About James
Dr. James "Jim" Little, Jr., spent most of his childhood in Jackson, Wyoming. His father, Dr. Jim Little, Sr., was the first pediatrician in Jackson and still practices as a pediatrician here.
Dr. Little, Jr., graduated from Jackson Hole High School and earned a bachelor's degree in television and film production at Syracuse University. During college and afterward, he developed a passion for medicine while working as a professional and volunteer Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). After a brief stint working in TV news and film production, he followed his dream and went back to medical school. In 1998, he graduated from the University of Colorado School of Medicine, where he was president of his medical school class. He completed his residency training in family medicine at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, Oregon.
After practicing family medicine in the Portland area for seven years, Dr. Little, Jr., had the opportunity to return home to Jackson Hole in 2008.
Jim embraces a patient-centric philosophy of medicine. He believes passionately in the importance of a strong doctor-patient collaboration in medical care and treating the whole person, and not just focusing on individual organs or medical conditions. He has special interests in sports and wilderness medicine, aviation medicine, pediatric care, and urgent care for children and adults of all ages. He is board certified in family medicine and is also a Senior FAA Aviation Medical Examiner.
When not practicing medicine, Dr. Little Jr. is an avid skier, volunteers as a firefighter with Jackson Fire/EMS, and flies as a search and rescue mission pilot with Civil Air Patrol.

really liked Dr Jim Little. very personable. gave my son a good exam given a bike accident. very thorough
The doctor was very informative and clear in explaining my condition.
Was only there for blood draw. Most questions N/A
Dr. Little, like Kelly, was friendly and professional. Both made me feel assured I was getting good care.
excellent as usual!!
This was about covid so it's really hard to judge since this is new territory for everyone.
It's hard to give high marks when I needed to be seen. I believe I had an ear infection and I really wanted it to be looked at, but I also didn't want to take antibiotics when I don't need them. I completely understand why it wasn't an option to be seen, but it also led to me not getting the information that I needed. It was more of a guess. I worry that with some of these precautions, some medical conditions could get overlooked.
I trust Dr Little and felt he offered good advice and reassurance.
I have been super impressed with all the physicians and PA's at both the hosp and the clinic. Stellar staff at SJH SJUC facilities...
I had a respiratory infection and the doctor did not even look at my ears, nose, or throat. 2 days later, I had to see another doctor and get more treatment of my infection
Dr. Little is wonderful!

Dr Little is very good
Dr. Little was personable, helpful and emphatic. Would definitely visit him again if I was in the area.
Dr. Little was both attentive to my concerns and also skillful in assuaging any unnecessary worries I had.
All very positive.
Dr. Little is great. I was in considerable distress and ended up in the ER and spending a night in the hospital. He was very concerned about my well being and wanted to bring in an ambulance for my transport. I think against his better judgement, I refused the ambulance.
I love Dr. James Little!
Dr. Little was very good as always in discussing my situation and listening to my recent history to apply it moving forward.
thanks
I thought Dr. Little was extremely prepared when he treated me. He had researched the source of the allergic reaction. Extremely happy with the quality of care I received.
It's important to me that my doctor and staff talk to me, not the computer. I know that my records are on the computer and those records need to be accessed, but it is very appreciated when the personal touch and conversation continues to be included in the visit. Dr. Little and staff have done this and I'm thankful they do.
Dr. Little was familiar with my health challenges and addressed them with respect and concerned professionalism.
I asked for a follow-up blood draw for lipids, ask for a routine physical while there and Dr Little suggested I get a colonoscopy as part of that and I was granted all the requests. I was even contacted by the same day surgery personnel about scheduling my colonoscopy before I arrived home in Star Valley.
awesome
nurse, receptionist and physicians were kind, attentive and professional
