— The Iowa Clinic Family Medicine Testimonials

"Iowa Clinic billing was completely inept. The lady at the counter was rude and loud... I asked for a refund on copay and was told it was already canceled. Explained the charge had already hit the account... and the lady... said 'I assure you it has been canceled'."

"Without a doubt Dr Sue is the best family practitioner I have ever been to. So much so that I actually look forward to my routine visits!"
