William (Trae) Ingram, MD

"Dr. Trae Ingram believes medical care should fit into your life, not disrupt it. Intentionally limiting the practice to a few hundred patients creates time to focus on medical care, especially preventative care. After spending 8 years building a large and successful practice in eastern Iowa, Dr. Ingram is excited for the opportunity to develop a concierge medicine practice focused on restoring the doctor-patient relationship in Des Moines. Trae was born and raised in Iowa and after completing his medical training, he took a position in Family Medicine at Medical Associates, a multi-specialty group in Clinton, Iowa. He was known for his work in the community especially in the area of sports. While there he served a large and successful practice. The desire to develop his own family medicine practice in an environment more conducive to restoring the doctor patient relationship brought him back to the Des Moines area. Trae’s medical interests include; chronic disease management, preventive health and wellness, healthy aging, bioidentical hormone replacement, weight management, travel medicine and sports medicine. His undergraduate degree was a bachelor of science in Exercise Science from University of Sioux Falls, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. While there he competed in intercollegiate athletics. His medical education started at Saba University School of Medicine Netherlands, Antilles. Residency was at Broadlawns Medical Center University of Iowa. There Trae served as Chief Resident during his training. Trae holds privileges at Iowa Methodist and Mercy Hospitals. He is a member of the American Academy of Private Physicians as well a diplomat of the American Board of Family Medicine."

"Concierge Medicine is a contemporary approach to the doctor/ patient relationship. Long waits, impersonal visits are replaced with same day visits and the doctor’s private cell phone number. The visits take as long as needed to address your concerns. The concierge style physician becomes your single source for all things medical. Your personal physician is a trusted friend and advocate, fully prepared to help you navigate the increasingly complex health care system. In the event of emergency or hospital care, you are closely monitored and care is discussed with the specialist involved. Concierge medicine is an approach to providing primary care in which the patient submits an annual or monthly fee (see our fees here) or retainer to the physician directly, which removes added expense, excess paperwork, privacy issues and undesired influence over your medical care, allowing the doctor to focus completely on providing direct access and more personalized care."
