Layton Pediatrician

James Fennell, M.D.

About James:

Dr. Fennell was raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, but now calls Utah his home. He received his Medical Degree from the East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine; and did his Pediatric Training at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern North Carolina (now Maynard’s Children Hospital) where he served his final year as Chief Resident. He considers his time serving the children of Eastern North Carolina as being some of the most challenging and rewarding of his Life.

While doing a 3rd Year Sub-Internship at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City; he fell in love with the people of the Beehive State, and knew that this was where he ultimately wanted to Practice.

Dr. Fennell enjoys good friends, good laughs, good music (especially “Old School” R&B), Science Fiction and College Football…and as the office can attest…Loves the Christmas Holidays with a Passion…(as he ignores the groans in the Office when he insist on listening to the Christmas sounds of Nat King Cole, Michael Buble, and “The Carpenters”…in JUNE!) Ultimately his greatest Joy comes from the Love he receives from both the Parents and their kids

Parent Feedback

My kids have gone to Wee Care since my 8yo was a newborn. We absolutely love their provider and have a great relationship with him and his nurse. The folks at Wee Care have always been awesome and you can tell they really care about the kids. It's a comfortable environment and we've always had the best care. It's also a bonus that the Layton location is open late for when your kiddos need care after normal hours. We've never been dissatisfied at Wee Care and I would recommend them to anyone.
