Choosing a pediatrician is one of the most important decisions you can create when deciding to begin or expand your family. You want someone who is caring, knowledgeable, and accessible; a physician willing to take the time to go over all of your options and treat your child as a person, not just a patient. At our practice, we pride ourselves on our patient service.

Choosing a Pediatric Medical Home is one of the most important decisions you can make when deciding to start or expand your family. You want someone who is caring, knowledgeable, and accessible; a physician or certified pediatric nurse practitioner willing to take the time to go over all of your options and treat your child as a person, not just a patient.
For URGENT after-hours calls, please call our main number (801-523-3030) and follow the voice attendant prompts. We want to offer your child the best medical care possible and therefore it is not our policy to prescribe antibiotics without an office visit. Again, please restrict these calls to URGENT medical matters only!
Many of the services provided in our office are covered and paid for by your insurance company. As a courtesy to our patients we will send claims to your in-network insurer for processing. All services are rendered to our patients -- not their insurance companies -- therefore all charges are the financial responsibility of the insured, not the insurance company regardless of your insurance coverage.
For any family where parents are separated or divorced, the parent authorizing treatment and bringing the child into our office to be seen is responsible to us for payment and this payment is due when services are rendered as per our payment policies. In the case that only a copay is due at the time of service, any charges deemed by your insurance as patient responsibility are due to ABC Pediatrics PC by the parent who authorized the treatment and attended the office visit.If a divorce decree requires both parents to split any medical charges incurred, it is the authorizing parent's responsibility to collect reimbursement from the other parent.
Please be aware, per your signed financial agreement, all outstanding balances are due upon receipt. There may be times when a child needs a service that is not considered preventive on the same day as a well-child visit. If a child is not well or a problem is found or needs to be addressed during the checkup, we may need to provide an additional office visit service (called a sick visit) to care for the child. This is a different service and is billed to your health plan in addition to the preventive services provided on that day.

We saw Pete for twelve years. We loved him and trusted him. Our kids loved him too. We had an appointment to get a recommendation for a pediatric therapist for our 8 year old. Our son WAS NOT SICK, but Pete wanted to do a Covid test. We told the nurse he didn't need a Covid test and asked to talk to Pete. Pete would not even come into the room to talk to us.
We were all masked and, again not sick. So we ended up walking out. I was upset because we had been anticipating this appointment because our son needs help. I called the office and asked to talk to Pete, ended up leaving a message. Instead of calling me back to have a conversation about what happened Pete had the front desk girl call and read a written statement.
I am angry. After years of seeing him he didn't have enough respect to come talk to us while we were in the office and then didn't have the balls to call me back. Our son who has been a patient of Pete's since he was born needed help and Pete turned us away because we chose to exercise our medical freedom. We will not be going back, which makes me sad and mad.

I took my son in for the first time to this facility. He was seen almost immediately. The reason for the visit was just what I thought would be a stomach bug. He was throwing up randomly and lethargic. The Dr wanted a blood sugar test and he came back extremely high. The nurse, staff, and both Dr's we met with were SO friendly and caring. I cried my eyes out for a minute when they told me that I needed to take him to the ER and that he most likely had type 1 diabetes.
They were all very empathetic, assured me it wasn't my fault, made my son feel so welcome and cared for. I will be making the drive every time to go see them. They even charged my phone that was almost dead so I could Google directions to the hospital without my phone dying. They went above and beyond and I am forever grateful to them.

I trust him with my kids lives.& that is not easily found. Even when he switched offices, I couldn't imagine taking my kids somewhere else. They love him & trust him & he really knows his stuff & cares about his patients & their family. He's helped my kids with everything from check-ups to viruses to over-worried mom woes & more. He's awesome at everything. literally the best pediatrician; I couldn't ask for more. oh & his staff is great too.

We had Dr Pete for about 5 years with two of our children and he has, hands down, been the BEST Pediatrician. He was always open to questions, answered very thoroughly, & we never once felt rushed with any appointment. Our children have polynesian names which can be difficult to remember, but Dr. Pete always remembered their names. He's great with children! We were very sad that we moved cause we know we'll never have a pediatrician like him!

We have been coming to Dr. Pete and Mary-Faith for more than 6 years and followed Dr. Pete from the Draper office to Cottonwood Heights. He is wonderful, funny and great with parents and kids. He is extremely realistic and careful not to over-prescribe antibiotics. He focuses on the child's overall health and is very knowledgeable when it comes to answering your questions. The supporting staff is fantastic as well, I've never had a problem getting an appointment when my kids need to be seen. We love this office!

Seriously the very best pediatrician! Being a new parent is scary and having someone there that listens, takes the extra time and tells it how it is, is so very important. Dr Pete really cares about who he's seeing as well as the poor scared parents there with too many questions. I'm so greatful he was there for our family as we welcomed our first sweet baby.
It's killing me we switched insurance and they don't accept it and we have to find someone new. I just know it won't be the same! I felt totally comfortable and never rushed when in the office. I would highly recommend ABC Pediatrics.
