Our Pediatric Services in Utah at
Families First Pediatrics

Immunizations

Many diseases that used to be a threat are now easily vaccine-preventable. Unfortunately, many reasons that such preventable diseases still exist are due to the lack of immunizations. Immunizations can save time and money, protect those you care about and potentially save your child’s life.

Mental Health

We evaluate, provide treatment, and find appropriate services for children and families in Utah.

Pediatric Checkups

The first years of your child’s life are very important. The physical and social health of your child will often show their readiness for school. As such, routine checkups are essential to a child’s health.

Expect the following recommendations and examinations during our check-ups:

• The height, weight, and BMI (body mass index)
• Sleep habits and patterns
• Overall nutrition
• Physical and social development progress
• Development of Cognitive and Academic abilities
• Related social and family medical history
• A full physical examination
• Vision and Hearing tests
• Health recommendations for prevention

School & Sports Physicals

Our physical examinations consist of a medical history background check and a physical examination. As with all physical activities, there is a certain risk of injury, which we try to prevent with our physical examinations.

Physicals are recommended for those taking part in:

• Club sports teams
• School sports program
• School required fitness regimens

Our physician will identify any pre-existing or potentially harmful conditions that would keep a sports participant out of a game or hinder their performance.

Requirements of sports physicals will vary by state and sport. It is recommended to receive a physical at least six weeks prior to the start of a sports season. Check with your school sports administrator in order to be properly prepared for the upcoming sports season.

Attention and Learning Problems

When children experience problems at school such as hyperactivity, inattention or academic underachievement, often parents won’t know what to do. Our comprehensive evaluations allow us to help students overcome the roadblocks that prevent them from succeeding in school.

Lactation Consultations: Supporting Breastfeeding Mom’s
