About VirtualMed Iowa

VirtualMed Iowa offers full-spectrum primary care — both in-office in North Ames and virtually across Iowa — with a special focus on women’s health and pediatrics.

Founded by Rachel Frederick, PA-C, an experienced physician assistant and mom, our clinic makes healthcare more personal, accessible, and consistent for busy families.

With over 12 years of experience in pediatrics, acute care, and family medicine, Rachel is passionate about building lasting relationships and helping patients feel heard and understood. We care for everyday health concerns — coughs, colds, constipation, sleep, lactation, and more — as well as women’s health needs like contraception, midlife care, and hormone support.

For kids, we provide both preventive and sick care, ensuring continuity when appointments elsewhere aren’t available.

Whether you prefer the convenience of virtual visits or the connection of in-person care, we’re here to make healthcare simple, supportive, and centered around you.

At VirtualMed Iowa, our mission is to break away from constraints of the traditional health care model, by providing compassionate quality care from the comfort of your home. We believe every family should have access to the care they need without causing further disruption to their day. We are revolutionizing the way we care for young families, transforming your living room into your waiting room.

Whether you're in need of guidance on various health concerns, our telehealth consultations provide personalized, one-on-one discussions tailored to your unique needs. This approach not only saves you time and travel but also ensures timely access to expert advice and guidance. In a supportive and discreet telehealth setting, we can address your health concerns, offer diagnostic insights, and develop a customized plan for enhancing your overall well-being.
