Iowa City-based Steindler Orthopedics opened its eighth location in Cedar Rapids, The Gazette reported Aug. 6.
The new location is the group's second largest and is neary 5,000 square feet, the report said. Cedar Rapids was chosen as a location since it's a popular region for patients to seek care.
"Going to Cedar Rapids makes sense for us," President and CEO Patrick Magallanes said in the report. "A lot of our patients come to Iowa City to be treated. They come from all over Eastern Iowa — they come from Waterloo, they come from Decorah. And what we've been trying to do … is we're trying to bring that first-touch care to the community, rather than people coming to us."
The practice also plans to open an ASC in North Liberty, Iowa, in 2025.
