Communities We ServeWhat are physicians saying?
Working in a multi-specialty clinic with access to primary care and various specialists to collaborate with, the small town community, desire to stay in the Midwest, and the friendly and competent colleagues were all factors that aligned perfectly. It was an easy decision to make. I can’t ask for a better practice setting and have been very happy working here.
Why I love Mankato: Mankato has been a great place to raise my children. They were able to try out various extracurricular activities.Mankato has also been a great place for my personal and professional growth. I am proud to have taken up running. As a bonus, I do not need to spend a lot of time driving, due to the size of the town and light traffic.

I liked the culture of the clinic, was impressed by the people here – from my fellow physicians to support staff, nurses, information technology, electronic health records and so many others. I stay at the Mankato Clinic because I love it.
