About

Kenneth Andersen, MD, specializes in family medicine at MercyOne Johnston Family Medicine.

 

Dr. Andersen’s philosophy of care centers around preventative medicine to ensure you and your family are healthy.  

 

Taking care of patients is in my blood. My dad was a family practitioner for 50 years and my uncle was one for 40 years. 

 

Iowa is my home. I love everything it represents. I was born and raised in Eastern Iowa. I graduated from the University of Iowa College of Medicine and completed my residency in family practice at Iowa Lutheran Hospital in Des Moines.

 

I cherish the long-lasting relationships I’ve created with my patients and in my community. Many of my patients I have known for decades, and now I provide personalized care for their children and grandchildren. 

 

I’m a member of the Boy Scouts of America adult leadership in Urbandale and have assisted them in first aid training.

I was advised to come back sometime within the next 3 months for a recheck to do an additional blood test to see how medication is doing.

All great

Dr Anderson always has time to talk to me about any concerns and never is rushing through my appointment. He makes me feel that he is genuinely concerned with my health.

I always prepare what I鈥檓 going to ask about before my visits. I feel like, in a nic way, I鈥檓 only supposed to ask about one thing per visit. I understand the financial side of the medical business from the provider standpoint, but when I have aches and pains that seem in are related, or I have a concern that I want to address, I feel like I need to make a separate appointment each time I have a question in That makes me a little bit uncomfortable. I know Dr. Andersen is just trying to follow the rules and regulations of the clinic while at the same time being a doctor that I can be fully confident in as far as taking care of me. He鈥檚 always been a great job in the past and I would hate to see any company policy begin to interfere with that.
