Debbie Durkee received a Bachelor of Science in Family and Human Development from Utah State University in 1997. She then began working in the Behavioral Health Unit at Primary Children’s Medical Center as a Behavioral Health Specialist and Social Service Worker. In April 2003 she completed her LPN degree at Davis Applied Technology College and began working at LDS Hospital on the Medical/Oncology Unit. After obtaining her Associate of Science degree from Weber State University in December 2003, she returned to PCMC and began her work as an RN. She worked for a time in the Children’s Medical Unit and Emergency Department but has spent most of her nursing career in the Rapid Treatment Unit working with children and their families in an outpatient setting.

After completing her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Utah, she continued her education and received a Master of Science in Nursing from Brigham Young University in 2012. Through her academic efforts, Debbie was initiated into the nursing honors society Sigma Theta Tau International and was the Valedictorian of her graduating class at BYU. She is nationally certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner with the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

Having worked in pediatrics for fifteen years, Debbie has gained a wealth of experience and knowledge in providing care to children and their families. She has a passion for the pediatric population and is currently working in the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Allergy, Immunology, and Rheumatology.

Patient Rating

Many reviewers praise Debbie for being thorough, caring, and communicative—they note she explains conditions, involves patients and guardians in decisions, and addresses children directly. However, several comments describe feeling rushed or that visits were overly clinical, and a few raised administrative or diagnostic concerns (for example, MRI results not requested in advance and uncertainty about diagnostic terminology). Overall, feedback is largely positive about her clinical thoroughness and bedside manner, with repeated suggestions to allow more time and clearer follow-up on results.
