Growing up in Cottonwood Heights, Matt loves being in Utah, close to the mountains and family. And with a Café Rio nearby, he has everything he needs close at hand.
While going to the dentist isn’t most people’s idea of a good time, Matt’s working hard to change that. He believes dental care can be fun, and even when it isn’t, kids can accomplish difficult tasks with a bit of support. You’re bound to find balloon animals mixed with learning and laughter in his office. Matt always has a joke handy, loves hanging out with the best budding standup comics all day (kids), and can always count on great new material from them. As a dad of four, he treats all his patients like his own children.
When he’s not adding to his joke arsenal, making balloon animals, or keeping smiles bright, Matt can be found singing, playing the guitar and piano, and recording music. He’d love to start a rock band, learn to golf, or train for a triathlon in the future.

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!
