Welcome to Elle L. Kalbfell, MD
Dr. Kalbfell will be seeing patients at our Colon & Re**al Surgery - Edina & Maple Grove locations.

“As a colorectal surgeon, I believe that good care goes beyond the operating room — it’s about listening, being present, and making sure every patient feels supported and understood. I take the time to explain things clearly and welcome questions, because I want my patients to feel informed and comfortable every step of the way.

My approach is to work side by side with each person, creating a plan that not only reflects the best medical evidence but also what matters most to them. At the heart of it all, my goal is to provide safe, compassionate, and personalized care that helps people heal, feel better, and get back to living the life they love."
