- Family PracticeMercy Family Health Line: When dealing with an unfamiliar ailment after-hours, you can call the Mercy Family Health Line, a free health information service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call 641.422.7777 or 1.800.468.0050.
- Emergency CareVideo Visits aka Telemedicine Video Visits are for established patients with simple problems that can be diagnosed without a full exam (for example, colds, sinus infections, urine infections, rashes, some ear aches and sore throats). It saves you the trouble of coming to the office (or going to Convenient Care/Urgent Care), and it saves the community from being exposed to your germs.
- ImmunizationsGather and complete important documents prior to your appointment, including forms, previous medical records, immunization records, and insurance cards (call us to make sure we accept your insurance carrier) and map out the clinic. This prior preparation will help you focus on your health at the time of your visit (and help keep your blood pressure low when we check it).
- ObstetricsDr. Kies doesn't do obstetrics anymore, and we can't do X-rays in the office, but we can order expedited X-rays at the hospital and draw your blood.

- Sports MedicineI am interested in many aspects of medicine - pediatrics, sports medicine, palliative care, military medicine, ethics, spirituality, wellness and preventive care. I want to be a holistic practitioner, a true partner with my patients to improve all the facets that impact their health.
- Back Pain
- Ankle SprainWe set aside 15-20 minutes for a standard appointment. This is usually enough time to deal with one or two simple problems: a sore throat, ear infection, sprained ankle, rashes, or bladder infections. It is NOT enough time for more complex problems such as abdominal pain, chest pain, new headaches, chronic cough, fatigue/weakness, sleep problems, or to deal with multiple concerns. So please let us know if you might need extra time when you make an appointment (or when we make the reminder call) so we can give you the attention you need without being rushed or inconveniencing the patients who come after you.
