About Josh:

Born and raised in Syracuse, Utah, Josh loves being in his home state, where he can be close to extended family, enjoy the mountains and desert, attend events downtown, and serve people in his local community.

A music lover at heart, Josh collects vinyl records and attends concerts—enjoying every genre, from the Utah Symphony to a favorite rock band. He’s been taking piano lessons for nearly two years with the goal of playing “Clair de Lune” for his wife, jamming with his dad and brothers (who play guitars and drums), and performing hymns at church. When he’s not at work, Josh also enjoys working on and riding off-road motorcycles, hiking, camping, and spending quality time with his family.

As a father of four, Josh says parenthood has deepened his empathy for kids and parents and helped him appreciate families’ challenges. With over nine years of experience in both pediatric outpatient and in-patient settings, Dr. McBride enjoys everything from the growing newborn stages to navigating important teenage years. He appreciates the joy and resilience kids have, even in the face of health challenges. His goal as a pediatrician is simple: to be knowledgeable, approachable, and supportive of the families he serves so he can get kids back to enjoying being a kid as soon as possible.

Parent Feedback

Dr. Ragsdale is AMAZING. We are a military family and have moved quite a bit. So we have had several pediatricians and he is by far the most attentive, caring, thorough doctor we’ve had. He never makes me feel rushed, makes sure all of my questions are answered and works to make sure our kids feel as comfortable as possible. The Layton office in general has provided a wonderful experience, we have seen several other providers there for last minute sick visits when Dr. Ragsdale was not available and they were all great as well. We were always able to get in same day for sick visits so I’ve never had to take my children to a random urgent care in the two years we’ve lived here. We are preparing to move and are SO sad to not be able to go to this office anymore. Thank you Dr. Ragsdale and the Wee Care Layton team for taking such good care of our family!
