Arpan Patel, MD joined The Iowa Clinic to be part of a multi-specialty medical practice. Working with primary care physicians and surgeons allows for a more collaborative environment and ultimate transparency in patient care. Originally, Dr. Patel completed his residency in anesthesiology but quickly found he missed the follow up other physicians had with their patients. He refocused his specialty to pain management where he was able to obtain that same continuity of care. He considers implementing treatments and seeing patients receive functional benefits the most rewarding part of his job.

What Patients Say
Patient Testimonials
“Dr. Patel has administered corticosteroid epidurals regularly, 2-3 times a year, over the past 4-5 years. His precise approach has always provided relief, which has eluded others. I walk upright and pain free 95% of the time thanks to these injections. I "almost" look forward to these session which are always conducted with welcome, calm and sincere interest in my situation - both personal and medical. He is quite the asset to the Clinic and Des Moines and we have every intention of continuing to travel here to see him.”
— Colyn Roberts
“The BEST at Pain Management delivery of care than any other in this area. I was terrified going in today for a Spinal Stimulator, but Christine was so informative prior to the procedure and then Dr Patel walked me through everything! No pain with the procedure. Dr.Patel is so personable, professional and genuinely caring towards me. It's easy to ask questions without feeling belittled and I learn something new every visit with him. Thank you Dr Patel and Christine . My husband and I truly respect and appreciate you!!”

“Dr Patel gave me injections for 3 years and they were effective until they weren't. I don't know why. He tried a trigger injection at my request but that didn't eliminate the pain either. His nurse told me there was nothing else he could do for me. I was devastated. I'm seeing another pain doctor to appeal the denial for another injection. Possibly a pain pump if that doesn't work. Dr Patel never suggested a pain pump but just blew me off. He's a pain doctor but can't help me?”
— Cherrie Giles
“Whether you have an opinion of the Hippocratic Oath or the Geneva Declaration or not-- Dr Patel exceeds these classic medical oaths by practicing his consistent outstanding standard of patient efficacy where you leave with a renewed sense of patient dignity. I have been referred to numerous specialists and Dr. Patel is at the top of the leader board in delivering true team communication of how a patient's concerns should be immediately addressed which reaffirms his true commitment to the health and well being of all his patients equally across the board. If you don't have someone like a Dr. Patel, regardless of specialty, on your medical team, just maybe -- you should reinvest in someone who truly practices team compassion, and is a champion for your medical well being.”
