What Makes Us TIC
The Iowa Clinic culture is one that we've nurtured since our inception. Keeping it upbeat and cohesive is intentional and a large part of who we are. We work and play shoulder-to-shoulder in the clinics, when volunteering in the community and at our many social and team-focused events.
And with a generous PTO allowance, seven paid holidays, stellar benefits and one of the most generous 401(k) employer profit sharing programs in the metro, you can plan for your future while you enjoy your work today.

Mission, Vision & Values
The physicians and staff of The Iowa Clinic are committed to improving the health of patients we serve with care and compassion. Our people, quality and integrity form the cornerstones of our practice. It is our pledge to uphold the duties of our profession as we dedicate ourselves to healing those we serve.
Our Mission
We are dedicated to providing exceptional healthcare as a physician-owned, patient-driven, multi-specialty clinic
Our Vision
To be a leading force for healthy lives in Iowa
Our Values
Our ACTions speak louder than words:
A Accountability: See a need, meet a need. Communicate with transparency. Own your actions.
C Compassion: Show how much we care by making people feel seen and appreciated.
T Teamwork: Work together to deliver the best experience for our patients — and for each other.



Locally Owned, Locally Led
Physician Owned
We are locally owned by doctors living and working in the communities we serve. Why does this matter? Because decisions about patient care are determined by you and your physician, not a larger corporate entity. Independence and control of patient care brought us together in 1994, and it's what keeps us here today. We are proud that our 250+ healthcare providers consistently rank top in quality and outcomes as recognized by Iowa's largest health insurer.
Professionally Managed
At The Iowa Clinic, we believe in letting physicians do what they do best ‐ be physicians. That's why we have a team of highly skilled administrative professionals to assist with the management of our Clinic. From legal to IT to marketing and everything in between, our administrative team is every bit as dedicated as our clinical staff in ensuring our patients have an exceptional experience here at TIC.
