Molly Laux, M.D.

Molly grew up out of the state but relocated to Utah in 2018 for her residency. Utah’s mountain landscapes and the opportunity to train at Primary Children’s Hospital was too great an opportunity to pass up. And when residency was over, Molly couldn’t imagine leaving. When not in the office, she tries to spend as much time as possible outside, hiking, skiing, backpacking, and camping.

Growing up, her mother was a preschool teacher and some of Molly’s earliest memories are of that time. She remembers the classroom being filled with joy and laughter, and knew she wanted a career like that as well. Working with kids and families provides plenty of opportunity for laughter, especially when babies become toddlers, start talking, and develop little personalities of their own.

Growing up can also be scary for kids and parents. Molly takes joy in being able to provide comfort and reassurance in addition to medical care during the scary times, so that you can get back to the laughter. It is the best medicine, after all.
