Daniel Dodge, DO joined The Iowa Clinic because, during medical school, he and his wife spent seven years in Des Moines and loved the city and people in this community. In 2016, while completing his Internal Medicine residency at UnityPoint Des Moines, Dr. Dodge worked closely with our Pulmonary & Critical Care physicians and considered them some of his best mentors.

His interest in the field of pulmonary and critical care comes from his desire to meet the challenges of caring for critically ill patients and their families. The relationships and trust he builds with them are an equally important part of the experience he hopes to provide.

Dr. Dodge grew up in a small rural community in Colville, Washington. He and his wife are excited to be back in Des Moines where they feel “at home.”

Outside of work, he has many interests, which include spending time with his wife, son and their dog, as well as golfing, hunting, camping, shooting sports, and football.
