Get to Know Dr. Jacob Nelson

Dr. Jacob Nelson is a dedicated Rexburg pediatrician who loves helping little ones feel better. He considers himself to be a big kid at heart, which helps him connect with the kids he cares for on a deeper level. He is passionate about helping children heal and thrive, investing in both their mental and physical wellness during visits.

Dr. Nelson brings a wealth of experience to his role as a Grand Peaks pediatrician, and he is always excited about the opportunity to make a difference in others’ lives. He wants every patient he sees to understand their value and know that they are worthy of great things in this life. 

We believe that collaboration is essential to high-quality medical care, and your family should feel included and guided through every step of the care process. During pediatric visits, Dr. Nelson will gladly walk you through options, explain things to your child, and listen to any concerns you have.

 

Local Pediatric Care

In addition to Dr. Nelson’s services at our Rexburg location, we provide pediatric services at our other clinics as well through our family medicine providers. While our other providers see pediatric patients, Dr. Nelson is our only pediatrician who focuses solely on treating kids.

Our enthusiastic healthcare providers take the time to get to know our patients so we can better serve them. We aim to create personal relationships with your family while offering comprehensive, patient-centered healthcare. 

There are many benefits you can enjoy when you find a local pediatrician, such as:

When your child needs medical care, you don’t want to wait. Finding someone close to you can relieve the stress and help you connect with your provider quickly. Even for less urgent matters, having a local pediatrician can save you the time of having to drive long distances.

Pediatricians specialize in treating kids and have a strong understanding of ways to help them feel at ease. Once you choose a doctor for your child, repeated visits with the same person can also create a sense of trust and familiarity. 

Vaccines protect your child from diseases, and regular visits can help keep your child up to date.

As your child is cared for, you can also receive education and guidance surrounding their health and wellness. Pediatricians can walk you through nutrition, sleep, safety, and more so your kid can stay their healthiest outside of the doctor’s office as well.

Regular pediatric visits should occur regardless of whether you have noticed any pressing issues. This can help your provider monitor your child’s development, address concerns as they come up, and prevent potential issues.

The Grand Peaks Way

The Grand Peaks team takes each patient’s experience very seriously, which is why we do our best to provide individualized, convenient care.

We prioritize the well-being of our patients through:

  • In-house lab availability: In-house labs and X-ray services are available at all three of our locations. 
  • Innovative healthcare: We use an Electronic Medical Record system to coordinate care across locations and deliver innovative care.
  • Location flexibility: Take your pick of our Idaho Falls, St. Anthony, or Rexburg locations. We want you to find the location that works best for you.
