This was the most pro-active doctor visit I have ever attended. Honest information without judgment.

I heard about Iowa surgery through my hairdresser in swea city Iowa. She knew of three close friends that had excellent feedback and positive stories ffom your clientele. The three gals said that your team of staff was professional and you conducted the surgery in stages for a successful outcome. Mentally, nutritionally, physically, etc

October 12, 2021

This was the first time a provider acted like they believed me regarding my attempts at eating healthy and inability to lose weight.

September 24, 2021

This was one of the first times I've been to a doctor appointment where I didn't feel shamed or embarrassed about my situation with my weight. I was treated with respect and care from all of the people I spoke with. You don't know how wonderful that does make a person feel. So often those who struggle with their weight are treated less than, and this office did not do that at all. I'm beyond thankful for that--and for finding a way to help me live longer and healthier with a group of wonderful people.
