About Us

 

 

Central Minnesota Neurosciences has been in continuous operation since 1984.  Dr. Jeff Gerdes joined the clinic in 1995 and purchased the practice in August of 2000. Over the years, our staff of specialists has continued to change and grow.  Several of our staff members, however, have been with the clinic for 20 years or more.

Our original clinic was located at 1400 W. St. Germain, in St. Cloud, Minnesota. The practice remained there until June, 2006 when we developed a 40-acre Regional Medical Arts Campus in nearby Sartell. As part of this campus, we built a facility called the Center for Neurosurgery and Spine and invited other spine care providers to relocate to our campus and join us in forming the nucleus of a Spine Center serving all of Central Minnesota. The St. Cloud Spine Center was incorporated as a non-profit entity in April of 2009.  The development of the Spine Center is ongoing.

With a combined staff of three neurosurgeons and three mid-level practitioners we see approximately 2500 new patients per year and our physicians perform more than 1,000 surgical procedures annually, the vast majority of them being spine procedures.
