General Practitioners

• Medical Weight Loss
  Our expert pediatricians make rounds at Abbott Northwestern, Fairview Southdale, and Fairview Ridges Hospitals. Depending on which hospital you deliver at, you may meet one of our friendly pediatricians in the hospital or at your first visit to the clinic. Newborns are typically seen in our office within several days of hospital discharge. Your infant will be weighed and measured and given their first post-hospital physical exam. The first visit with one of our pediatricians is the perfect opportunity to ask questions and address any concerns that you have about your baby including weight loss, jaundice, and lactation support.
• Pediatric Care
  Thank you for choosing Southdale Pediatrics, where our health care teams are dedicated to giving your family the best care possible, each and every day.
• Primary Care
  Your pediatrician can assist you in finding an adult primary care doctor who meets your needs or your family and friends might have a great recommendation. It’s important that you choose a new doctor you can trust and feel comfortable with. You can also make an appointment to talk about health concerns and meet your new doctor before making your final decision.
• Family Practice
  As you become a young adult, your responsibilities increase, you become more independent, and you need to learn how to care for yourself to remain healthy as you grow older. A first step in taking a more active role in your health care decisions is to transition from a pediatrician to an adult primary care doctor, such as a family medicine physician or an internist.

• Immunizations
  Immunizations are one of the best preventative medicine practices that physicians have available today. Thanks to vaccines, many of the serious and deadly diseases that plagued children years ago are infrequently seen in the United States today.

Psychiatrists

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  It is our clinic policy that all patients on medication for ADHD are seen in clinic at least every six months for medication checks.
• Depression
• Mental Health
  More than 14 million children and adolescents in the United States, or 1 in 5, have a diagnosable mental health disorder that requires intervention or monitoring and interferes with daily functioning. Our pediatricians have extensive experience evaluating and treating patients who are dealing with these issues.
• Psychiatry
  Our physicians regularly screen and evaluate patients for depression and anxiety. We will refer patients to counseling services when needed and handle medication management as well. Most children and adolescents who deal with depression or anxiety will benefit from seeing a therapist, and we have a wide referral network of psychologists in the Twin Cities. We work closely to provide referral to psychiatry for patients who need a higher level of care. Southdale Pediatrics also has a dedicated team of care coordinators who are here to help.

Allergists

• Allergies
  Board-certified by the American Board of Allergy & Immunology, Dr. Mee Lee Nelson has been practicing since 2006 after completing her residency and fellowship at the University of Minnesota.  A board-certified allergist and pediatrician, Dr. Britta Sundquist joined our practice in late 2018 and has quickly gained a reputation in the local physician community for quality clinical care.
