- Medical Weight LossWe have a part time nutritionist seeing patients in our office a couple half days a month. If you have been wanting to meet with one, now is the time. Sometimes insurance will pay for this consultation, but, if you insurance does not cover this types of service, she does accept cash. Her charge is $50 for the initial consultation, and $35 for follow ups. This is a great way to refresh if you need it for diabetic diets, celiac diets, general nutrition guidelines or ideas for weight loss. If you are interested, call the front desk ( 801-328-1260 ) and make an appointment with Adrienne.

- Primary CareGeneral internists solve puzzling diagnostic problems and can determine the most appropriate care for a severe chronic illness or a combination of illnesses occurring at the same time. They can practice primary care throughout a patient’s lifetime. Subspecialties require additional training, called a fellowship, which lasts 1-3 years. For example, a cardiologist is an internist who specialized in heart disease. The world’s largest society of internists is the American College of Physicians. A Fellow of the ACP, or FACP, is a designation that recognizes a physician’s ongoing service and contributions to medical practice.

- Family PracticeFamily practice medicine developed during the 1960s. Its development was a response to the specialization that was taking place in that period. However, some family practice physicians exclude caring for patients who are pregnant, extremely young or who need significant surgery, which makes it easy to confuse them with internists.
- Emergency CareScheduling is only for follow-up appointments and same-day urgent care appointments. Same day urgent care is for existing patients only (excluding Dr. Ahn and Dr. Hanlon). If you haven’t been seen in our office for over a year, or if you are a new patient, please call the office at 801.328.1260 to schedule a physical. Thank you!
- Infectious Diseases
- Flu ShotsFlu shots are available, and we encourage all our patients to get one, especially this year. While flu shots are not effective for COVID-19, they will help mitigate the flu, hopefully keeping our patients healthier and our local facilities more able to care for patients needing serious and urgent care.
- GynecologyAfter graduation from medical school, the training to become a gynecologist involves eight years of school and training, four of which take place after receiving a medical degree. They should be board-certified by organizations such as the American Board of Gynecologists and registered by professional organizations such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

- PregnancyGynecologists specialize in many issues related to the health of women’s female organs such as fertility, hormone disorders, menopause, menstruation, obstetrics (that is, pregnancy and childbirth) and sexually transmitted diseases. Since gynecology involves intensely personal issues, many women visit their gynecologist instead of a family physician. If they need to see another kind of specialist, they get a referral. Gynecologists can deal with a wide range of situations, including family planning and the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

- Internal MedicinePulmonologists are internists who diagnose and treat respiratory system diseases. After receiving a medical degree, pulmonologists complete a three-year internal medicine residency and may get certification for that work from the American Board of Internal Medicine. At that point, they are a fellow in pulmonary medicine. However, they still have to complete years of additional specialized training before passing exams to be board-certified in pulmonary medicine. More specialization is possible to help pulmonologists better understand diseases like COPD or asthma or to focus on specific patient demographics, such as patients who are children or elderly.
- Gastroenterology
- NephrologyAfter completing medical school and a residency, nephrologists train for two more years to give them the additional knowledge they need to treat kidney problems for people whose kidneys are functionally impaired or failing. Some nephrologists specialize specifically in kidney transplants. Nephrologists practice in individual or group office, at hospitals and in dialysis centers.
- Ovarian CancerThis brief questionnaire will help you determine whether you should be further evaluated for either Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer syndrome or Lynch syndrome. On average, the quiz takes less than one minute to complete.

- Stress ManagementAcupuncture is a tool used by integrative medicine, which consists of a combination of Western medicine and Chinese medicine. Integrative medicine is holistic, and it blends modern science with time-tested techniques. Although scientists do not understand why it works, research has demonstrated that acupuncture is safe and effective.
- Mental Health(NOTE: Mental health and substance abuse treatment information is only specially protected information for certain federally funded substance abuse and mental health providers with Alpine. These providers will be designated and will be the only ones that need to obtain additional authorization.)
- Behavioral HealthFamily medicine physicians study many subjects. These include but are not limited to inpatient hospital care, gynecology, geriatrics, surgery, musculoskeletal medicine, behavioral health issues and common skin diseases. Family practice physicians are particularly effective when they serve as primary care physicians.

- UltrasoundID physicians diagnose infections and consider symptom severity and duration when talking with patients about the history of their disease. They are also interested in learning about any allergies, past medical problems, medications and, when relevant, social history. Once they understand a patient’s background, ID physicians examine patients for symptoms by considering basics such as blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate and temperature. They also often look rashes, enlarged lymph nodes and other observable symptoms that might be relevant to the situation. For example, they order blood tests, ask for imaging information (CT and MRI scans, ultrasound and X-ray), and gain information by using microscopes and cultures. Finally, they look at sensitivities.

- DermatologyAfter graduation from medical school, dermatologists serve a yearlong internship. They then must complete three years of residency working under the direction of experienced physicians as they learn how to identify and treat more than 3,000 specific conditions. They are expected to complete 12,000-16,000 hours of clinical care. They can then be board-certified. The most rigorous board certifications are given by the American Board of Dermatology, the American Osteopathic Board of Dermatology or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Board certification is shown by adding FAAD after the name of the physician, but this credential is also typically listed on a website. Some dermatologists specialize in specific age groups.
