About Us
Our Clinic
For over 40 years, Northeast Iowa Family Medicine & Residency has been caring for patients and teaching Resident Family Physicians in the Cedar Valley.
Nearly half of the Cedar Valley’s family practice physicians have graduated from our program. We are sponsored by MercyOne Waterloo Medical Center. We refer to and see our own hospital patients at both sites when you find yourself in the hospital.
Our Faculty Physicians have many years of combined clinical experience and clinical appointments with the University of Iowa, Carver College of Medicine. Our Resident Physicians have graduated from medical schools as an MD or DO and spend three years with us learning the specialty of family medicine.
Family Physicians are trained to address any patient and any issue that walks through our door. We help kids grow from newborn through toddler and school years before transitioning to adulthood.
We assist adults with healthy living or wellness, address acute illnesses, and diagnosing and treating chronic diseases as they develop. We also treat mental health concerns and addiction issues. We offer 17 Physicians, 1 Physician's Assistant, a Medical Social Worker, and 1 Pharmacist. We offer onsite labs, x-ray, and many other services.
We pride ourselves on getting to know our patients and constantly striving to improve the care the we provide. We offer same day and walk up appointments and have a physician on call 24 hours a day to help you decide what to do next even outside of clinic hours. Come see us today and let us provide you with, what we feel is, the best care in the Cedar Valley.

Our Research
The Northeast Iowa Medical Education Foundation started conducting clinical research in 1992 as initiated by Dr. John Sutherland. We have participated in over 120 clinical trials, enrolling over 1,350 patients since 1992. The Foundation established the research department to allow our patients and providers to participate in clinical research protocols. We have found that participating in clinical research helps us provide excellent patient care.
The department’s focus has been to identify protocols for conditions which are relatively common, and which may be of direct interest and benefit to our patients. Our patients have benefited by receiving study provided medications, screening labs, tests such as blood pressure readings, and medical equipment such as glucose monitors. Such participation allows patients to learn more about their medical conditions and contribute to the accumulation of medical knowledge as a whole.
