Deer Creek Family Care, an
affiliated clinic of Grinnell Regional Medical Center, announces the addition
of Polly J. Hineman, DO, and Daryl C. Allison, PA-C, to the Toledo primary care
clinic. They will join Sherry Parks, PA-C, and Roy Doorenbos, MD, who serves as
the supervising physician in the clinic.
The providers will shift their
practice to Deer Creek Family Care, 401 First Ave., Toledo, and welcome current
patients to the new clinic. Allison will begin seeing patients in early July
and Hineman will begin in August.
“Dr. Hineman and Daryl Allison
have well-established practices with years of experience. They have a stellar
reputation and strong patient following. I believe they will be an excellent
addition to the Deer Creek Family Care clinic staff and Grinnell Regional’s medical
staff,” says Todd C. Linden, GRMC president and CEO. “Current patients of Dr.
Hineman and Daryl will not need to seek a new provider or travel for care. We
will welcome them at the Deer Creek Family Practice and GRMC.”
As an adult medicine (internal
medicine) specialist, Hineman has served the Tama and Toledo area for more than
25 years. She originally began practicing in Toledo and Marshalltown in 1991.
She earned her medical degree from University of Osteopathic Medicine and
Health Sciences (now called Des Moines University) and a bachelor’s degree from
Iowa State University. Her residencies were at Des Moines General Hospital, Des
Moines; and Bon Secours Hospital, Grosse Pointe, Mich. She is board certified
in internal medicine and general practice. She is an FAA certified Aviation
Medical Examiner.
“I appreciate the opportunity
to continue to serve the people of Tama County,” Hineman says. “I am
excited to join Deer Creek and the GRMC team.”
Allison has also served the
Tama and Toledo area for more than 25 years. He began practicing in 1977 after
earning his physician assistant degree from the University of Iowa. He is a
longstanding member of the Iowa Physician Assistant Society, the American
Academy of Physician Assistants, and the National Commission for Certification
of Physician Assistants. Allison also served three years in the U.S. Air Force
during the Vietnam War.
“I am looking forward to the
opportunities provided by joining the Deer Creek team for my patients and
myself. And, I would hope to see all of my current patients and meet many of
the current patients at Deer Creek, in absence of their care provider. I would
love to see the original concept of the Deer Creek Health Center realized,
which would be very beneficial to our patients. The reputations of Sherry
Parks, Roy Doorenbos, and the Deer Creek and GRMC teams are well respected and
well known to the area.”
Parks concurs with the
anticipated benefits of adding new providers.
“I’m looking forward to Dr.
Hineman and Daryl Allison joining the clinic team,” says Parks, who has been
with the Deer Creek Family Care clinic since 2001. “Practicing with multiple
providers allows greater opportunities. It’s a leap toward our original goal
for this clinic of having primary care and specialists in one location so
residents could remain local and not travel for healthcare. We have a wonderful
community and with the addition of providers to our clinic, we will recruit more
specialty providers and services.”
This expansion of specialty care
includes Surgical Associates, which has committed to offering surgical
consultations and exams with Matthew Severidt, DO, general surgeon, and
Elizabeth Tigges, DO, gynecology and obstetrics specialist. Currently, Matthew
McKnight, DPM, podiatrist, and Lauren Graham, MD, internal medicine specialist,
see patients at the facility on a regular basis. GRMC is working with other
providers to add specialists to the center.
“This really is part of our
vision with GRMC to expand services into the area and serve residents,” Linden
says. “The Deer Creek Health Center is a wonderful facility to accommodate
health services. We feel the stars are aligning for a successful future.”
