For Shardul Poudyal, MD, The Iowa Clinic presented an excellent care model for not only their patients but the community as well, which he admired when choosing a practice. He chose Internal Medicine because it allows him to build lifelong relationships with patients and their families in their time of need. The ability to help his patient with a wide variety of problems across multiple specialties is something Dr. Poudyal finds most rewarding about his practice.
