Bret Friday, MD, PhD
Hematology/Oncology | |
Dr. Bret Friday found what he was looking for in the Duluth Clinic.
“I think the Duluth Clinic is a place that offers a great balance between lifestyle,
clinical practice, opportunities for research, great facilities and it offers a
lot of balance. ... I did look at other places besides here -- it offered everything
I wanted. I think there's plenty of opportunity here.”

Kenji Sudoh, MD
Medical Orthopaedics | |
Dr. Kenji Sudoh says he has a unique practice because of the Duluth
Clinic's innovative approach to orthopaedics.
“Surgeons like to be in the OR, that's what they love to do, and we (medical orthopaedists)
like to be in the clinic. So it's just a very nice relationship that we have in
the group.”

Family Medicine | |
Dr. Darcey Stockland
appreciates shared call duties.
“Where I used to work, I was alone and pretty much on call 24/7 all week long and
weekends. ... I couldn't go on a hike with out worrying about will my pager be able
to be reached or will my phone be able to have a signal so I can call in. Here I
get to go home at night and not worry.”

Tina Hyser, MD
Family Medicine | |
Dr. Tina Hyser joined the Duluth Clinic-Hayward
because she wanted to have a “full-spectrum family medicine” practice in a small
town.
“All of the physicians and staff
in the community are focused on caring for patients. That makes it a wonderful place
to practice because when it really comes down to answering questions, we say ‘How
is this going to affect a patient? What is best for patient?' … It feels good to
be part of that system. That's why I went into medicine."

even more."

Frederick Harris, MD
Neurosurgery | | Dr. Frederick Harris
and his wife were looking for four seasons and a safe community
to raise their children. In Duluth, they also found happy colleagues.
“(Winter) was one concern I honestly had when I came, but I've really learned to
enjoy winter and it's not nearly as bad as people think it is. We have a family
with young kids and we just want them to grow up in safe environment with a good
education system and it was very important for us to find a place where we could
feel comfortable.”

Dr. Thomas Kaiser
says the Duluth Clinic offers a wide variety of medical specialties and
cutting-edge technologies, such as CyberKnife.
"We are very, very patient-focused.
An example would be CyberKnife. A piece of technology that allows me to do something
for patients that may allow me to prolong life, enrich quality of life, possibly
even cure people of certain types of cancer."

Dr. M. Patricia O'Day believes the Duluth Clinic recruits and retains
quality physicians.
"You find that high quality of care here because the physicians who are here have
trained in good places. The other thing that impresses me is SMDC's commitment to
recruiting and retaining quality physicians."

Laura Boehlke Bray, MD
Family Medicine | |
Dr. Laura Boehlke Bray appreciates being part of a healthcare system
with specialists.
"...those specialists will come to the Spooner area on outreach and serve our patients
there, but are also just a phone call away if we need more tertiary care on a more
immediate basis to get our patients to Duluth."

Anne Normand, MD
Orthopaedic Oncology | | Dr. Anne Normand

able to provide care to any and all in the area. And not just any care, but a very
high level of care."
