About Michael Fazio, DO

Michael Fazio, DO joined The Iowa Clinic after spending six years as a staff radiologist in the U.S. Army Medical Corps and sixteen years in the U.S. Army. He believes the best medical care is offered through partnership with his patients in their healthcare in conjunction with a collaborative approach with many specialists, both of which The Iowa Clinic offers. Radiology is a challenging yet rewarding environment which Dr. Fazio enjoys most of all due to regular interactions with colleagues from many areas of healthcare to provide the best patient care possible.

Prior to joining The Iowa Clinic, Dr. Fazio rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army holding various clinical, leadership and operational positions, most notably as the Deputy Chief of the Department of Radiology at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center where he cared for members of Congress, the White House and foreign dignitaries.
