About

Originally from Springfield, Illinois, I attended Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois for my undergraduate degrees in Biochemistry and Spanish. I completed my medical school at Des Moines University in Iowa. I then completed my intern year of Family Medicine residency at MercyOne in downtown Des Moines. I transferred to Tulsa, Oklahoma to be closer to family and finished my Family Medicine residency at Oklahoma University Health Science Center. We have since moved back to Iowa and are happy to be home.

When I’m not taking care of my patients and their families, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our dog, traveling, reading, and cooking.

Very good

It was obvious that Dr. Vande Zande had spent time reviewing my medical history before our meeting. She asked relevant questions and spent time getting to know me. She suggested I get blood work done so escorted me back to the lab and before 8:00 the next morning, she sent me feedback via MyChart on the results. I feel comfortable and confident moving forward with her as my primary care physician.

I have always been a person with that silly old white-coat anxiety when visiting any doctor. I appreciate her understanding this character flaw and continually trying to help alleviate this fear!

Dr seems knowledgeable and explained what was recommended for treatment

Feedback is important and I am giving with the intention to help. I will continue having her as my family doctor.

Dr Vande Zande is a compassionate physician and a great listener to understand all of my concerns.

05/21/2025

Could have taken more time with me. She did not even have me sit on the table to listen to my heart or anything. Only talked to me sitting in a chair.

Great

She always takes the time to listen, I never feel like I鈥檓 being rushed out of the office, I always feel like a valued person and not just a number coming and going.
