MENDAKOTA PEDIATRICS is an award winning practice that provides personalized pediatric care for We love our patients and their families!

Care Philosophy

Mendakota Pediatrics provides personalized pediatric care for infants, children, and adolescents in a small family-focused setting. It is our mission to ensure that all of the children we see receive the very best care possible. As pediatricians and as parents ourselves, we know how crucial it is for children to be seen by the same caring and compassionate doctor for both sick and well visits. We believe that this “continuity of care” model is one that is best delivered by small, independent practices like ours. We partner with our families in medical decision-making. We work together with families to find the best subspecialists for children whose medical needs require them. We listen to children and their families' concerns and place those needs above all else. We welcome your questions and look forward to working with you! The Physicians and Staff of Mendakota Pediatrics.

Our Story

Philosophy We know health care is expensive and our families deserve to see a Pediatrician in their own "medical home". We believe that sick children should be seen the same day. We believe that impersonal, monolithic health care systems do not deliver the care families pay for. Relationship We believe that the doctor-patient (and doctor-parent) relationship is the most important factor in providing excellent health care. We believe that neither the insurance companies nor the government should make decisions regarding our children's health care. Training Pediatricians have a minimum 36 months of training completely devoted to the care of infants, children, and adolescents. Family practice doctors average only six months of pediatric training. Nurse Practioners and Physician Assistants, while helpful "physician extenders" in some clinic settings cannot provide the expertise of a Board Certified Pediatrician. Don't be misled by clinics that say they provide "pediatric care" but aren't staffed by Pediatricians. Located just south of St. Paul, we serve the following communities and neighborhoods: West. St. Paul, Mendota Heights, South St. Paul, Inver Grove Heights, Eagan, Woodbury, south Maplewood, Cottage Grove, St. Paul, Highland Park, Mac Groveland, Crocus Hill and Southeast Minneapolis. We also have many families who come to see us who live in Apple Valley, Lakeville and Farmington. We are easily accessed from I-494, I-35E, Hwy 52, Hwy 3 (Robert Trail) and Hwy 110.
