Chris Neeley

About Chris:

Dr. Chris was born and raised right here in Utah. He grew up playing in the mountains no matter what the season.  Whether it’s golfing, hunting, fishing, skiing, snowmobiling, mountain biking, dirt biking, running, or hiking, as long as he is outdoors, he is happy.  Dr. Chris knew early on that dentistry would be a good career path for him.  Dentistry allows him to provide a service and to help others while being creative and working with his hands.

Dr. Chris graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Medical Biology.  He pursued his 4 years of doctorate training at the Ohio State University.  After his dental school training, he returned to Utah and practiced general dentistry for 6 years.  It was during this time in private practice that he found the joy of working with kids and realized that being a pediatric dental specialist was a goal he wanted to pursue. Dr. Chris, with his wife and four kids, moved to the East Coast for 2 years to pursue his specialty pediatric dental training.  Dr. Chris completed his pediatric residency training at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.  He is a board-certified specialist in pediatric dentistry and a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.

Dr. Chris’ favorite part about being a pediatric dentist is obviously the kids. He enjoys watching the kids build confidence at the dentist and treasures the relationships that he builds with the children.

“Kids are the spice of life.  There is never a dull day when working with children.  The ingredients to providing a positive experience and superior dental care to children starts with a positive attitude, a personal, sensitive, and understanding approach, sprinkled with a little crazy.”  Dr. Chris

Parent Feedback

I have been taking my son to see Dr. Hoki since he was about 6 months old and we absolutely LOVE him!! He is an amazing doctor, and a very caring man. He cares about the kids he takes care of and i wouldn’t take my son to anyone else. He has guided us through some pretty tough times as my son has grown up and i can confidently say he truly cares about what he does and it’s not just a “job” for him. And WeeCare Pediatrics is just as amazing. We love all their doctors!! Their facility is clean, well ran, and their time management is great. And the women that work the front desk are so sweet and helpful. I would definitely recommend taking your babies here!!
