      Nicole Stoecken, DO joined The Iowa Clinic in 2023 because of the high standards in providing the highest quality care. She admires the community involvement that TIC has, which is a priority for her, her patients, and the Grimes and surrounding communities. Dr. Stoecken chose to practice community-based pediatrics because she loves the opportunity to build relationships with parents and build a partnership in the health and wellbeing of the child from the newborn stage through the transition into young adulthood. Having practiced general pediatrics for nearly the past decade, Dr. Stoecken has treasured the opportunity to care for families and children in the community where she lives and has chosen to raise her family. The most rewarding part of being a pediatrician is the continued relationships she develops and loves the moments when a patient recognizes her outside of the clinic and excitedly shares their successes on recent exercise goals or healthy eating choices. With the arrival of her fourth child, her life was unexpectedly changed when her child was diagnosed at birth with Down Syndrome. What she once feared has become one of the greatest blessings in her life. As a special needs mom, she has learned so many things about caring for a child with different health care needs, which has been an immeasurable addition in helping her patients and families navigate through their own healthcare journey. Outside of work, Dr. Stoecken is active in a nonprofit organization in Des Moines – Gigi’s Playhouse --which provides services and support for individuals with Down Syndrome, as well as their families. She has greatly enjoyed participating in Gigi’s events in support of her daughter, as well as some of her patients. Together with her high school sweetheart, Andy, they have four children -- Emma, Blake, Brooks, and Josie, where they have resided in Grimes for many years. They enjoy spending their time boating at the lake, spending time with neighbors, traveling, or partaking in numerous sports, especially cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes. If she were not a provider, she might have been a zookeeper. Dr. Stoecken is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Familial Short Stature (FSS). Her top areas of expertise are Croup, Developmental Dysphasia Familial, Asthma in Children, and Delayed Growth.

      When should I see a Familial Short Stature (FSS) doctor near Des Moines, IA?

      There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

      • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
      • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
      • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
      • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
      • You want a second opinion.  

      What should I consider when choosing a Familial Short Stature (FSS) doctor near Des Moines, IA?

      It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

      How does MediFind rank Familial Short Stature (FSS) doctors near Des Moines, IA?

      MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

      What types of insurance are accepted by Familial Short Stature (FSS) doctors near Des Moines, IA?

      Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

      How can I book an appointment online with a Familial Short Stature (FSS) doctor near Des Moines, IA?

      MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Familial Short Stature (FSS) doctor search results page. 

      Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Familial Short Stature (FSS) doctor?

      Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

      How can I prepare for my appointment with a Familial Short Stature (FSS) doctor near Des Moines, IA?

      Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

      • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
      • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
      • Family history of disease 
      • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
      • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
      • List of questions and concerns 
      • Your insurance card 

      You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

      What questions should I ask my Familial Short Stature (FSS) doctor?

      Here are some sample questions: 

      • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
      • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
      • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
      • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
      • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

      How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Familial Short Stature (FSS) doctor may know about?

      MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

      MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

      Can I filter my search to show male or female Familial Short Stature (FSS) doctors near Des Moines, IA?

      Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Familial Short Stature (FSS) doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

      Can I filter my search to find a Familial Short Stature (FSS) doctor that offers video calls?

      Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Familial Short Stature (FSS) doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
