Edina Plastic Surgery's new clinic and surgical center is located in the Southdale Medical Building at 6525 France Avenue South in Edinaójust across the street from Fairview Southdale Hospital.

Dr. William Carter, founder of the four-surgeon practice, emphasizes the value of the new medi-spa to patients. "We are very proud of being able offer our patients the highest level of privacy and comfort. Our patients come to us because of our skill and experience, but we also want our patients to feel warm and well cared for. They will enjoy the experience of a spa environment rather than the cold starkness of a medical office."
