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.

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.

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.

Melissa Thomas, FNP
Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner
Melissa began her nursing career in 2014 and quickly developed a passion for pediatric care while working at Utah Valley Hospital, where she helped support the development of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Her approach to care is shaped not only by her clinical experience but also by her life outside of medicine. 
Melissa and her husband are the parents of ten children—five biological and five adopted—and proud grandparents to three, with one more on the way. Their family has navigated complex medical challenges, including two children with a rare genetic disorder (MPS II) and one who has been treated for diffuse B-cell lymphoma.
