Family practice at waukee and west des moines are the worst. There are good doctors at Iowa clinic…read more I've been going there for a long time. But smith in waukee is absolutely unthinkable. 3 times this doctor verbally abused me, shouting and making false accusations repeated over and over again. Then, she gets the current doctor scholz involved by spreading rumors and lying. I went for a med check, and scholz brings up medication that wasn't what she told me she was going to change. Then she picks up a bunch of papers, waves them in the air and said, what is this? If I had my wits about me, I would have said you acting crazy. This is a very immature gossipy bunch of women. I doubt that i'm the only one smith has verbally abused. If you were verbally abused by smith in waukee or west des moines put your note in here, the more people tell the less it's gonna happen. Neither of these doctors understands what FM LA is or how it works or what accommodations ate Or how those work, they'd rather gossip and come up with their own weird imaginations. Remember everyone's behavior is their own choice including doctors. Smith eventually kicked me out of her clinic because I was five minutes late. The rule is ten minutes. I've waited for her up to an hour.

A week later we decided to take him into the ER, and it turned out to be Appendicitis-surgery immediately. Again, I understand that Urgent Care centers have limitations on their abilities.

My experience with this place is not good at all, I was a patient at the flagship clinic since March of 2023 and if someone would have asked me how I feel about this place 6 months ago I would have said they are amazing, but when they opened the Cedar Rapids Clinic (I had moved to Cedar Rapids to be closer to family) things deteriorated very quickly. I was super excited to get my daughter and best friend into this clinic also. So, to say I was impatient for opening day that would be a gross understatement. However, when the three of us began seeing the provider in Cedar Rapids it was very clear that the clinic was not ready for opening day. They had no front desk staff and the LPN who was supposed to be in the back was the only person helping the one and only provider the clinic had. While this LPN was sweet to begin with, it quickly it became obvious that she was becoming overloaded with the front desk responsibilities, the duties with/for the provider, answering the phones, submitting billing (this is questionable), sending out lab samples , etc...etc.... The first time my daughter was able to get into the provider we were both excited because I enjoyed the care I received at the West Des Moines office so it was extremely unexpected when the LPN snapped at my daughter right away wanting to know why she was in there wanting to change PCP's when she already had a provider, Mind you my daughter was a) wanting a new provider and b) wanted a second opinion regarding a potential auto-immune disorder, which she has every right to. This LPN's behavior got increasingly worse, she was losing entire and partial samples that needed to go to the lab, she was getting more confrontational with me and my daughter, until she did something that I felt warranted being reported to the main office. When the LPN was ultimately fired. I was immediately told by the provider that she was friends with the LPN and wanted me to know that she was refusing to provide my care moving forward. this was in early November 2025. On November 15th, 2025, I received a message from the VP of Member Services on my patient portal telling me that "since I had not paid dues in 3 months Exemplarcare was terminating my membership. Now I don't want to get into too much detail, but I decided to contact my insurance company with this conundrum that happened with Exemplarcare in November, I was advised to ask for a "Billing Audit", so I sent a message through my portal requesting this document and stated that I believed that 2 business days should be ample time to send this document. Later, on Friday, I got an email from the VP of member services stating that if I did not cease communications with the office, [she] was going to seek legal action. Now I assume this means that they are refusing to provide me with that information... I have attached a picture of that e-mail to this comment. Not a great experience in the end! UTA: I just noticed that a staff member wrote their own review in an attempt to sway the overall rating of this place. It's pretty pathetic that a "professional" place of business would need its own employees to write false reviews; this is cheating and if they will cheat for a review the just think about the level of pettiness they take in your care and how they would take great ease in spreading any number of patients business anywhere they please. so Seriously and incredibly pathetic!!!!!!

Don't these places usually have more than one service provider? Then, after that person finally got seen, it seemed to take forever for ME to get seen. Meanwhile, five more people walked in after me. Hope it didn't take forever for the five more people. But, once I got seen, the Physicians Assistant who saw me was quick AND thorough. I had an ear problem. Got it diagnosed quickly. The Physicians Assistant was very friendly and nice. She also was able to "shoot" a prescription to Wal-Mart and I was able to get it. One thing I was surprised at, they didn't require you to fill out a 10 page thingie on health history. Ok, whatever. They were also ok with me not providing my SS number for my claims, it's not required. The seemingly long wait time irked me when there was only ONE other person at the time I went in, but I would go here again if needed.

The receptionist was shockingly rude, dismissive, and completely unhelpful. She acted like answering basic questions was an inconvenience and moved at an unreasonably slow pace despite the office being completely empty. An empty waiting room should have been a red flag--and after reading other reviews, it's obvious this place has a pattern of poor service. This was not a one-off bad day; it's how they operate. To make matters worse, they seem more focused on overcharging than actually helping patients. There was little to no effort to work with insurance, which feels intentional and predatory. If you value your time, money, and basic respect, go anywhere else. This clinic does not deserve your business.

DN used to be great place to get care when I couldn't get an appointment with my family doctor or if I (or a family member) needed to see someone on a weekend. Next time I'm sick, I will be avoiding DN like the plague. The nurse and doctor were great. Dude at the front desk has clearly been scarred by the ire of people realizing the insane money grab...comes off as smug, but I'm sure he is the lucky guy who gets the brunt of the complaints.
