The Iowa Clinic
The Iowa Clinic is different in a good way. Being physician-owned with healthcare providers practicing in over 40 specialties, they’re able to provide more proactive and flexible care. With convenient locations throughout the metro area, they offer online scheduling with same-day or next-day appointments available. Or eVisits with Iowa physicians to fit your always hustling, super mom schedule. And because most illnesses and injuries don’t tend to make appointments, their Urgent Care clinics offer extended weekday and weekend hours.
Plus for them, taking care of children is where their hearts are. Their downtown location offers a unique specialty in the area of Pediatrics called Med-Peds. Where they are able to care for Pediatric patients with chronic conditions from birth or as a young child and treat all stages and complications of the illness throughout childhood.
