Bluffdale & Riverton Pediatrician

Mitch Peterson, MD

About Mitch:

Mitch grew up right here in Sandy, Utah, near Little Cottonwood Canyon. Spending time around Utah’s gorgeous landscapes built an appreciation and affection for the state’s natural spaces. Mitch loves getting outdoors to camp, hike, ski, snowboard, visit Utah’s National Parks, and surf behind a boat whenever he has a chance.

Those experiences are improved by the presence of family. Mitch considers his family his closest friends and loves playing with his kids, reading books, woodworking, and taking weekly piano lessons from his grandmother, more than anything. It’s that love of family which brought him to pediatrics. Ask him which age or stage is his favorite and you’ll get a different answer every time.

“I find myself saying to parents of every age of kid that I see, ‘this is such a great age!’ The truth is, they’re all great ages.”

From those special first few weeks with a newborn through the emotional complexity of adolescence and the excitement of early adulthood, there’s something exciting at every stage of life and Mitch lives for families. Yours as well as his own.

Parent Feedback

I wish everyone could have a doctor like my kids have at families first. We have been coming here for around 10 years, and they are amazing. They genuinely care about my kids. Their primary doctors are Sheri Bangerter and Brady Watkins, so those two are my favorites, but we’ve seen many others for sick or urgent visits and they’ve all been great. The front desk staff and all the nurses are amazing, too. They respond quickly to texts and there’s an after hours nurse that you can call for urgent but non emergency issues. They’ve all been so helpful and caring. The doctors have been very thorough with their care, listen to our concerns and give us options to choose from. I’ve never felt so respected and well cared for in any medical environment. The rooms are amazing, too, with murals on every patient room wall. My kids love coming here.
