  • About Me

    Hi All.  I am Leighton Reed and am originally from Memphis, TN. After completing my residency at Johns Hopkins All Children's at the beaches of St. Petersburg, FL, I wanted to see what other fantastic places my career could take me. I feel so fortunate that the next step in my career will be at Primary Children's. On my interview day, I was not only happy to learn about the wide variety of pathology and patient volume, but I also enjoyed the family-oriented mindset that every team member had. With my interest in medical education, I was so excited to learn about all the opportunities with research, med ed, and administrative duties to help me find my niche in academia. Beyond the hospital, I am moving to Utah with my wife, 2-year-old son, and enormous labradoodle. We are so excited to explore what all SLC has to offer (especially the outdoors). This program has already welcomed my little family and I feel blessed to have matched into so a wonderful institution!
