What Our Patients Say About us
Carla

“I came in with an A1c of 11.4% and now it’s down to 7.4% in just 3 months, thanks to the team at Iowa Diabetes. My provider has been very considerate in helping me figure out my correct insulin dosing, which has helped me gain better control of my diabetes.”

“I was lucky enough to be a part of a study done at Iowa Diabetes, and it was a wonderful experience! The staff was so welcoming and accommodating. It was a professional yet fun environment, and I received excellent compensation too!”

Jordan Bohr

“I’ve participated in two research studies with Iowa Diabetes, and can’t praise them enough! The team is lovely and goes out of its way to make sure patients are comfortable, informed, and supported throughout the extent of their research studies. Patients will likely work most closely with clinical research coordinators, but the entire staff is wonderful.”

“Outstanding, saved my life! If I could, I would give them 25 stars!! The portal is one of the best I have ever interacted with. The staff and Dr. B are kind, caring, and concerned for our best health. When I couldn’t get anyone to help in the CR area, Dr. B. came to my rescue. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“I participated in a study. The staff was extremely nice! Marcy, Kris, Kourtney, Erin, and Vicky were knowledgeable, sincere, and patient. When they ran into an IV issue they did not get stressed they worked through it. They made the time fly and the experience fun. They were very concerned and kept offering drinks and snacks. They took a true interest in me and I appreciate it. Hope to be able to participate in more.”

“I’ve had nothing but great experiences with Iowa Diabetes! The online zoom classes were super informative and helpful. I felt as if I was downing in confusion and scared. Those classes explained what Diabetes is, how it works, and how to successfully live with it. There are plenty of people to talk to and they are always available to give advice. I have recently visited the clinic for care. It was very positive and they made me feel really cared for. I recommend Iowa Diabetes to everyone!”

“I heard about Iowa Diabetes on Facebook. Everybody here is great! I went from 14.4 A1C to 8.5 in less than a month. This is the lowest my A1C has been in probably five years.”

We promise transparency in the prices we charge for the care that you receive at each visit. A list of prices will be available in June 2019 and shared with you at your visit. You will also receive an itemized bill after your appointment with all care provided.
We do not directly bill your insurance company. When you pay for your visit, you will be given an itemized bill that you can then submit to your insurance company to be reimbursed. Your visit will be considered “out-of-network” by your insurance company and the amount you are reimbursed by your insurance company will depend on your plan. If you have one, you will be able to use your HSA to pay for your care.
The care that we provide you here is different than the type of care you will receive at other places. We provide care based on your needs and concerns. Our care is more efficient and saves you time by being highly prepared to deliver expert care every visit
