My experience with this place is not good at all, I was a patient at the flagship clinic since March of 2023 and if someone would have asked me how I feel about this place 6 months ago I would have said they are amazing, but when they opened the Cedar Rapids Clinic (I had moved to Cedar Rapids to be closer to family) things deteriorated very quickly. I was super excited to get my daughter and best friend into this clinic also. So, to say I was impatient for opening day that would be a gross understatement. However, when the three of us began seeing the provider in Cedar Rapids it was very clear that the clinic was not ready for opening day. They had no front desk staff and the LPN who was supposed to be in the back was the only person helping the one and only provider the clinic had. While this LPN was sweet to begin with, it quickly it became obvious that she was becoming overloaded with the front desk responsibilities, the duties with/for the provider, answering the phones, submitting billing (this is questionable), sending out lab samples , etc...etc.... The first time my daughter was able to get into the provider we were both excited because I enjoyed the care I received at the West Des Moines office so it was extremely unexpected when the LPN snapped at my daughter right away wanting to know why she was in there wanting to change PCP's when she already had a provider, Mind you my daughter was a) wanting a new provider and b) wanted a second opinion regarding a potential auto-immune disorder, which she has every right to. This LPN's behavior got increasingly worse, she was losing entire and partial samples that needed to go to the lab, she was getting more confrontational with me and my daughter, until she did something that I felt warranted being reported to the main office. When the LPN was ultimately fired. I was immediately told by the provider that she was friends with the LPN and wanted me to know that she was refusing to provide my care moving forward. this was in early November 2025. On November 15th, 2025, I received a message from the VP of Member Services on my patient portal telling me that "since I had not paid dues in 3 months Exemplarcare was terminating my membership. Now I don't want to get into too much detail, but I decided to contact my insurance company with this conundrum that happened with Exemplarcare in November, I was advised to ask for a "Billing Audit", so I sent a message through my portal requesting this document and stated that I believed that 2 business days should be ample time to send this document. Later, on Friday, I got an email from the VP of member services stating that if I did not cease communications with the office, [she] was going to seek legal action. Now I assume this means that they are refusing to provide me with that information... I have attached a picture of that e-mail to this comment. Not a great experience in the end! UTA: I just noticed that a staff member wrote their own review in an attempt to sway the overall rating of this place. It's pretty pathetic that a "professional" place of business would need its own employees to write false reviews; this is cheating and if they will cheat for a review the just think about the level of pettiness they take in your care and how they would take great ease in spreading any number of patients business anywhere they please. so Seriously and incredibly pathetic!!!!!!

Avoid this clinic at all costs…read more From the moment I walked in, it was clear that patient care is not a priority here. The receptionist was shockingly rude, dismissive, and completely unhelpful. She acted like answering basic questions was an inconvenience and moved at an unreasonably slow pace despite the office being completely empty. An empty waiting room should have been a red flag--and after reading other reviews, it's obvious this place has a pattern of poor service. This was not a one-off bad day; it's how they operate. To make matters worse, they seem more focused on overcharging than actually helping patients. There was little to no effort to work with insurance, which feels intentional and predatory. If you value your time, money, and basic respect, go anywhere else. This clinic does not deserve your business.

The sign posted in their office (not online when you make your appointment) "As part of our OFFICE POLICY patients with HDHPs who have not met their deductible may be asked to pay $125 AT TIME OF SERVICE AS AN ESTIMATED IN-PATIENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR IN-CLINIC VISITS." DN used to be great place to get care when I couldn't get an appointment with my family doctor or if I (or a family member) needed to see someone on a weekend. Next time I'm sick, I will be avoiding DN like the plague. The nurse and doctor were great. Dude at the front desk has clearly been scarred by the ire of people realizing the insane money grab...comes off as smug, but I'm sure he is the lucky guy who gets the brunt of the complaints.

