Idaho Falls Pediatrics Is Now Just 4 Kids Pediatrics: What Families Need To Know
Idaho Falls Pediatrics and Mountain Peak Pediatrics have officially joined the Just 4 Kids family of care. The name is new. The providers, location, and commitment to your kids are exactly the same. Just 4 Kids Pediatrics now operates alongside Just 4 Kids Urgent Care and Just 4 Kids Mental Health, giving Southeast Idaho families 1 trusted name for primary care, urgent care, and mental health, all under the same umbrella.
A New Name, 26 Years In The Making
If you have been bringing your little ones to Idaho Falls Pediatrics or Mountain Peak Pediatrics, you already know what good pediatric care feels like. The same-day appointments. The compassionate doctors, nurses, and PAs who actually take time to answer your questions. The building your kids call “the castle.” None of that is going anywhere.
What is changing is the name, and for good reason.
After more than 26 years serving families in Idaho Falls and across Southeast Idaho, Idaho Falls Pediatrics has officially united with Just 4 Kids Urgent Care and Just 4 Kids Mental Health to form something bigger than any of them could offer separately: Just 4 Kids Pediatrics. Mountain Peak Pediatrics in Rexburg is part of the same unification. This is not a sale or a takeover. It is 4 groups of dedicated pediatric care providers choosing to work together under 1 name. The result is more complete care than Southeast Idaho Families have ever had access to before.
Hear It From Dr Steorts
Here is what Dr. Mitchael Steorts, M.D., had to say about it:
“We’ve officially brought several different groups together under one family. Our goal in doing this really was to expand the amount of care we have access to and make it a lot easier for you to find the right kind of care, whether that’s primary care, urgent care, or mental health needs, all under the same family, and make it easier for us to be able to take care of you” – Dr. Mitchael Steorts, M.D.
What Changed (And What Stayed The Same)
Name changes at a doctor’s office can feel unsettling. Here is the short version so parents and patients can feel confident moving forward.
What Changed:
- The name: Idaho Falls Pediatrics is now Just 4 Kids Pediatrics
- The name: Mountain Peak Pediatrics in Rexburg is now Just 4 Kids Pediatrics Rexburg

- Your providers, the same dedicated doctors, nurses, and PAs you already trust
- All 3 locations: Eagle Drive, Pancheri, and Rexburg
- Same-day appointment availability
- The friendly, comfortable environment your kids are used to
- The high level of comprehensive care your family has always received
Meet The Just 4 Kids Family Of Care
The bigger story here is what this unification makes possible. Just 4 Kids Urgent Care, Just 4 Kids Mental Health, Idaho Falls Pediatrics, and Mountain Peak Pediatrics have come together under 1 name to build something bigger than any of them could offer separately. Primary care, urgent care, and mental health support, all working together, so no matter what your child needs or when they need it, you know exactly where to go.
Just 4 Kids Pediatrics (formerly Idaho Falls Pediatrics)
This is your home base for your child’s health. Primary care pediatrics for children from infancy through the teen years, including well-child check-ups, sick visits, vaccinations, developmental screenings, mental health support, sports physicals, and more. A dedicated team of pediatricians, nurses, and PAs across 3 locations. They are committed to compassionate, expert care that keeps families coming back year after year. This practice has been part of the Idaho Falls community for over 26 years and is not going anywhere.
Just 4 Kids Urgent Care
When something comes up that cannot wait for a regular visit, but is not a full emergency room situation, Just 4 Kids Urgent Care is where to go. Whether your child is dealing with a sudden illness, an injury, or symptoms that have you worried, this branch fills the gap between your primary care provider and the ER. Now that all 4 groups are under the same umbrella, communication between urgent care and primary care is more seamless than ever. That means better guidance and less repetition for parents.
Just 4 Kids Mental Health
Your child’s mental health is not a separate conversation from their overall health. It is part of it. Just 4 Kids Mental Health provides dedicated support for kids and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other behavioral and emotional health needs. Having a mental health specialist within the same care family means your child’s providers can actually talk to each other and coordinate treatment. For families who have struggled to find the right support, this is a meaningful change.
Just 4 Kids Pediatrics Rexburg (formerly Mountain Peak Pediatrics)
The Rexburg location continues to serve families in the region with the same standard of care. If you are new to the area or looking for a pediatrician in Idaho Falls or Rexburg, this location is now officially part of the same Just 4 Kids Health family. Same specialists, same staff, same great experience you would find at any Just 4 Kids location.
Why This Matters For Your Family
The way pediatric care has traditionally worked, primary care, urgent care, and mental health support are often 3 separate entities that do not talk to each other. Parents carry the records. Families repeat the history at every visit. You bridge the communication gap yourself.
That is what this unification is designed to fix.
Why Connected Care Changes Everything
When primary care, urgent care, and mental health are all under the same Just 4 Kids umbrella, the team can share information, coordinate care, and provide the kind of comprehensive support that is genuinely hard to find in 1 place. For families managing complex needs, that is not a small thing. That is the whole thing.
Every child deserves a care team that is working together. That is exactly what Just 4 Kids Pediatrics is built to deliver.
Looking For A Pediatrician In Idaho Falls? Here’s What You Should Know
If you are new to the area, recently had a baby, or have been seeing a family medicine doctor for your kids and are wondering if it is time to switch, Just 4 Kids Pediatrics is worth a close look.
Pediatricians are specialists. They complete 3 full years of pediatric-specific residency training after medical school, dedicated entirely to children’s health, development, behavior, and medicine, from infancy through adolescence. A general practitioner completes a few months of pediatric training as part of a broader program. That gap matters most when something is off, whether it is a developmental concern, a behavioral pattern, or symptoms that look routine but are not. A pediatric specialist is trained to catch what a generalist might miss. They also provide the education and guidance parents need to feel confident in the decisions they make for their kids.
What To Expect At Just 4 Kids Pediatrics
At Just 4 Kids Pediatrics, the team has been doing this for over 26 years in Idaho Falls and the surrounding area. Pediatricians, nurses, and PAs who are parents themselves, who love caring for kids of all ages, and who treat every patient like they are the only appointment on the schedule. Reviews from real patients describe a place where children are actually happy to come back, where doctors do not leave the room until every question is answered, and where same-day appointments are available when it counts.
That is the kind of care that turns a first visit into a lasting relationship, from infancy through the teen years and everywhere in between.

No. The providers at Idaho Falls Pediatrics and Mountain Peak Pediatrics are staying exactly where they are. The name on the door is changing, not the people behind it.
In most cases, no. Your records, your appointment, and your patient relationship continue as normal. If there are any administrative steps needed on your end, the practice will reach out directly. When in doubt, call your location to confirm.
No. All 3 locations remain open: Eagle Drive in Ammon, Pancheri in Idaho Falls, and the Rexburg clinic. Hours are unchanged.
Just 4 Kids Urgent Care is a separate branch designed for walk-in urgent needs, including sudden illness and injuries, outside of regular appointment hours. It is now part of the same unified Just 4 Kids family as Just 4 Kids Pediatrics, which means better coordination and communication between the 2 teams when your child is seen at both.
Yes. Just 4 Kids Pediatrics is accepting new patients at all 3 locations. If you are looking for a pediatrician in Idaho Falls or Rexburg, contact the location nearest to you to get started.
That is worth thinking about. Pediatricians have specialized training that general practitioners do not.

Just 4 Kids Pediatrics makes it easy to find out: call, ask questions, and see if the practice feels like the right fit.
