Here are a few things that set Des Moines Pediatric and Adolescent Clinic apart from other clinics. 

Continuity of Care

We come to the hospital within 24 hours of your child being born. And by we, we mean our pediatricians. Other places outsource this role to doctors who work at the hospital. You want your doctor to see your child directly following birth, not five days later, so your pediatrics office will have a complete medical history of your child from the beginning.

Late Night Worries

Your child might have croupe, colic, or a fall injury late a night. You may have no idea if it should warrant a trip to the ER, to urgent care, or a few hugs and back to bed. When you call, our doctors answers. The same doctors you see in the office take your phone calls at night, talk your questions and concerns, and will recommend to you some next steps. Seeing our doctors means you are covered around the clock, any time, every day. 

Strong Roots & Family Traditions

We opened the Beaverdale Clinic in 1958, and generations of Des Moines area children have come through our doors. Our first patients are in their 60s and 70s and many brought their children and grandchildren to our pediatricians. Thousands and thousands of families around the Des Moines area choose to bring their children to us, and tell us they wouldn't go anywhere else. 

Friendly Neighborhood Clinic

Those strong roots mean that when you come see us, you come to a place that feels like a friendly neighborhood clinic. Where the staff and providers know your name and are happy to see you. You never feel like just a number or a dollar sign, because we are not a mega-medical corporation. Many of our patients swtich to us after starting with a giant corporation. They find out they don't want to park in a huge parking lot, shuffle down long corridors, and feel like student in a 400 person classroom. Our patients park right in front of our clinics, open the door and see our friendly front desk staff, and feel like they are part of a family and community. Patients especially like coming to our Ankeny clinic. They praise our staff for getting them in and out, with no hassle, traffic, wait times, long walking times, or other delays.
