About

Erin Voelschow, DO, is a primary care physician at MercyOne Urbandale Internal Medicine.

“My philosophy of care is to listen to and be an advocate for my patients, and to work together with them to help improve their health and preventive care,” said Erin. “I enjoy internal medicine because it allows me to work with patients to come up with an individualized plan to help them meet their health and wellness goals.”

Erin is an Iowa native who graduated from medical school in Colorado at Rocky Vista University. She then returned to Iowa to complete her residency at MercyOne Des Moines Internal Medicine Residency.

“One of my interests is women’s health, particularly menopause care. I am working towards obtaining my certification as a North American Menopause Society Certified Menopause Practitioner (NCMP),” said Erin when asked about an area of passion.

Outside of medicine, Erin likes to spend time biking, checking out new restaurants, reading fiction books for fun and watching movies on Netflix.

Only the 2nd time seeing Dr Erin. I like her.

05/18/2026

This was my first visit ever with her, so I can't rate it a 10/10 yet because I haven't built rapport with her yet. That being said, Dr. Voelschow was very kind and listened to my concerns. She offered feedback and supportive options and let me choose which path to try first.

05/08/2026

I am grateful to have Dr. Voelschow as my primary care physician. She is kind, compassionate and caring. She took her time and wasn't rushing me. She indicated several times during my visit that she was willing to address any additional issues I had. Her invitational style of interacting with a patient is a special gift.

I became a patient July 2025 after not having a dedicated PCP for over 10 years. It has been a journey and finally seeing some results. Dr V has done everything and more to help me. Most importantly, I finally have a doctor that listens to me like my former one who retired.
