No children under the age of five will be allowed for any visit at MN Perinatal Physicians, following Allina Health policy.

Appointments for imaging will only allow two visitors at a time to ensure our sonography team can focus on performing complex imaging.

Not feeling well? If you have a fever or known contagious illness, please call the office and talk with our nursing staff to determine if you should keep your appointment or reschedule.

Minnesota Perinatal Physicians is a hospital-based clinic, which means both a facility fee and doctor's fee may be billed for visits. If you see more than one doctor in a specialty clinic, you may receive bills from more than one practice. Upon request, we will provide you with a list of potential billing codes that may be used for your visit based on services performed. We cannot guarantee all codes will be known prior to your visit. Please contact your insurance provider to discuss coverage.
