At the Park Nicollet Women’s Center, we offer a wide range of women’s health services. Many times, we can coordinate your appointment so you can get care for multiple health care needs in one, convenient location.

We’ll help you stay on top of important women’s health screenings at every age. And from birth control to prenatal care to menopause, we offer care for every stage of your life. We also provide expert surgical services and offer additional specialty services as well, including lab services, ultrasounds, mammograms, eye care, acupuncture, massage therapy and mental health services.

Types of services we offer

Our women’s health experts are here to make sure you get the care you need. We offer a wide range of services from preventive care to specialty visits.

Our team includes OB-GYN doctors, nurse practitioners and certified-nurse midwives who’ll partner with you to provide personalized, prenatal care and support through labor and delivery. We care for all types of pregnancies, including high risk, cesarean birth and vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).

We deliver at the Family Birth Center at Methodist Hospital. This modern, comfortable birth center includes private delivery rooms, spa-like water birth suites and large postpartum rooms where you and your partner can rest and recharge.

Gynecology

Our gynecologists can help you with preventive care, contraception and permanent birth control options. We’re available to treat all gynecologic concerns, including heavy periods and pelvic pain.

If needed, our gynecologists can perform minimally-invasive surgeries and other procedures, including laparoscopic hysterectomies, tubal ligation and more. Many procedures can be performed in-office.

Urogynecology, incontinence and pelvic floor disorders

We know that it’s common for patients to feel hesitant about getting help for pelvic floor issues. Our team of urogynecologists has expertise in caring for sensitive issues like urinary and fecal incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse.

We offer the latest in non-surgical and surgical treatment options, including da Vinci robotic surgery. Our team also includes physical therapists who specialize in treating pelvic floor disorders.

Gynecologic cancer care

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed after a cancer diagnosis. At the Women’s Center, we’ll guide you through every step of your evaluation, treatment and recovery. Our experts are here to answer all your questions and develop personalized treatment plans for your unique needs. We treat cancers that affect the reproductive system, including ovarian cancer, uterine cancer and cervical cancer.

Menopause management

Menopause is a normal stage of aging that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. During menopause, the ovaries stop releasing eggs and producing as much of the hormone estrogen. This change causes women to stop getting their periods. Menopause also causes symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, vaginal dryness and trouble sleeping.

Our women’s health experts will work with you to create a personalized management plan to make your transition to this stage of life as smooth as possible. We offer non-hormone alternatives, as well as hormone therapy options that can help you feel more comfortable, including creams, skin patches and pills.

Mental Health

We know that mental health is just as important as physical health. At the Park Nicollet Women’s Center, treatment is available for mental health issues related to women, including anxiety, depression and postpartum depression. We also support your emotional health through pregnancy loss, menopause, infertility and other issues women commonly face.

Eating disorder treatment

An eating disorder is a mental health condition that significantly impacts food decisions, self-image and everyday activities. Eating disorders can affect anyone of any age or gender. No matter how long you’ve struggled with an eating disorder, it’s never too early or too late to get help.

Experts from Park Nicollet Melrose Center are available to treat all eating disorders including binge eating, anorexia, bulimia and more. Together, we’ll work with you to heal your relationship with food.

Treatment for vulvovaginal diseases and disorders (VVD)

At the Women’s Center, our team includes women’s health experts who are specially trained in treating VVD. We see patients for specific conditions, including chronic bacterial and yeast infections, and skin conditions such as Lichens Sclerosus and Lichens Planus. We’ll work with you to create a unique treatment plan to help manage your symptoms.

Eye care

Keeping our eyes healthy is an important part of our overall wellness. We provide eye exams so you can get your vision tested, keep your lens prescription current and treat common eye conditions like blurry vision, cataracts and dry eyes.

Lab and ultrasound

Lab and ultrasound services are also available at the Women’s Center. We perform many types of common tests and screenings, including mammography. Same-day appointments are often available. If you’d like to coordinate your appointments, please call 952-993-3282.

Integrative Therapies

We offer holistic services, including acupuncture and massage therapy. We also have a functional medicine clinician on our team who practices alternative medicine.

The Women’s Center was created to be a relaxing space where you can enjoy local artwork or take in sweeping views of the wetlands of Minnehaha Creek.