Family practice at waukee and west des moines are the worst. There are good doctors at Iowa clinic…read more I've been going there for a long time. But smith in waukee is absolutely unthinkable. 3 times this doctor verbally abused me, shouting and making false accusations repeated over and over again. Then, she gets the current doctor scholz involved by spreading rumors and lying. I went for a med check, and scholz brings up medication that wasn't what she told me she was going to change. Then she picks up a bunch of papers, waves them in the air and said, what is this? If I had my wits about me, I would have said you acting crazy. This is a very immature gossipy bunch of women. I doubt that i'm the only one smith has verbally abused. If you were verbally abused by smith in waukee or west des moines put your note in here, the more people tell the less it's gonna happen. Neither of these doctors understands what FM LA is or how it works or what accommodations ate Or how those work, they'd rather gossip and come up with their own weird imaginations. Remember everyone's behavior is their own choice including doctors. Smith eventually kicked me out of her clinic because I was five minutes late. The rule is ten minutes. I've waited for her up to an hour.

However, his nurse Helene is horrible! She asked me if I knew what diarrhea was I have low back pain and Bulging herniated disc and I was going to PT and at the age of 52 with two kids I'm pretty sure I know what diarrhea is. Also, I had to get a referral to the ENT which she never called me after three weeks. I made my own appointment. Also they scheduled an appointment for an MRI for my lower back. I had to wait for it to come in the mail and schedule my own MRI appointment. And it was approved two weeks prior to that so don't count on the nurse to make your appointments and they're horrible at responding. After I had my MRI on February 21 I seen Dr. and he was very good and kind And his nurse was nice. However he did write a note for me to return to work after disability for only 24 hours which reduced my work time and then I lost my medical benefits, life insurance, and short-term disability and long-term disability. I've been asked for Multiple times for them to change my note because I only go twice. I don't need two days off a week which is 14 hours eight hours each day to go to a physical therapy appointment and they would not change my note. So I kept calling and sending notes in the portal and nurse promised to call me back I had four panic attacks because I didn't lose my benefits. She promised to call me back and never did after my physical therapy appointment. I went into the office and Dr. Jay's nurse had a complete attitude with me and made me sit there for two hours and was shaking her head at me and wrote all of my medical a note instead of saying, please allow the patient to return to work but give her time to go to appointments. I absolutely appalled that they would disclose all of my medical records and every appointment that I've been to and my personal information. This violated my HIPAA and I told her that and she told me that once she handed my note to me that it was up to me if I wanted to disclose this to my employer. I had no other give it to my if my benefits back. The there are terrible! I would not recommend going there if you need I don't know what's wrong with our healthcare system, but this is not how you treat people who need help!

I had my first colonoscopy today at 52 yrs old. I had a huge amount of anxiety with it for a…read morecouple of reasons. My heart rate and blood pressure reflected that anxiety. Let's call the first one masculinity issues...I won't go in depth on that, but I think most men get it. Women will think it's stupid because they have things done that are way more intrusive. The second one was fear of the results. I've lost friends to cancer, I've seen others fight it and recover, and I know people who live with it currently. It's never a good thing. I started a clear liquid diet at 500 pm on Wednesday. I drank the first half of my prep from 400 pm - 600 pm on Thursday. I had to get up and drink the rest of the prep at 245 am - 445 this morning. Lots of trips to the bathroom and a couple rolls of toilet paper. Drinking the prep was the worst part (and not eating real food for 40+ hrs). I didn't flavor it or anything. It's a little thick and best chased with some water. Check in at 715 am and the procedure was scheduled at 845 am. During the check in you get undressed, gowned up, and they start a fluid IV. Vitals check. In my case they asked a lot of medical history questions at this point too. When it's time you walk to the procedure room, you lay down and they go over the procedure with you, and then the sedation is started. The procedure takes 15 min to an hour or so. Mine took less than 30 min...I think. I don't really remember anything that happened in the procedure room after the doctor (Dr He) discussed the procedure with me. I thought I'd be in a semi-conscious twilight sleep. I was completely out. I don't remember anything until I was in recovery. You are required to have a driver because of the sedation. I'm glad my gf was there because I don't even remember some of what was said in recovery. I had no discomfort. Then you get dressed and go home... We were in the car by 1000 am. Bottom line it really wasn't that bad and I'm not sure why I was so worried. If you suffer from the same fears that I do/did. Don't. Having fears is normal and okay, but don't sacrifice your own health because of them. It's a necessary screening process as we age. Oh by the way. Clean bill of health. No polyps... The service I received from everyone here was no less than stellar from scheduling to intake to recovery. A real class act!
