and he’s great at teaching & explaining and making everyone comfortable. Love all their services, including the newish counseling office. Valerie has been so helpful with one of my children. Loved that my 5 year old could get her ears pierced at one of the offices too.
