Colton Ragsdale, M.D.

About Colton:

Dr. Ragsdale was born and raised in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and loved growing up in North Texas. He attended undergrad at BYU where he met his wife, Jessica.

After medical school in Texas and residency in South Carolina, he made his way back to Utah to be closer to family and also enjoy the natural beauty and family-friendly atmosphere of Utah. He and his wife have 5 children. A big kid at heart, Dr. Ragsdale is a huge fan of LEGO and everything superhero/sci-fi/fantasy including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Disney, and the Marvel/DC universe. He enjoys hiking/camping, playing video games, acapella singing, and Ultimate Frisbee.

While Dr. Ragsdale enjoys all aspects of newborn care and general pediatrics, he is especially drawn to obesity prevention and behavioral health (ADHD, Depression, Anxiety). He chose to pursue Pediatrics because he found the most joy in taking care of both well and sick children while teaching parents how to prevent and manage the most common diseases of our time. His personal goal is to provide effective and evidence-based medicine in a timely and empathetic manner.

Parent Feedback

My son has had a cough for 4 days. Scheduled an appointment this morning. Friendly service in making the appointment! When I got to my appointment, they were very friendly, and right on time. The MA was so sweet with my little guy and was the doctor. Dr. Ragsdale explained my son's treatments, asked if I had any questions about his care, and got us on our way! I have been taking my kids to Wee Care for over 20 years. This was one of the best experiences I have ever had there. I can’t say enough good!
