Brett Baldwin, DO, FACS joined The Iowa Clinic because of its commitment to exceptional patient care and the ability to maintain incredible physician talent throughout the Clinic. Dr. Baldwin chose Otolaryngology because of his fascination with the anatomy and physiology of the ears, nose, and throat and the unique surgical skillset it requires to operate on the head and neck. He also enjoys the opportunity it has provided to take care of patients from all ages daily. The most rewarding part of his practice is the ability to meet a patient with a severe illness or cancer and help execute a surgical or medical treatment plan to help them regain their wellness and cancer free state once again. A Utah native, Dr. Baldwin now resides in Iowa with his high school sweetheart and their three children. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his family, whether in the outdoors upland game hunting or traveling and exploring new places to eat. If he did not become a provider, he would have chosen to be a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force.
