Carson Close, PA-C

Bio

Carson Close earned his undergraduate degree in Ogden and is happy to return to the area. He received his medical training from the University of South Alabama and completed a Primary Care Transformation Fellowship at Duke University afterward. Some of his clinical interests are sports medicine and orthopedic care.

Coming from a rural family practice in North Carolina, Carson loves getting to know his patients and their families and treating everyone from pediatrics to geriatrics. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with my family, watching or playing basketball, playing disc golf, and pickleball. He began skiing in North Carolina and has brought that passion to the Utah slopes.
