Robert Hoki

About Robert:

Dr. Hoki completed a Bachelor of Science degree in microbiology at the University of Florida and a Doctor of Medicine degree at the University of Florida College of Medicine. He stayed in Gainesville, FL for his pediatric residency at UF Health Shands Hospital. Following residency, he moved to Utah where he completed a fellowship in pediatric cardiology at Primary Children’s Medical Center. He joined Wee Care in 2011.

One of the reasons Dr. Hoki was drawn to pediatrics is because he’s a child at heart. He admires children’s humorous honesty, wonderment, and love of life. What he likes the most about his job is getting to know his patients personally. He advocates for evidence-based practices and preventive medicine that improve the societal health of children, such as vaccines.

Dr Hoki grew up in Florida and first met his wife when they were in elementary school. Many years later, they dated and married. They have nine children. In his free time, Dr. Hoki enjoys activities with his family, including biking with trailer in tow, mountain hiking, building things, sports, video games, cooking outdoors, and playing “magic xylophone” and other made-up games that his children named “Mwuhahaha” and “Sweep the Leg.”

Parent Feedback

My family loves Dr. Ragsdale, he has been such a great doctor who not only cares about our kids, but he also take the time to care about us as the parents. He uses his time to bond and build trust. Every visit I feel like he goes above and beyond to ensure that not only the kids are taken care of, but the whole family is taken care of. We have seen a few of the other doctors on emergency visits who have been great as well. Like all things, we have had a couple bumps in the road that we were displeased with, but we feel like we are listened to and that they are wanting to resolve our concerns. Overall we love taking our kids to see Dr Ragsdale and we speak very highly of him to others.
