Overview
"Stephanie O’Brien, DO, is a board-certified pediatrician at MercyOne Clive Pediatrics Care. ""I became a pediatrician simply because of my love for children,” said Stephanie. “Whether it's an infant learning to babble, a child telling me a joke, or a teenager talking about their future plans – children always put a smile on my face. I feel honored that you allow me to be part of the journey of watching your kids grow and keeping them healthy."" Stephanie is a graduate of Iowa State University and received her medical degree from Des Moines University. She completed her pediatric residency at Southern Illinois University before returning to Iowa and joining the MercyOne team. Stephanie enjoys seeing children of all ages and getting to know her patients and their families. Her clinical interests include newborns, the importance of childhood vaccinations, early detection of developmental delays and pediatric behavioral health. Stephanie said, “I grew up in Boone, Iowa and have always known I would settle down close to home. I am excited to grow my practice in central Iowa, where I am familiar with the lifestyle and values of the area."" Outside of work, Stephanie enjoys reading, dancing and being a mom. You can find her cheering on the Iowa State Cyclones, shopping or spending time with her friends and family.".

MercyOne Des Moines Pediatrics Urgent Care
I grew up in the midwest but decided to venture south for college. I graduated from Hendrix College with a bachelors in Biology in 1992. From there I entered the United States Peace Corps for a tour in Mauritania, West Africa and followed that up with medical school at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. I did my residency in pediatrics at the Marshfield Clinic/ St. Joseph's Hospital in central Wisconsin.I've since had the privilege of practicing pediatrics in Iowa for over 20 years in both the primary care clinic and hospital settings, including over 17 years of NICU experience. This increasingly uncommon perspective of both sides of patient care has been integral to helping me manage more complex medical issues and better anticipate potential outcomes.In my spare time, I'm a photography enthusiast and my husband and I both love to travel. We've been blessed to visit over a dozen countries. We have a daughter who grew up to be a writer and makes us proud. Dr. Hanson is highly rated in 4 conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Croup, Viral Gastroenteritis, Diarrhea, and Asthma in Children. Dr. Hanson is currently accepting new patients.
