Robert K Dowse The primary mission of Premier Pediatrics providers and staff is to provide quality medical services with an emphasis on delivering clinical excellence and outstanding customer service in a warm and welcoming family-friendly environment. Parents often ask me why their children should have a well visit. I answer by sharing the time I diagnosed a high-school athlete with a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia; or the 2yr old who was found to have a malignant tumor; or the 5yr old in early stage diabetes.

We initially moved from Color Country Pediatrics for Dr. Dowse. He is excellent! Don't get me wrong but one visit suddenly we saw Darlene! And honestly, we just LOVE her, saw her in public once and was starstruck she's just different and you can tell she not only remembers specific things about our kids, but truly loves what she does. We love her so much and hope she's our pediatrician until the kids are too old

We have always had excellent experiences with Premier Pediatrics. Dr Ben is great at making the kids and parents feel at ease. We are always able to get in for our kids to be seen quickly. The fact that they have one of their doctors on call in the middle of the night is wonderful! Definitely appreciated!

Dr. Dowse is truly amazing. He is compassionate and skilled. He listens and takes his time. I have been bringing my children to Premiere pediatrics for over 10 years. The level of care each and every time has been top notch.

My son actually looks forward to going to the doctor because this office is so amazing. Scheduling is easy, they get you in quickly, check in is easy, there's never a long wait, and everyone is so friendly. We've seen both doctors and while we do have a preference, they're both awesome and I'd happily see either of them (I have not seen the P.A. but have heard good things about her as well).

I always make sure to look at Yelp first for any in person services I go to. I recently moved to Cedar city and wanted to make sure I was going to the very best pediatricians. I absolutely love Premier pediatrics, there waiting room is full of activities and fun toys in areas to engage little ones, every room has a beautiful mural and really fun tables which helps to entertain my two year old.

The doctors are kind always go out of their way to explain things to you and make sure you are At ease. Because of this fabulous pediatrician my two-year-old now loves going to the doctor! Very happy and highly recommend

We've been really happy overall with our experiences at Premier. We prefer Dr. Dowse, and have felt very much cared about and remembered by him. Not so much with some of the other providers. The assistants and staff are always fantastic with the kids! The exam and waiting rooms are fun, they have a quarantine room for brand new babies which is nice, and the appointment availability is great.

Our only complaint is that every time we bring our daughter (who normally has an awesome immune system and has only been sick a few times in her 3 years of life) for a well check, she gets sick the next day.

My kids love coming to this office. All of the staff is very courteous and they all show a deep concern for our 3 kids well being and have a knack for showing compassion.

We have been going to Premier Pediatrics for 18 years. When we moved to Cedar City with three little boys, and one on the way, we went on a search for a pediatrician. Dr. Dowse came highly recommended. We started going to him and we have never looked back. All four of my sons have had the best pediatrician in our area. Three of our sons are adults now, and our youngest just had his last well check with Dr. Dowse.

We are so sad to move on to an adult doctor for him. Dr. Dowse has helped us with everything from broken bones to mental issues. We trust him and we are so thankful for his continuous love, support, and top notch treatment of our precious sons. We highly recommend this office. The Jensen Family

I think Premier Pediatrics is a wonderful place to go. My daughter is about two months now, and she has received excellent care. I love the look of the office, with the two little play areas in the waiting room, as well as the themed exam rooms. The staff has been very helpful with my questions and concerns as a new parent, and I feel very confident in their abilities.

Premier pediatrics has always been a huge hit for my family and I! My 2 daughters absolutely love going to the doctors. Staff are always so nice! The Doctors take their time with my girls so they don't get overwhelmed! I don't feel rushed talking to the doctor about my concerns. They always listen. Great doctors with great staff. Huge plus!

Having moved here recently from the East coast, I am so impressed with how clean the office is, how efficient the office is run, and the excellent care we have received from Dr. Dowse and the Nurse Practioner- Darlene. One of my children has special needs and we are thankful for the extra care and attention given to him to ensure he is growing healthy and receiving the proper medical care for his needs. We are so grateful and highly recommend them to everyone!

Dr Dowse is by far the best pediatrician my kids have had - we went through 3 before finding him. He literally saved my oldest daughter's life, helped me navigate a difficulty with another child, etc. He also remembers things about you and makes you feel like your family matters & isn't just another body to walk through the door. Hands down the best practicing pediatrician

I love Dr. Dowse! I have been taking my 2 and half year old son to Premier Pediatrics since he was a new born. Called them after hours when I was worried as a new mom and helped me any time of day. An amazing set of doctors here! Hands down recommended them!

I have taken my children and grandchildren to Premier Pediatrics for 17 years so we have a long track record with them. Dr. Dowse has always been kind and caring and interested in the child as a person, not just a patient. He also has a lot of patience with patients that need more a little more understanding that others. He has always given us sound medical care.

The other providers at Premier Pediatrics have also been excellent. Years ago I had an issue with the office staff. I wrote a letter explaining the issue and I received a very positive response and saw marked changes in their performance as a result. I have recommend Premier Pediatrics many times and will continue t0 do so.

The staff here are very nice and the nurses that have handled my daughter have all been very gentle. Dr. Dowse has been very patient and accommodating with answering any questions I have and going over what to expect from being a new parent. He is super friendly and funny. He is not pushy in anything that I don't want for my child. The atmosphere and building is very clean and professional, and it is decorated in a fun way that kids of older ages can enjoy themselves while in the lobby.

We have seen Dr. Dowse and Dr. Ben. Both are amazing! So informative and great at answering any questions I have and even questions I didn't know I had! They also did a great job calming all of my first time mom anxieties! With an after hours Doctor on call, it puts my worries at ease.

Being able to trust them and have same day service we sure love their staff and their way to personably care for our children.

We love Premier Pediatrics! They are always very attentive any time I bring my kids and teenager in. They actually listen to your concerns. Sometimes you do have to wait a bit to see the doctor, but I'm okay with that because they never rush me through an appointment. They make sure they answer all my questions before they move on. We usually see Dr. Ben, but I have seen several of their providers and am very pleased with our visits.

We have been going to Premier Pediatrics with our four kids for going on 13 years now. I have loved every single one of the providers we've seen and the entire staff is fantastic and kind. I ALWAYS recommend this office when someone is in need of a pediatrician. The waiting rooms (sick and well) and the patient rooms are so adorably decorated as well.

Dr. Dowse has been my daughter's pediatrician for 11 years. He is great with kids and parents! He listens to my concerns, addresses them in a way that I am comfortable and his staff is also very friendly and thorough. MY daughters always are happy to go to the doctor and enjoy their time there! There is a well child waiting room and a sick child waiting room which is so nice for us so our kids don't get sick when coming for well-checks.

They have always worked with our insurance and I have never had concerns with the office staff! The only negative is the parking, which is not great, but for such a great dr. I can live with it!

This is absolutely the best place to take your child. They have a well area and sick area so not to infect others. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable. The doctors are amazing and full of knowledge that they want to share. They listen to your concerns and don't make you feel stupid. Highly recommend this office.
