  My father had two amputation done with this clinic. The first one went fine. 2 years later the toes became hammer toed and caused sores which than the doctor recommended two more toes needed to come off. 11/11/25 he had the amputation. By 11/16/25 he was admitted to the hospital for have MRSA in his blood stream. (The surgery was in Waukee) On 1/21/26 my father passed away. He was diabetic and during his stay his A1C were perfect. So he should've healed. But the MRSA had done it's damage and he could no longer walk. (They had to remove MRSA off his spinal cord and lower back from where it seeded) Now I dont know where the MRSA come from. But MRSA can take 1 to 10 days to show up. And he was sod infected that it was in his blood. So the only deduction was that my father got MRSA from the surgery center they used. I called Iowa Clinic to inform them but they didn't seem to concerned. He was at a hospital now not their hands. There was no reason for my father to pass away. Other than the doctor didn't start him on antibotics as soon as the surgery was over. Like he had the previous amputation. But no one will take responsibility for what happened to him. They will just say he was old and diabetic. What a sorry excuse. His last 3 months of life was total h.e.ll for him. The pain the suffering he went through was out of this world! I hope you can sleep better at night. (By the way his foot did heal) despite you thinking it wouldnt. I would not recommend the Wakuee Surgery Center that Iowa Clinic uses. Make them go to a proper hospital.

  My son had surgery for an infected ingrown toenail. We were assured by the surgeon that after having this procedure to remove part of the toenail, this would never be an issue again. He was in a lot of pain directly after the surgery, and we called in to get advice. We were given different post-surgery care instructions from different doctors at the clinic. Despite informing the doctor at follow up appointment that he was still in a lot of pain, and the toenail appeared to be ingrown again, we were assured it was healing properly and would just be more sensitive for a while. Fast forward to now, the toenail is infected, appears worse than it did before the surgery, and my teenager won’t trust a doctor again to look at it. We will definitely be trying an entirely different clinic. I do not recommend this clinic.

  They just care about profit. They don’t care about helping people. DO NOT GO HERE.

  The worst doctor I ever met works there. A simple planter wart removal turned into an 8-month ordeal of infections and pain.

  Go see Dr. Hall. She's pretty great.
