About Us
Independent, Local Care Focused on You
Stellis Health is a doctor-owned, independent medical group – not part of a large health system. That means our decisions are made locally by providers who live and work in the same communities we serve. We’re your neighbors.
Building long-term relationships with patients that go beyond charts and appointments, we deliver care that’s shaped by trust, understanding and knowing your story. We partner with a variety of specialists and health organizations to bring you the right care, without unnecessary complexity.
- Local leadership and decision-making
- Care designed around your needs
- Long-term relationships with providers who know you and your family
- High-quality care without the hassle of a large system
About our name
Stellis comes from the Latin word for stars, a reflection of our role watching over the communities we serve. And for more than 75 years, that’s exactly what we’ve been doing across Wright County and beyond.
What started as a small local clinic has grown into a trusted, independent medical group rooted in one simple idea: care should feel personal, accessible, and close to home.
With locations in Buffalo and Monticello, our team of more than 60 providers delivers high-quality primary and specialty care designed around you. From preventive visits to urgent care, we make it easier to get the care you need, when you need it.
Complete Care, Close to Home
Stellis Health brings comprehensive services right to your community, including:
- Primary care
- Women’s health
- Behavioral health
- Urgent care with evening, weekend, and holiday hours
- Preventive screenings and chronic disease management
- Dermatology and skin care
It’s complete care, right here in your community.
A Commitment Beyond the Clinic
Our connection to the community goes beyond medical care. Stellis Health providers and staff live, work, and volunteer in the same neighborhoods as our patients.
We actively support local schools, events, and organizations, and participate in community groups such as Rotary and local chambers. It’s part of who we are and how we care.
Our Story
Our roots in Buffalo date back more than a century, beginning with Dr. John Catlin, who opened a small hospital above a downtown drugstore in 1914. His legacy of local, patient-centered care helped shape what Stellis Health is today.
Key milestones include:
- 1951 – Buffalo Clinic established in downtown Buffalo by Dr. R.M. Sandeen
- 1979 – New Buffalo Clinic built on Highway 25, where it stands today
- 1981 – New Monticello Clinic built on Hart Blvd, where it stands today
- 1995 – Buffalo and Monticello Clinics merge to form one medical group
- 2003 – Buffalo location expanded with skyway to hospital; Medical Skin Care Center opening
- 2016 – Rebranding under one name: Stellis Health
