Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine and Minnesota Monthly have repeatedly named Dr. Beadle as one of the top OB/GYNs in the Twin Cities. Dr. Beadle has also been featured as a top doctor by WCCO TV's Dimension health section. Dr. Beadle delivered thousands of babies while at John Haugen and Associates. He was one of the busiest OB/GYNs in the Twin Cities - a distinction of honor, but at the high cost of family time.

Dr. Beadle co-founded Minnesota Gynecology and Surgery in 2000. The concept of focusing on gynecology and surgery exclusively made sense to him, allowing him to spend more time with his family, while still giving his patients the utmost care and focused attention. This would also allow him to explore innovative in-office procedures - an area pioneered by Minnesota Gynecology and Surgery and nationally recognized as well.

Dr. Beadle received his medical degree from the University of Minnesota in 1982, and completed his residency at the University of Minnesota. He is also a Clinical Assistant Professor of OB/GYN at the University of Minnesota. He is accredited in advanced hysteroscopy and laparoscopy by the Council for Gynecologic Endoscopy and belongs to the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscoptics.

He and his wife Patty have a college-aged son, Michael, and two daughters in high school, Amy and Molly. Now that his pager isn't going off 24/7, Dr. Beadle is thrilled to be able to enjoy an entire basketball game or school concert with his family.

Philosophy
"My focus is general gynecology and gynecologic surgery with special interest in abnormal uterine bleeding, the evaluation and treatment of incontinence, chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis and infertility. I've had the opportunity to travel the world performing and teaching advanced surgical techniques. Although I spent many years providing care in a more comprehensive practice, I feel that focusing on a smaller, more concentrated area of women's health will allow me to provide the best service to my patients."

Philosophy
"My focus includes general gynecology with emphasis on minimally invasive surgery and office based procedures. I feel strongly that patients need to be there own advocate for their health. It is impossible for the average physician to be an expert in all areas of OB/GYN and patients should seek other opinions about their care. Focusing on gynecology allows me to offer patients advanced state-of-the-art treatments. Medical care is expensive and patients deserve to get the most value out of the money they spend. There are many new developments in the treatment of urinary incontinence, heavy periods, uterine fibroids, pelvic floor support and alternatives to conventional hysterectomy. I am excited to share these with my patients. I am thankful for the privilege I have in caring for patients and I am excited about the future of gynecology."

Tina joined Minnesota Gynecology and Surgery in 2000, and has worked with Dr. Presthus for 24 years. Tina coordinates all in-office procedures, and assists with biofeedback to determine treatment for urinary stress incontinence and pelvic floor problems.

Tina's experience with women's health is wide ranging, but she especially likes to care for younger women, helping to choose the most appropriate method of birth control. Her nursing degree is from Normandale Community College in 1989 and she has continued her education since.

When not at work, Tina spends time with her husband and two daughters, walking, biking, jet skiing and vacationing.

Philosophy
"I became a women's health nurse practitioner because I felt it was important to support women in seeking appropriate care. In general, women tend to downplay their health care because there is somebody or something else to take care of first. When it comes to gynecology, the problem gets worse because women are reluctant to come forward with health issues they may find embarrassing. Knowing there is a female practitioner available helps women open up, and thus get the care they deserve."
