    Dr Wilkins is a wonderful pediatrician. We had a great experience in her office. She listened carefully to me and my concerns. Dr Wilkins is invested in the health and happiness of my children. She took the time to connect with me and especially my kids which I really appreciated. We had a great experience. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent doctor for their child.

    UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

    I cannot say enough about how Dr. Wilkins is intellectually intelligent and also Emotionally Inetelligent.

    UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

    Very caring and great with my son.

    UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

    Yes one thing about Dr. Wilkins is she is also emotionally intelligent. I didn't say anything about my situation with the U of U Psychiatry and she gave me permission to go ahead and call MCOT. MCOT has always been the kindest to me.I deeply appreciated that from the most vulnerable part of my unhealed soul.

    UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

    Very cool doctor and would love to bring my other two child as her primary doctor as well.
