Dr. Fornoff is a well-known and beloved pediatrician. He was recently named the Best Pediatrician and Best Doctor in the Des Moines metro-area! We think he's the best, too, with his vast knowledge and deep kindness. He writes monthly articles on pediatric health for Iowa Living Magazine: Altoona, Bondurant , North Polk, Pleasent Hill, and Clive, and helps to train residents from Blank Children's Hospital in his Ankeny Clinic. He is the pediatrician to ask all of your infant development questions. If you are expecting a baby, schedule your free get-acquainted meeting with Dr. Fornoff to see his experience and kind demeanor for yourself. Children of all ages love Dr. Fornoff!
Dr. Petersen is one of the 2016 Top Three Favorite pediatricians in the entire Des Moines area from Pipsqueaks magazine (page 15). Area families voted on this award! She earns this reputation every day by treating your children like her own.
Prior to joining DSM Peds, Sherri Chrisman-Batterson was a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and Nurse Coordinator at the Unviersity of Iowa Growth Clinic, and served as a registered nurse in OB and Pediatrics at Burlington Medical Center. Sherri has five children so she understands the challenges and rewards of navigating healthcare decisions as a parent. If you seek a compassionate, approachable, friendly, and knowledgeable healthcare provider for your child, consider Sherri for your family.
One of our providers at the Ankeny Clinic, Sally Twedt, grew up in Northern Polk County and is now providing medical care for the next generation of North Polk County children. Our parents absolutely love seeing her and she is one of our most requested medical providers.
Our Ankeny office is located at 2785 N. Ankeny Blvd. Many of our Ankeny patients come from throughout Polk, Story, and Jasper Counties.
When you join DSM Peds, you join a pediatrics clinic with an amazing history that has been woven into the very fabric of Des Moines for 60 years. Read more about our history and our amazing founder, Dr. Henry Corn, in our blog, in Iowa Living Magazine, the Iowa Center for the Book, and the North High School Wall of Honor.
We are here to help with annual visits such as flu shots and physicals/wellness checks, and also here to assist you with asthma, depression, anxiety, allergies, attention and focus, vision, child sports medicine, and much more.
Remember that as our patients you can call 24 hours a day and our own doctors will answer any time, day or night, year round. If your child isn't feeling well, we'll see him or her that day in our Ankeny clinic so you don't have to wait.
