Overview

Ryan Mertens, DO, joined The Iowa Clinic in 2022 because he loves the passion fellow providers and staff have for the Clinic and patient care.

Between the clinic, hospital, and ICU, it provides him with numerous opportunities for patient care. Difficulties with breathing can be a very anxiety provoking and traumatic experience and he finds helping patients in these specific situations to be very gratifying.
