Dr. Clemmons and his assistant were SO kind! He is just the kind of doctor I needed and despite waiting for 8 months for the appointment, was worth every moment he spent with me. He spoke to me kindly and respectfully and was a "down to earth" provider that I highly recommend. So grateful for this appointment!

I always feel like Dr. Clemons listens to me. I also feel like he always know what new treatments are out there for me to try. He is down to earth and talks to me like a person not just a patient. I get anxious about going to the doctor usually, but not when I see him.

Dr. Clemmons and Courtney are always delightful at every appointment and very thorough. Dr. Clemmons is an attentive listener and encourages life style changes on top of medications/treatments. Without his direction I wouldn’t have gotten the correct diagnosis and on the road to feeling much better. They both are great.

I'm not sure I have ever had a better patient experience than with Dr. Clemmons. He always seems to have ample on time allocated for an office visit so you as a patient never feel rushed and thus allows for quality communication. I was in a pretty dark place with my sleep issue when I first visited Dr. Clemmons. I had been seen by several other sleep physician's in Des Moines before we moved back to Ames. Dr. Clemmons was the one that cracked the code on getting me back to a good nights sleep. I can't say enough good about the quality of his care.

Over years of consulting medical professionals, Dr. Clemmons has been the very best. Extremely detailed comments and analysis of all tests that were completed. Plus he explained the results in a way that we could understand. More importantly, he offered options for future treatments so we could make good decisions. Finally, we came up with a plan that is best suited for our family.

I enjoyed meeting Dr. Clemens. He was the first Doctor who understood that I had a hearing loss and spoke up from the very beginning so that I could hear and understand. He gave me a great plan to start help with the Sleep problems that I'm having. I am looking forward to getting going on that.
