Perry J. Leonard Jr., MD, MSPH, MHS

As the son of a Navy officer, Perry grew up as a proud “military brat,” moving every three to six years, affording him the opportunity to live in various places across the US and Japan. New to Utah, Perry relocated to the Beehive state so his wife could continue her medical training at the University of Utah. He appreciates the proximity to national parks and its peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere.

Perry was drawn to pediatrics through his faith and childhood experiences. Growing up, his church community emphasized empowering children and instilling within them the confidence, hope, and strength that they need to thrive. When his pediatrician visited his church and spoke about serving others through medicine, Perry knew he wanted to follow the same path.

When he’s not in the office, Perry enjoys road trips with his wife and two young daughters, playing basketball, watching movies, and serving in his church community. He’s also an avid sports fan who cheers loudly for the Georgia Bulldogs and Dallas Cowboys.

Dr. Leonard is excited to grow roots in Utah and make a meaningful difference in the lives of his patients and their families. With a heart for helping others, he looks forward to fostering joy, harmony, and peace within the families he serves while making trips to the doctor something kids can look forward to.
