Get to Know Our Clinic
Lakeview Center for Urology is a single physician practice based in West Des Moines.
The clinic was established in 1995 when Dr. Fawad Zafar relocated to West Des Moines from Pella, Iowa. The organization employs a full-time medical and administrative staff, and a part time CRNA to assist with outpatient sedation procedures.
Our Purpose
Our purpose as an organization is to provide high-quality care to both male and female patients in central Iowa. Our services include the diagnosis and treatment of bladder, kidney, and prostate cancer, interstitial cystitis, chronic urinary tract infections, benign enlargement of the prostate, erectile dysfunction, sexually transmitted diseases, male and female incontinence, male infertility, and male sterilization.
Our Values
Personalized Care: Each patient receives customized care, specific to their diagnosis and situation. We do not take a “one size fits all” approach to the care our patients receive. We treat the diagnosis and treatment of each patient with their individual needs in mind.
Flexibility: We operate our office to meet the needs of the wide variety of patients we serve. We have extended office hours, and accept appointments on Saturdays to accommodate all of our patients. We also accept most major medical insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid (Title 19). If necessary, we will work with a patient’s insurance company to get approval for a procedure.
Timeliness: We do not believe in making a patient wait. Whether it is for an appointment to see the doctor or scheduling a test at another office, we understand that our patients’ time is valuable. In fact, often established patients can be seen the same day they call in with an issue that needs timely attention.
