    I was there last week so have had time to think about the visit. It bothers me. You don't feel that great if you are going there and he did tell me I am late enough in my life span (old person) to take time to delve into my issue. Although I do have lupus per byopsy and that was what I wanted dealt with. I wanted blood work to see if I had more than one kind. Didn't get it. He was interested in other issues that are currenty not causing me problem. My guess is that must have irritated him. Got nothing accomplished and second time this year a Dr. has said they didnt want to spend to much time since I am older. An older person can live many more years a younger one drop dead so shouldn't be deciding when someone is going to die. Wouldn t not recommend the place!

    I can’t give this clinic enough stars. They are exactly what health care providers should be. They listen to your concerns, explain things clearly and work with you to address the many issues that go along with having a chronic illness.

    I always have a positive experience at Iowa Arthritis And Osteoporosis Center. Dr Ronkar takes the time to listen and then explain clearly the plan of action he feels is necessary. I truly appreciate him as well as the way IAAOC treats patients. Never a long wait anywhere. Very caring and efficient.
