About

Michael Blaess, DO, is a primary care physician specializing in family medicine at MercyOne East Village Family Medicine in Des Moines. 

 

Dr. Blaess’s philosophy of care is to help patients maintain and improve their health. 

 

I was born at MercyOne hospital Des Moines and grew up in Des Moines. I graduated from Valley High School. After high school, I went to the University of Iowa and graduated with a degree in Biology. I came back to Des Moines for medical school at The University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Sciences College of Medicine, now Des Moines University. I stayed in Des Moines and completed my family medicine residency at Des Moines General Hospital. 

 

I work with a great group of colleagues at MercyOne. I take pride in knowing they are as committed to personalized care as I am.

 

In my free time I live my best life by spending time with my family and riding my bike.
