Ryan Mertens, DO, joined The Iowa Clinic in 2022 because he loves the passion fellow providers and staff have for the Clinic and patient care. Dr. Mertens practiced independently in primary care before returning to fellowship training in Pulmonology at Creighton University. He chose this specialty because of its many modalities. Between the clinic, hospital, and ICU, it provides him with numerous opportunities for patient care. Difficulties with breathing can be a very anxiety provoking and traumatic experience and he finds helping patients in these specific situations to be very gratifying.

Dr. Mertens is an amazing doctor! He helped save my life during an emergency situation and had the expertise and knowledge to make the correct decisions during this emergency. He is very calm and empathetic. My family and I would highly recommend! His team is really great too.
Everyone I at the Pulmonary office was friendly and professional. I was there for a procedure that I wasn't looking forward to, but it ended up being much easier then I thought it would be.
