Being straight about the drive
Is thirty five minutes worth it from Fairfax?
Only if what is waiting at the other end is genuinely different from what is available closer to home. Fairfax sits near Cedar Rapids, which has plenty of general healthcare. What it has less of is a clinic where neuropathy is the specialism rather than one line on a services list.
Dr. Mohamed Karim is board certified in Chronic Intractable Pain and Neuropathy through the American College of Physical Medicine, and in Functional Neurology through the American Functional Neurology Institute. Sensation, balance, reflexes and circulation are measured at the first visit and repeated later, so there is a defined point where we look at the numbers together and decide whether to continue, change the plan, or stop.
If a closer clinic can offer you the same assessment and the same honesty about outcomes, take it. We would rather say that plainly than pretend distance does not matter.
What the assessment involves
The basics
What neuropathy looks like, and what causes it
Burning or electric pain in the feet, worse in the evening. Numbness in the soles or fingertips. A sensation of walking on gravel or in socks that are not there. Feet that feel cold to you but not to the touch. Balance that has quietly become less reliable in the dark or on uneven ground. Weakness gripping a jar or turning a key.
Causes
Diabetes and prediabetes account for most cases. Others include chemotherapy, B12 deficiency, thyroid disease, kidney disease, alcohol, autoimmune conditions and nerve compression. Where no cause is found it is called idiopathic neuropathy, and it is still worth assessing.
The assessment
Sensation across feet and hands, vibration and position sense, reflexes and strength, balance and gait, and circulation to the extremities, alongside your history and any bloodwork you already have. Repeated later against that baseline.

Fairfax to North Liberty
From Fairfax the route generally runs east on Highway 30 before picking up I-380 south toward North Liberty, finishing at 1395 Jordan St Unit C. It is about 35 minutes in normal conditions. Parking is free and directly outside, with a level entrance from the lot.
Given the distance, the Monday or Wednesday evening slot, running until 7pm, is worth using. Some patients from Fairfax combine the visit with IV therapy or a sauna session to make the trip count for more. Mention it when you call and we will try to schedule both on the same visit.
Questions
Fairfax patient questions
Is thirty five minutes really worth it?
The consultation is free, so the real cost is the drive. If we are not the right fit, you have lost an afternoon. If we can help, you have found board certified care in a condition that is easy to get a vague answer about closer to home.
Do I need a referral?
No. Call (319) 380-4380 or use the contact page and we will find you a time.
How many visits will treatment take?
It runs as a course rather than a single appointment, with a retest built in. We agree the schedule with you at the consultation, so the commitment is clear before you start.
Can I combine appointments to make the drive worth it?
Often, yes. Patients travelling further sometimes pair a neuropathy visit with IV therapy or an infrared sauna session. Ask when you book.
What else is available at the clinic?
All seven services, including hormone therapy, IV therapy, medical weight loss, Gut Health, ozone therapy and infrared sauna.
