I recommend IA Specialty Clinic in Fort Dodge anytime I get a chance!! When I run into a person that doesn't have an established provider, I give them the clinic's number and tell them to ask for an appointment with Michelle Pearson. If she doesn't have openings for new patients at the time, other providers will take care of you as well! If I hear of a sports injury, I tell them to go see Dr. Ben or one of his colleagues!! Don't put it off...get in there, get yourself some reassurance for your athlete & as a parent.
