I was totally satisfied with the care I received at Iowa Ortho administered by Paige. Everyone who worked with was very courteous, competent, and professional. They listened to my issues, identified the problem, and treated it. We have a second appointment scheduled to follow up if there are any further issues.

My appointment went well. I would recommend Ms. Goff for giving shots to anyone. She is very thorough with her recommendations and she seems genuinely interested in your injury. She is interested in what you have to tell her and she does not make you feel rushed.

I switched to Iowa Ortho for all my orthopedic needs because I was dissatisfied with the other orthopedic “big dog” in Des Moines. I’m very happy with my choice. I’m treated as a person and not a dollar sign. I loved meeting Paige! She’s so knowledgeable and makes sure to answer all questions and address all concerns! Plus, I prefer my medical care from a woman. I feel as a woman, I’m better understood.
