About Southdale OBGYN

Leslie Newman is a nurse practitioner at Southdale OBGYN in Edina and Burnsville, one of four independent clinics that practice together as Premier Women's Health of Minnesota. Newman has spent an entire career as a nurse practitioner at this practice, and many patients who first came for contraception as young women stayed on through pregnancy and midlife. The provider page lists menopausal care alongside well-woman visits, birth control, bone density testing and in-office procedures. The practice names hormone therapy among the menopause care it provides, and it separately highlights eight clinicians as its menopause and perimenopause specialists, a group that does not include Newman. Newman also has extra training in lactation and infertility and precepts nurse practitioner students at the University of Minnesota. Online booking is open to new patients, and the practice appointment form lets a new patient choose Newman as the provider.
