Robert Hoki

About Robert:

Dr. Hoki completed a Bachelor of Science degree in microbiology at the University of Florida and a Doctor of Medicine degree at the University of Florida College of Medicine. He stayed in Gainesville, FL for his pediatric residency at UF Health Shands Hospital. Following residency, he moved to Utah where he completed a fellowship in pediatric cardiology at Primary Children’s Medical Center. He joined Wee Care in 2011.

One of the reasons Dr. Hoki was drawn to pediatrics is because he’s a child at heart. He admires children’s humorous honesty, wonderment, and love of life. What he likes the most about his job is getting to know his patients personally. He advocates for evidence-based practices and preventive medicine that improve the societal health of children, such as vaccines.

Dr Hoki grew up in Florida and first met his wife when they were in elementary school. Many years later, they dated and married. They have nine children. In his free time, Dr. Hoki enjoys activities with his family, including biking with trailer in tow, mountain hiking, building things, sports, video games, cooking outdoors, and playing “magic xylophone” and other made-up games that his children named “Mwuhahaha” and “Sweep the Leg.”

Parent Feedback

I have been taking my son to see Dr. Hoki since he was about 6 months old and we absolutely LOVE him!! He is an amazing doctor, and a very caring man. He cares about the kids he takes care of and i wouldn’t take my son to anyone else. He has guided us through some pretty tough times as my son has grown up and i can confidently say he truly cares about what he does and it’s not just a “job” for him. And WeeCare Pediatrics is just as amazing. We love all their doctors!! Their facility is clean, well ran, and their time management is great. And the women that work the front desk are so sweet and helpful. I would definitely recommend taking your babies here!!
