Dr. Jennifer Kalkman grew up in Minnesota and completed medical school at the University of Minnesota before moving to Utah to complete her pediatric residency training at Primary Children’s Hospital/University of Utah.  She fell in love with Utah during that time and ultimately decided to make it her home, joining our Summit office in 2025.

At the heart of her practice, Dr. Kalkman prioritizes collaboration.  She strives to work alongside children and their families with clear and open communication, ensuring that each voice is heard and that plans are created together.  Her goal is to empower families and serve as a trusted guide—both in navigating parenthood and supporting children as they begin building the foundations for their future.

Dr. Kalkman enjoys caring for children of all ages.  She finds each phase of childhood to be full of opportunity and wonder but understands the challenges too.  With a strong emphasis on lifestyle, nutrition, and prevention, Dr. Kalkman is committed to supporting the growth, development, and overall well-being of every child she sees.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Kalkman loves cheering on Minnesota’s perpetually disappointing sports teams (Go Wild!).  She loves to travel and strongly believes that there is no better day than one spent on or near the water.  Her favorite destination so far is Copenhagen, Denmark and dream destination is New Zealand.
