Colton Ragsdale

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

We were so pleased with our visit! We had previously tried getting our week old into a pediatrician elsewhere and because of personal health decisions we made for our baby we were denied to be seen, we were extremely frustrated and discouraged and were recommended to Wee Care being told there might be a Dr there willing to see us. After a prompt call to the office the staff was extremely friendly and was able to get us in the very next morning to see Dr. Ragsdale. The staff, his MA and himself were absolutely phenomenal. They were kind and warm and welcoming and very considerate and understanding about our personal health choices for our baby. It was such a relief. Dr. Ragsdale was prompt, informative and very kind. He took the time to explain and answer our questions and concerns and was great with our infant. My husband and I were so grateful and very relieved!
