About Shelbie:

Originally from Idaho Falls, ID, Shelbie has called Utah home since she was 10 years old. She appreciates the variety of nature found here in Utah where she enjoys hiking (especially if it involves a waterfall!), paddleboarding, or camping with her husband, three children, and two dogs.

Being the oldest child in her family and the eldest grandchild on both sides, Shelbie grew up surrounded by younger siblings and cousins. When she was just five years old, her brother had a prolonged stay in the NICU that piqued her interest in the healthcare field. Working with children as an RN, in homecare pediatrics and the well newborn nursery, solidified her love of working with children. She believes kids truly are the best patients—they bring joy, resilience, and endless curiosity to every encounter.

As a parent of three, Shelbie understands how scary and daunting it can be when your child isn’t feeling their best. She values clear, compassionate communication with her patients and their parents and strives to ensure every parent feels heard and supported.

Parent Feedback

I absolutely love Wee Care Pediatrics! The attention here is amazing the front desk staff is always kind, welcoming, and efficient. Dr. Newman is simply the best! He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about his little patients. He takes the time to listen, answer all questions, and make sure both parents and children feel comfortable.
