This was my first visit to the clinic and it was a great experience! Everyone was super friendly, and the entire process was smooth and efficient. There was no wait time, which made everything even better!

I thought I had broken my wrist and she was so reassuring in her explanation of why it was not broken and how to treat my injury. Iowa Ortho staff are ALL excellent and caring.

I am so happy that Iowa Ortho has an UC in Johnston. I injured my knee and was unable to bear weight. I hobbled in at 6:30pm and they were able to see me. Leslie Brown PA was so professional and compassionate as well as the entire staff. While I require additional care, I am so glad I didn’t need to go to the ER and wait for hours. Highly recommend!

Leslie was awesome! She was professional, knowledgeable, and put me at ease with her pleasant manner. Her skills were evident as she gave me the injections, working with ease & comfort. Her knowledge was evident while explaining options for my pain relief. I honestly wish I could have her for follow up & anyone would be blessed to see her as their PA. I highly recommend Leslie!!

I’m a patient of Dr. Matthews, but had to go to urgent care for Iowa Ortho on May 9, 2025 it’s SARAH who is a PA at the Johnston urgent care office and experienced very good care, SARAH was very thorough in the examination and very compassionate to my care and I’m so glad I switched to Iowa Ortho from Capital Orthopedics for my Knee Replacement Surgery…

I was extremely pleased with the care that I was given today at the Urgent Clinic, I felt like the physician really listened to the things that were bothering me the most and came up with a solution that was the best fit for right now and going forward I’ve never been steered wrong at any of the Iowa orthos I’ve been to. I’ve always received perfect care from the doctors I’ve seen.

Sarah Kehoe created, quite possibly, my best doctor-visit experience to-date. The urgent care clinic was readily available for walk-in appointments. Sarah was extremely informative, responsive, empathetic, and comforting with her words. I went in with some known sports injury knee issues, and was mostly looking for reassurance and a referral for an MRI. In an out in under an hour, including X-rays. You’re a gem, Sarah Kehoe. You do great work.

Iowa Ortho always has my best interest in mind. I have been a patient for many years. I just recently had an appointment with Leslie Brown PA-C at the urgent care Johnston site. You can walk in an get an appointment and be seen. The wait wasn’t long. Leslie Brown was extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I ended up getting an injection in my knee. I’m not a fan of needles, but Leslie Brown did a great job with the injection and i felt little to no pain during the procedure. I definitely recommend iowa Ortho and Leslie Brown PA-C if you have an injury and need to be seen!!

I went to Iowa Ortho Urgent Care with pain in both knees from doing a lot of yard work in the prior week. They got me into an exam room, quickly, and, then, took me to get x-rays of my knees. Shortly thereafter, Leslie Brown came to my room and went over the x-rays with me. She showed me where my arthritis was continuing to erode the cushioning between my leg bones in my knees. She explained my options. I opted for an injection for my left knee and to get an MRI for my right knee, as it was more painful and felt like surgery may be necessary. Leslie was great. She explained everything very well. She is very knowledgeable and professional. I am now waiting to hear from Iowa Ortho regarding scheduling my MRI and my appointment with the surgeon. I am pleased with the help Iowa Ortho is providing.

My son recently had his first ever injury. We drove around to different urgent care clinics and nobody could get him in for hours and required an appointment to see him (what’s the point of urgent care then?). We went to Iowa Ortho Urgent Care in Johnston and they didn’t hesitate to see him at all. The nurse, X-Ray tech, and Dr. Light were all very patient with him and took the time to explain things and listen to him. Very quick and got the next steps rolling immediately! Very pleased with this office and their staff! Thank you!!!!!

Went in to Iowa Ortho Urgent care for chronic knee pain. Xrays were administered and after they were reviewed, it was suggested (and I agreed) to a cortisone shot. A day later and knee is much better. I was in and out in about 30 minutes. Would definitely recommend.

Had an emergency and came to this urgent care location to receive help after waiting over 4 hours at an emergency room with no help. Sarah Kehoe was super friendly and nice and really empathized with me while I was in extreme pain. She helped me in my particular situation and I could not express my gratitude to her more. If you see anyone here please see Sarah as she is the most helpful and genuine individual at the location.

Iowa Ortho is wonderful. I hurt my foot & was concerned that it was broken. Their Urgent Injury Clinic was able to help me right away. An xray showed two broken bones and Leslie, the PA, was able to explain everything to me clearly and fit me in a boot to promote healing. I am almost pain-free when wearing the boot. I appreciate their fast, professional service.
