E. Cristian Campian, M.D., Ph.D.

Pelvic floor disorders, including pelvic prolapse, urinary and bowel incontinence, and pelvic pain, negatively impact the quality of life of many women. After spending more than a decade in large academic centers, in 2022 I jumped on the opportunity to practice in Red Wing. This allowed me to bring specialized care, including urogynecology and minimally invasive surgery, closer to patients in smaller communities.

In our practice, each patient receives a complete evaluation followed by a review of all appropriate medical and surgical options. As one size does not fit all, the patient's preferences are weighed heavily in the decision-making process, allowing us to develop a plan with the best outcomes.

In addition to my clinical practice, I'm active in education and research. I've led numerous national and international workshops focusing on surgical anatomy, minimally invasive surgical techniques and surgical safety.
