A new direction in Women’s Health Care

In 2012, we opened our newly named and newly renovated clinic, Women's Health Specialists Clinic at University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview. Our clinic is designed to provide comprehensive care to women of all ages, offering you an “all-in-one” resource for all your healthcare needs.

We've assembled a first-class team of providers to implement a new model of collaborative and integrative medicine for women. A multidisciplinary team of providers from University of Minnesota Physicians has joined together to offer services in a unique woman-centered environment conveniently located on University of Minnesota Medical Center campus – West Bank. Our physicians and advance practice nurses, who also serve as faculty at the University of Minnesota, are specialists in women’s health, focusing on the whole person and making use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches and disciplines so you can reach your goal of achieving optimal health and well being.  

Understanding your unique needs and valuing your preferences

As our patient, we believe you are the most powerful player on your health care team. We encourage open communication and a provider-patient relationship based on mutual trust and respect. Knowledge is key, and our goal is to provide you with solid, factual information about your body and your concerns. Together we’ll develop a comprehensive preventive and/or treatment plan that provides you with the best possible outcomes.
