Dr. Noelle Taylor

Biography

Noelle grew up in Kaysville, Utah, the daughter of British immigrants. Following high school and some time off to raise her 3 remarkable children, she attended Utah Valley University where she majored in Nursing. Following her undergraduate work, she worked in both home health care and finally at Huntsman Cancer Hospital. Her time on the inpatient Bone Marrow Transplant unit was spent taking care of those with blood cancers, including varied leukemia and lymphomas. Following this experience, Noelle had a great desire to help patients on a more preventative level and attended the University of Utah Doctor of Nursing Practice program where she graduated with a 4.0 GPA and her nurse practitioner degree in Family Practice, as well as a graduate certificate in nursing education. Most recently she has expanded her practice into aesthetics and loves helping individuals feel beautiful inside and out. Noelle loves traveling around the world with her family and experiencing the amazing outdoor experiences available only in Utah.
