Heather Block, PA-C

Family Medicine

“The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease. -William Osler”

What brought you to the area?

Originally from South Dakota, I cam to Minnesota for PA school and quickly fell in love with the state and its people. From the moment I arrived, I knew Minnesota would become my new home. I’m drawn to the Midwest charm, the abundant opportunities to explore the great outdoors, and the welcoming, vibrant communities that make this place truly special.

Do you have any special areas of interest in medicine?

My primary medical interests lie in utilizing my hands-on procedural skills and delivering compassionate care to the geriatric population.

What would you like your patients to know about your approach to patient care?

I value mutual respect, clear communication, and a straightforward approach in delivering patient care.

What can patients expect when they meet/see you in the exam room?

Patients can expect a nonjudgmental approach, respect for their privacy, and genuine empathy.
