Kyley J Cox, MD, MPH is a Pediatrician at our Layton Antelope Building A. She attended the University of Utah for a Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion and Education; she also attended graduate school for a Master’s degree in Public Health with a focus on epidemiology and biostatistics. Dr. Cox then spent time researching the effects of the environment on the health of couples trying to have children and air quality, among other things. She then returned to the University of Utah for medical school and completed a residency at Primary Children’s/University of Utah. She said, “The outstanding medical and pediatric education was too good to pass up and I couldn’t get away!” She is board-certified in pediatrics and a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Dr. Cox is thoughtful and thorough, attentive to details, and enjoys a partnership with families and patients to achieve the best outcome possible. She believes she has the opportunity as a pediatrician to help shape a child’s life for the better by working with them and their families. She loves getting to know her patients and seeing them when they are well or sick; watching them grow and succeed, and being there when things get tough.
Dr. Cox is committed to providing care that is informed by scientific research, rigorous evidence, and medical innovation. As a peer-reviewed author, she has an intimate understanding of the scientific process and its rigorous standards. This experience reinforces her commitment to evidence-based practices and reliance on credible, well-substantiated information rooted in scientific integrity.
Dr. Cox has a special interest in caring for adolescents and young adults with eating disorders. Her practice emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, collaborating closely with dieticians, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to provide guidance and assist patients in moving toward recovery. Her outpatient medical practice cares for individuals of all genders, shapes, sizes, and identities. Dr. Cox can see adults up to age 25 for eating disorders and can see you virtually anywhere in the state of Utah.
She also provides care on the whole spectrum of pediatrics including common illnesses like asthma, eczema, rashes, ear infections, etc. Her other special interests include adolescent and women’s health including IUD/Nexplanon placement, medically complex children, breastfeeding and lactation, and LGBTQ+ health.
Kyley grew up in Star Valley, Wyoming. She lives with her daughter, blue heeler Molly, and two cats, Tyke and Tupac. Her happy place is in the mountains with a good book. She also loves hiking and fishing. Indoors, she and her daughter enjoy board games and drawing. Kyley also enjoys gardening, knitting, and baking, and proudly embraces being called an “old soul.” Her favorite way to relax is getting lost in fiction and historical fiction books.
