To slow the spread of COVID-19, we’re following recommendations of the Minnesota Department of Health and the CDC to care for patients in innovative ways to reduce risks for everyone, including virtual or phone visits when possible.

We will contact all current patients to determine which type of visit is appropriate. New patients, please call 952-460-4446 (for south metro locations) or 952-836-3854 (for north metro locations) to discuss options.

Some in-person appointments may still be appropriate. Please do not come to the clinic without first being screened by phone with our scheduling staff and providers.

Recover, Rebuild, Reclaim. Getting you back in the game of life.
