Our History
The first anorectal physiology laboratory in the Twin Cities was established in 1980, by the physicians of Colon and Rectal Surgery Associates. Housed first at United Hospital and then at the former Midway Hospital, the center and its treatments continued to evolve; adding sophisticated ultrasound technology, expertise in biofeedback and increasing our participation in clinical trials.
In 2000, the Pelvic Floor Center® was established as a free-standing diagnostic center centrally located in Minneapolis.
