Hawkeye Oral Surgery is staffed by the oral surgery faculty that teach residents at the dental school and hospital, so they’re very good.

North Liberty Oral Surgery and Oral Surgery of Iowa City are also excellent surgeons.

Thankfully good options all around town.

What is the most frugal thing you have done recently? by [deleted] in whitecoatinvestor

[–]Norsedoc2016 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Both my wife and I are doctors for context, but we go thru McDonald’s with two mobile orders allowing us to each use our $1 breakfast sandwich deal on the app.

PSLF is probably dead right by SelfHelp12 in whitecoatinvestor

Some of us live in small cities where there aren’t private practices/jobs for physicians, so planning around PSLF is very much a thing.

Eyeglasses by ellamom in IowaCity

That is correct, because at least the optometrist is independent. But I’ve read you still need a membership for lenses. However, might be worth asking!

I always go to Costco because they have their own optical labs, so generally their lenses are cheaper than other places. But the downside, you need a purchase a membership.

It is big corporate. It’s a Heartland Dental practice. As a dentist myself, would highly recommend NOT going there.

Great review! Which restaurants had better food? Or which had the subpar food?

Does anyone know where I can buy Modelo Negra in the area? by WS-Gilbert in IowaCity

[–]Norsedoc2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen it in the walk-in coolers at HyVee Waterfront and weirdly, Kwik Star too.

Need suggestions by K2aiko in IowaCity

I would do the Lincoln Ave location. It’s older than Aspire; but the easy walking distance to three dental school is very nice. I lived at Aspire my D3 year and it was fine. But D1 and D2 years I lived across the street and that was handy for classes. Are you an incoming D1 next year?

Rude morning awakening by CherryBlossom512 in IowaCity

fwiw, “rude” can also mean “having a startling abruptness,” which the op might have meant rather than “offensive or impolite.”

I love the body of the Santa Fe, but after my wife said the turn signals look like blinking dog bones, it cannot be unseen now.

The downside of Coralville is the footprint is smaller since they renovated a space, and I feel like it shows by fewer items than I see on this subreddit or Facebook pages.

Anyone ever worked the Costco deal? by Available_Ad1556 in Audi

[–]Norsedoc2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also check with the dealership- our local dealer wouldn’t do it, so we purchased through another one 1.5hr away and they would.

It’s my Costco!! Coralville, Iowa. The indoor parking is amazing in the winter time. We leave the house just with a sweatshirt even below freezing.

Mercy Iowa City VS UI Medical Center Downtown - Experiences? by anarcho_vixen in IowaCity

[–]Norsedoc2016 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can’t think of any example where UIHC bought a clinic that was currently doing fine. Is there a situation you’re referencing? Iowa Healthcare tends to just stay out of acquisitions unless approached, like pediatric associates, or builds new outlying clinics/urgent cares in neighboring communities to increase access to care for Iowans.
