Avera Medical Group Garretson
About Avera Medical Group Garretson
Avera Health, a leading nonprofit health system in the Upper Midwest, provides comprehensive orthopedic and primary‑care services across South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. Our orthopedic specialists focus on restoring mobility and reducing pain for patients of all ages, from children with developmental hip dysplasia to adults facing arthritis, fractures or sports injuries. By integrating minimally invasive surgical techniques, robotic‑assisted procedures and evidence‑based non‑surgical options, we aim to return patients to their daily activities as quickly and safely as possible. Our multidisciplinary team includes board‑certified orthopedic surgeons, sports‑medicine physicians, pediatric orthopedists, pain‑management specialists and rehabilitation therapists who collaborate closely with primary‑care providers, physical therapists and nutritionists. Together, we develop individualized treatment plans that prioritize non‑operative care—such as targeted injections, structured physical‑therapy programs and lifestyle coaching—before proceeding to surgical interventions when necessary. This patient‑centered approach ensures optimal outcomes while minimizing reliance on medication. Avera’s extensive network of clinics, urgent‑care sites and specialty centers offers convenient access to services ranging from allergy testing and immunizations to advanced imaging, laboratory diagnostics and home‑health support. Our commitment to innovation, quality and compassionate care makes Avera a trusted partner for families seeking relief from joint pain, improved function and a healthier, more active life.
