Primary Care
“Really, we want to encourage patients to use the portal to communicate with us. If you’re considering adding a new supplement or vitamin, you can send a message through the app and get a pretty quick response,” Dr. Monson said. “It’s not the kind of thing you necessarily need to make an appointment for, but any time you have prescription medications combined with over the counter medications, it never hurts to check. We always recommend talking with your primary care provider before starting any new vitamins or supplements and being aware of possible interactions is a big part of that. The health portal makes communication that much easier.”

Internal Medicine
It might sound simple, but as Benjamin Monson, MD, Internal Medicine at The Iowa Clinic notes, one of the most important things a patient can do to help manage their health via medication is to have a complete list of everything they are taking.
Gastroenterology
Urology
Ovarian Cancer
Routine cancer screenings are often regarded as very important for prevention, but when it comes to ovarian cancer — there are no screenings available. In the United States, ovarian cancer is considered the deadliest gynecologic cancer. This is because the symptoms are vague and ovarian cancer is not typically diagnosed until it has already spread outside of the ovary.
Cervical Cancer
With what we know now about cervical cancer, it is preventable in many cases — even more so with routine pelvic exams. However, these symptoms aren’t normal...
Endoscopy
“First, we start with looking in the front with a nasal speculum, which helps us open up the nostrils and look in a little bit,” Dr. Liudahl says. “The septum is a long structure, so we really want to evaluate the whole length of it for structural or other issues. A nasal endoscopy is a camera that allows us to look better into the nose and see farther back.”

Radiology
When you choose The Iowa Clinic to support your primary care needs, you also choose seamless collaboration between expert specialty teams, medical imaging and radiology, and any emergent or urgent needs. Which means you get to focus on your health while we connect the dots.
Nuclear Medicine
Mammography
Computed Tomography
If you experience any of these symptoms and they do not resolve with treatment and time, it could be a sign of ovarian cancer. This is particularly true for individuals that have already gone through menopause or have a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer. Advocating for yourself is important to ensure something isn’t being missed. Oftentimes, diagnosis requires a CT scan before anything is found.

Initially, she was drawn to the field of otolaryngology (Ear, Nose & Throat Surgery) because of the complexity of the head and neck and the diversity of pathology. She provides tailored care to pat... Read More

Plastic Surgeons

Rhinoplasty
While it is a nose surgery, it’s not a nose job. That’s rhinoplasty — a cosmetic surgery to alter the appearance (possibly a visible deviation) of your nose. Or septorhinoplasty, which corrects both the structural and cosmetic.

Dermatology
Lesions
“Cancer or precancerous lesions are what we most worry about because it can spread,” Dr. Kremer said. “You can have polyps that are benign, but unless we are looking for it to find the cause, we don’t know.”

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Beyond sports injuries, an orthopaedic surgeon can also diagnose and treat injuries related to falls and accidents that result in orthopaedic trauma, such as broken bones or fractures.

General Podiatry
Achilles Tendonitis
Athletes are often referred to an orthopaedic surgeon after sustaining a sports injury. Common sports injuries include sprains and strains, knee injuries, Achilles tendon injuries and rotator cuff injuries. An orthopaedic surgeon is your go-to resource for all your sports medicine needs.
Ankle Sprain
More serious ankle injuries, such as an Achilles tendon rupture, may require surgery. Chronic lateral ankle pain or recurrent ankle sprains are also common candidates for surgery.
Bunions Problems
Your feet and ankles have a lot of moving parts and carry your body weight when you move around throughout the day. This means they are also prone to injury. The Iowa Clinic’s foot and ankle specialists can diagnose and treat issues that cause different types of foot and ankle pain, including foot pain and heel pain. Common conditions we treat include plantar fasciitis, plantar fascial fibromatosis, Achilles tendinitis, hammer toe, heel spur and bunions.

Foot Pain
Plantar Fasciitis
Podiatric Surgery
Foot surgery is mostly reserved for situations where less invasive procedures have failed to resolve a problem or in instances where there is chronic pain. The Iowa Clinic’s foot and ankle surgeons have the knowledge and resources to determine whether surgery is necessary.

Allergies
“The thing I really want people to know is that you don’t have to live with the annoying symptoms that people associate with allergies. If you are experiencing these symptoms seasonally, your body is having an allergic response to some kind of trigger. One of the best things you can do is undergo allergy testing to have the information about what you’re allergic to. That’s how you can find better relief,” Dr. Petts said.
