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
