House Call Pediatricians in Utah: Are Home Visits Still a Thing?
Imagine this: your toddler wakes up with a fever, you're juggling multiple kids at home, and the idea of dragging everyone into a clinic sounds... exhausting. What if instead, your pediatrician could come to you?
At Direct Care Pediatrics, house calls are back—and better than ever.
We’re redefining pediatric care for modern Utah families by bringing old-fashioned home visits into the 21st century with transparent pricing, flexible scheduling, and compassionate, personalized care.
Do Pediatric House Calls Still Exist?
Yes! While most large healthcare systems have moved away from home visits, Direct Care Pediatrics proudly offers at home appointments across Utah, especially in the Salt Lake Valley.
Dr. Dallin Hubbard, MD, PhD, will come directly to your home when your child needs care—whether it’s for an ear infection, stitches, a newborn check-up, or just peace of mind.
Why Families Are Loving Home Visits Again
- No waiting rooms. No exposure to sick kids.
- You stay home, your child stays calm.
- Longer appointments and no rushing.
- One-on-one time with a pediatrician who knows your family.
Whether you're managing multiple kids, a newborn, or a chronic condition, having a pediatrician come to you saves time, stress, and energy.
When Is a House Call a Good Fit?
Home visits are ideal for:
- Sick visits (fever, cough, rash, vomiting, pink eye, etc.)
- Minor injuries (lacerations, cuts, mild burns, sprains)
- Well checks (especially for newborns or babies under 2)
- Follow-ups after hospital stays
- Developmental concerns or behavioral consultations
Many families use home visits for their first few pediatric appointments after birth—no car seats, no exposures, just care in the comfort of your living room.
What Areas Do You Serve?
Dr. Hubbard offers house calls primarily throughout:
- Sandy, Draper, South Jordan, and surrounding cities
- Utah County and Salt Lake County (with travel fee for further distances)
- Virtual visits are also available statewide if a home visit isn’t needed

Many families appreciate boutique local options like Bee Home Pediatrics in Salt Lake City, while national services such as Pediatric Housecalls and DispatchHealth highlight the growing trend toward convenient pediatric care at home. Even pediatricians like Dr. Marina Capella at Healing Arts Pediatrics are adopting house-call and virtual models—showing that this old-school approach is making a modern comeback.

- per home visit
