Josh D. Fuller, MD

Board Certified Pediatrician

Dr. Joshua D. Fuller is a board certified Pediatrician who joined Pediatric Care in 2013. He attended medical school at the Medical University of South Carolina (Charleston, SC), the tenth best Medical School in the United States. His main interest of study while completing his medical degree was Pediatrics with a focus on Neurology, where he had the great opportunity to learn from some of the South’s top known Pediatric Neurologists. Later he took the opportunity to complete an externship at Primary Children’s Hospital (Salt Lake City, UT).

Dr. Fuller completed his Pediatric Residency program at the Children’s Hospital of Georgia (Augusta, GA) one of Georgia’s only Pediatric Trauma Centers. During residency Dr. Fuller practiced Patient and Family Centered Care, which is a partnership based as much on trust and empathy as it is on advanced technology.  This approach allowed parents to round with the doctors and help in the development of a medical plan. During residency he really found a love for working with children, as well as, helping to educate parents. Dr. Fuller is a good, old-fashioned, southern gentleman, who likes to take the time to listen to parents, discuss their concerns, develop lasting relationships with families, and enjoys interacting with children.

“Dr. Josh” was raised in the South (Greenville, SC) and comes from a large family of 7 kids, which is why he enjoys spending time with children.

He and his wife, Michelle, have two boys—Wyatt and Austin—and a baby on the way.  His experience as a husband and father have helped prepare him to answer questions from concerned parents and ease them through the growth of their children.

In his spare time Josh loves spending time with family, being outdoors, and playing sports, including some favorites like beach volleyball and basketball.  Since moving to Utah, Josh as also taken up snowboarding. He loves fine dining, traveling, and playing the occasional video game. He has recently learned the art of balloon animals, which he loves to share with his patients at their well visits!

Canessa C. Leeflang, FNP

Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner

Canessa attended Brigham Young University’s Family Nurse Practitioner Program and graduated at the top of her class. She wanted to attend BYU because of the small class sizes in the FNP program, one on one mentoring, and clinical rotations in Utah County.  This helped her get a great education and detailed experience with Utah County’s population.

Canessa is a nationally certified family nurse practitioner (NP-C) from the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). Prior to becoming an FNP, Canessa worked as a Registered Nurse in SLC and graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Utah’s nursing program.

Canessa loves chasing after and taking care of her young son and not-so-young husband. She and her husband enjoy renovating and remodeling houses and are particularly fond of grey paint with white molding. Since becoming a mother, Canessa hasn’t been able to water ski as much as she would like but she still considers boating, sunshine and water sports a hobby.  Canessa also loves going window shopping and out to lunch – which her husband doesn’t consider a “hobby”.  Canessa loves being a part of the Pediatric Care team and makes it a priority to take extra time to teach her patient’s parents and answer questions.
