I offer a few options for a variety of family needs.
-
Monthly Memberships are best for:
children who require frequent visits or have chronic health conditions
babies and toddlers who need frequent check-ups and may get sick more often
families without health insurance or with high-deductible health plans
any family wanting reliable long-term care for their children
-
Try-It-Out Visits are a good option for:
healthy children who only need occasional medical care
children needing one-time consults or procedures (such as a sports physical or stitches)
families with financial hardship who need an urgent visit (please ask about available discounts)
families not ready to commit to a membership
Please note that I do not accept any form of medical insurance.
This allows me to:
Spend more time with you and your child/ren
Diagnose and treat more conditions from my office (rather than referring immediately to specialists)
Keep membership and visit costs as low as possible

Frequently Asked Questions
What is direct pediatric care?
Direct pediatric care (DPC) is a healthcare business model that aims to make primary care high quality, personal, and affordable. The model relies on fees paid by families to cover the costs of care. You pay a monthly membership fee and, in exchange, I serve as the primary care doctor for your children. This takes insurance and its many extra costs and restrictions out of the relationship.
Removing insurance restrictions and billing costs from the equation means lower overhead costs — which means that YOU get more of my time and attention, whether in the clinic, through a virtual visit, an e-mail, text messages, or on the phone.
Does a membership mean I don’t need insurance?
We still encourage everyone to have health insurance to help cover the high costs of unexpected things — like surgeries or hospitalization. Also, you may occasionally need to consult a specialist (such as a neurologist or ear, nose, & throat doctor) for complex issues, and insurance is usually helpful in those cases. Also, it is helpful to have insurance to help cover the costs of labs, imaging tests, and vaccinations.
How can I schedule appointments?
You can call or text (801) 707-9224 to schedule an appointment. If we don’t answer right away, we will respond as soon as possible.
What is your clinic schedule?
The clinic is open for routine and urgent appointments on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Saturdays. If your child has an urgent issue, I can generally make special accommodations to see them the same or next day.
Dr. Capella occasionally attends conferences or travel. In these cases, she is usually still available by text and there is another pediatrician (Dr. Diaz-Ochu) that can see your child for urgent illnesses. Members will be notified in advance of prolonged absences. There may be rare occasions when there is no back-up coverage and an urgent care or ER will be recommended during those times.
Where is your office located?
The clinic is located at 1377 East 3900 S in Millcreek, Utah. You can get directions here.
What is your stance on vaccines?
Dr. Capella believes that the risks of vaccines are generally minimal and that following the recommended vaccine schedule benefits the population as a whole. However, she accepts families anywhere on the spectrum from non-vaccinating to fully-vaccinating. For medico-legal reasons, families refusing all vaccinations will be asked to sign a vaccine refusal form.
What if my child needs blood tests or imaging tests?
I will have contracts with local laboratories (LabCorp) and imaging centers (Mountain Medical) to get affordable rates on blood tests and imaging (such as x-rays, CT scans, or MRIs). A panel of common blood tests might cost about $25-30, and a CT scan may cost about $300.
