Mark Steinman, P.A.-C.

Providing patient education is critical to ensure patients know their options and feel supported throughout the surgical and recovery process. I lead this process with compassion and active listening to meet the individual needs of patients with the goal of a healthy outcome and an overall increase in quality of life.

As far back as I can recall, medicine and surgery have always been my passion. I began my medical career with Mayo Clinic back in 2011 in the Emergency Department and now currently serve as a Physician Assistant in the field of General Surgery. My experiences in the Emergency Department early on in my career inspired me to continue on to earn my degree as a Physician Assistant at Des Moines University, in Des Moines, IA. I am passionate about the work I engage in each day and committed to the health and wellness of each patient I serve.

On a personal note, I was born and raised in rural Minnesota. I am married and a proud uncle to my niece and nephews. In the limited spare time that I have, living near family allows me to spend quality time with them, which is time that I highly value. In addition, my wife and I love to travel any chance we get. I also enjoy being outdoors, biking, running, and golfing.
