IVY R. MELGAREJO, M.D.

Dr. Melgarejo’s love for helping people is what inspired her to pursue a medical degree. She was raised in the Philippines and knew at a very young she wanted to become a Doctor. In her free time, Ivy enjoys hiking, biking, and is now learning how to rollerblade. We are excited to have Dr. Melgarejo here at Iowa Kidney Physicians. She will be a great asset to our medical clinic and it's patients.

Prior to entering medical residency, she briefly worked as an emergency humanitarian response doctor for Doctors Without Borders and Save the Children and as a research doctor for the Philippine Cardio Genomics Project. She trained in the beautiful island of Hawaii for Internal Medicine and went to Pittsburgh for Nephrology and Transplant Nephrology.
