Jon Kammerer, MD

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Jon Kammerer and his family will be moving to Cresco, where Dr. Kammerer plans to continue his medical practice at the Cresco Medical Clinic beginning August 1, 2007. At this time, Dr. Kammerer is finishing up his Family Medicine Residency at Mercy Medical Center – North Iowa, in Mason City.

Dr. Kammerer is a graduate of Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, with a B.A. in Physics and a graduate of the University of Iowa College of Medicine, Iowa City, with his Doctor of Medicine degree in 2004.

When asked why Dr. Kammerer chose family medicine as his specialty, he responded, “I chose family practice because I enjoyed working with patients of all ages. There is no higher compliment than when a family member sends their loved ones to see you. I also enjoy the continuity in family medicine. It allows for deeper, more fulfilling doctor/patient relationships. I enjoy obstetrics a great deal. It is a privilege to be invited into such a special time in the life of a family. I have delivered over 60 babies and assisted in cesarean sections. I am training to do early OB ultrasounds in the office.”

Dr. Kammerer noted that he was interested in Cresco “because of the opportunity to work with excellent physicians, practice a broad spectrum of medicine, and raise my family in an active and close community. My wife and I enjoy being involved in Bible studies and other church activities. We have an unusually large variety of board games. We also like to camp, read and travel.” Dr. Kammerer and his wife, Lisa, have two sons: Caleb is three and Joseph is one year old. Joseph is their adopted son from Guatemala.
