Lacey grew up in Kaysville, Utah where she attended elementary school. In the first grade, she took a baby doll to school and proudly told the class she was going to be a baby doctor.
After getting her diploma, Lacey was bound for Brigham Young University where she earned an undergraduate degree in Nursing in 2002. Lacey then spent seven years in the Newborn ICU before earning a Master’s Degree from BYU in 2009 and a doctorate in Nurse Practitioner from the University of Utah in 2021.
When she’s not working with kids, Lacey loves to backpack, camp, and hike in the summer — she hopes one day to hike Kings Peak again and make it to the summit this time — and ski in the winter, with her family. With three kids of her own, Lacey knows firsthand the good times and the hard times that come with being a parent and with growing up. Fortunately, she’s been preparing to handle those challenges since the first grade. And just like that baby doll years ago, your kids are in great hands!

We had an amazing experience with Dr. James and his assistant, Bridget! They were both incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming with my daughter, making her feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. They took the time to explain everything, answered all of our questions, and made what could have been a stressful visit a fun and positive experience.
