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!
