Who We Are

Minnesota Valley Surgery Center was founded in 2006 by a dedicated group of area physicians, looking for a better way to serve their patients. Since our ambulatory surgery center (ASC) opened its doors the mission has been to provide specialized surgical procedures in a high-quality, patient-focused environment that was both comforting and accommodating.

Our mission today remains the same: higher-quality patient care.  Our specialized surgeons remain focused on providing the best for our patients on every level. Minnesota Valley Surgery Center is a 25,486 square foot facility with a much higher patient to nurse ratio than most clinics. You will benefit from our advanced medical technologies and specialized surgeons.  Our highly qualified nursing and technical staff will do everything to ensure you have everything you need throughout your procedure.

We offer private recovery rooms for you and your family.  Our goal is to put you at ease during your visit.  Most procedures are performed by your own physician adding comfort and assurance to your experience.
