I love this place. After having a child with heart problems, Dr. Fornoff was there for our family. He went above and beyond to ensure our little girl was taken care of. He answered all our questions and gave us referrals to specialist. The nurses are also amazing with the kids and the staff is super friendly and helpful. I feel they care and we are not just another number to them.

Outstanding service. Dr Fornoff is a physician with great intelligence and is great with our kids. Highly recommend.

Staff is always very friendly. We've been seeing Sally since she was born and love her! She is very good with our 14 month old. Her nurse is great too. I have not had any issues with their vaccination schedule. The follow the standard recommendations. I found that if I didn't want to follow the recommended schedule, talking to a doctor before the birth of my daughter about my wishes would've been necessary to ensure we would be on the same page.

My 16 year old daughter had a baby this last week, and when the doctor from this office stopped by to see her in the hospital she was treated very disrespectfully as if her young age and desires for vaccinations made her stupid. Please keep in mind that she was sleep deprived and had just given birth less than 24 hours before this visit and when the doctor left she called me in tears. My daughter and her boyfriend have worked so hard to prepare for the birth of their child, even taking multiple classes at the hospital (including a class on vaccinations) so they would be educated to make the best possible decisions. They also have a large support group of adults that have helped them to research and prepare for the arrival of their little one. I am disappointed, but at the same time relieved that her newborn will not be in the care of Des Moines Pediatrics.

The doctors and staff at DSM Pediatrics in Ankeny are amazing!! They are always there to answer questions and truly care about their patients. I've never felt rushed and they take time to get to know my children and put them at ease. I can't speak highly enough about the clinic and I'm so thankful we found them!!
