About Danielle Petersen, PA-C
Danielle Petersen, PA-C joined The Iowa Clinic Orthopaedics department in 2025 after being drawn to its provider-owned, multidisciplinary structure that supports a patient-centered approach to care. She chose orthopaedic surgery after experiencing two ACL tears as an athlete, giving her a unique understanding of the challenges patients face during surgery and rehabilitation. For Danielle, the most rewarding part of her job is building strong connections with her patients and supporting them through their treatment journeys to improve their quality of life.
Outside of work, Danielle enjoys traveling, attending workout classes, and spending quality time with family and friends. If she weren’t a healthcare provider, she might have pursed a career as a sports sideline reporter.
