Partners in Pediatrics

The new Partners in Pediatrics clinic in Rogers opened its doors to patients on August 25th. It is the sixth clinic in the Partners in Pediatrics family. It is located at 13980 Northdale Boulevard, on the southwest corner of Hwy 101 and 141st Street, just north of SuperTarget.

The building is part of Northdale Commons, which will eventually consist of four separate retail/business facilities. The crossroads of I-94 and Highway 101 in Rogers is in the heart of the most rapidly growing corridor in the metro area. We are excited to provide access for families living in Rogers, Ostego, Elk River and the St. Michael/Albertville area.

We are proud to be the first pediatric clinic to practice in the area, and to provide expert, specialized care for children and adolescents. The Rogers office will continue the tradition of all Partners in Pediatrics offices, and provide the full complement of pediatric care for all ages, from newborn to young adult.

The clinic is currently staffed by Naomi Palmer, MD, Andrew Larson, MD and Bill Kunau, CPNP. It is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. After-hours care will still be available at our Maple Grove office on Monday through Thursday evenings and Saturday and Sunday mornings.

If you are interested in scheduling an appointment, call the Rogers office at 763-428-1920.

We are also excited to welcome two new providers to the Partners in Pediatrics family.

Wade Larson, MD, joins us from California. He attended college at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. He then received his medical degree at the University of Minnesota. He worked in general practice in the Air Force before returning to complete his pediatric residency at the University of Minnesota.

He completed his service obligation working as a pediatrician at Travis Air Force Base in 2003. Dr. Larson is board certified in Pediatrics. He sees patients in our Maple Grove office.

Suzanne Strauss, CPNP, may be familiar to many of you. Ms. Strauss has been seeing patients at our Maple Grove office while some of our providers have been away on maternity leave. She graduated with a bachelor of science in nursing from Luther College and a master of science in nursing from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.

She completed her pediatric nurse practitioner education at the College of St. Catherine in 1996. She still teaches there in the graduate nurse practitioner program. She has worked in pediatrics for twenty years and has been a certified nurse practitioner for the last seven years. She has worked in children's hospitals in California, Ohio, Texas and Minnesota.
