Andrea Messina - MD

After completing my training in Obstetrics and Gynecology in New York State I felt very fortunate to have found Park Nicollet Clinic; a place where physicians are able to practice the best health care possible while continuing to grow professionally.  While I enjoy working with women in each stage of their lives, I have found particularly rewarding working with women in perimenopause and menopause. Another area that I am passionate about, and have pursued advanced training in, is minimally invasive surgery.  While many gynecologic challenges can be approached in a medical or non-invasive way, there are certainly times when surgery becomes necessary. The advances made in the last several years in minimally invasive surgery are remarkable, particularly in regards to daVinci robotic surgery.  Whether dealing with heavy periods, fibroids or endometriosis, I have been truly impressed how this type of surgery has benefitted our patients, from outcomes, to recovery and, most importantly, to quality of life.
