This was my first visit with him. He seemed quite certain how I needed to change my water consumption in order to fix my low blood pressure. I have followed his recommendation for 3 weeks, which has not fixed my condition .

we hope he stays in the Iowa Heart system for a while, there have been so many changes. I previously doctored in Fort Dodge office, but all my physicians ended up leaving so I decided to stay with Stephanie in the Ames office as I was referred to EP several years ago. Always helps to have a familiar face that you know.......
