About William:

Will start seeing patients on 1/5/26.

Apart from his time away for school and service in the U.S. Navy, Utah has always been William’s home. It’s a place he loves for its natural wonders and the great people who call it home.

William’s passion for working with kids began long before dental school, when he volunteered weekly at Primary Children’s Hospital helping young patients bravely navigate their healthcare experiences. After serving as a general dentist in the Navy, those earlier experiences inspired him to expand his education in pediatric dentistry. His research and commentary have since been published in Pediatric Dentistry.

As a pediatric dentist, William loves seeing kids for their first dental appointment and helping them feel comfortable with their oral health. He takes time to make every child feel recognized and appreciated during their visit and enjoys turning what can be an overwhelming experience into one where a child realizes that they are braver and more capable than they thought. He takes teeth seriously, but not himself, and his well-timed practical jokes are known to bring out plenty of smiles.

At home, William and his wife, Katie, are busy raising their two boys. He enjoys fishing, building Legos, and is currently reading the Harry Potter series for the first time. As both a parent and a pediatric dentist, William treats every child as he would his own, blending compassion and humor to help patients feel right at home.

Parent Feedback

I love the pediatricians at Wee Care. As first time parents, we are constantly convinced something is wrong. The doctors do an amazing job at putting your mind at ease and treating you with compassion. All of the staff is amazing at all of their locations. And it’s even better for first time parents because they are open 7 days a week!
