Completing her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology during a pandemic gave Dr. Staci Biegner a unique perspective on health care:

“For me, these challenging times have emphasized the necessity of collaboration and the importance of community. The pandemic brought to light the opportunities physicians have to support their patients. When the hospitals were closed to visitors, we were immediately there to provide support, a kind touch and a warm smile underneath our masks. For me, that time realigned and prioritized the humanistic side of medicine.”

While Dr. Biegner grew up in Northeast Florida, her parents are both Minnesotans, and she spent many summer and winter vacations visiting family in Minnesota. She immediately connected with the team Clinic Sofia, recognizing that

“The high standards of their health care model and the amazing physician team made the decision very clear for me that this was where I wanted to practice. I love the foundation of Clinic Sofia, which is focused on patients as individuals who function as the center of family, community and many work places.”

Dr. Biegner chose OBGYN as a specialty “because I can be a woman’s health advocate. It combines all my favorite parts of medicine, including continuity of care and the opportunity to build long-term relationships with patients.” Within OBGYN, her special interests include prenatal care and family planning, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, well-woman care and preventative medicine, and ensuring a collaborative, holistic approach to peripartum care.

Dr. Biegner is a patient-centered physician passionate about providing high-quality, evidence-based healthcare and a strong patient advocate. Her patients describe her as a “compassionate, dedicated physician who takes time to listen to their unique problems, explains treatment options in a way they can understand and works with each person to come to a solution as a team.”

Outside of work, Dr. Biegner loves spending time with family and friends, trying to new restaurants, following local sports teams, kayaking, hiking, traveling, and spending time with her dog, Winnie. Her husband, Will, is a Radiation Oncologist at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Health Care System.
