Your path to better health
How hormone care works at our Edina clinic
Every patient starts in the same place: a real conversation with a provider who specializes in hormones, not a 10-minute primary care visit. From there, we test, we build a plan, and we stay with you.
Free consultation
Meet with Gary Rudashevsky, APRN, Nicolie Houdek, FNP-C, or Angela Elliott, APRN to discuss your symptoms, goals, and health history. No referral needed.
Comprehensive in-house labs
We draw blood on-site and process results the same visit. Full hormone panels, metabolic markers, and anything else relevant to your case.
Your personalized treatment plan
Based on your labs and goals, we build a plan — TRT, BHRT, peptides, weight loss, or a combination. You leave knowing exactly what you're doing and why.
Ongoing monitoring and adjustments
Regular follow-up labs keep your levels optimized. Your plan evolves as you do. Direct provider access between visits.

"Started peptide therapy alongside my TRT here and the combination is remarkable. Recovery time from workouts is dramatically shorter. The whole team is incredibly knowledgeable."
–Tanya H.
Nicolie spent a full hour explaining everything — the actual science, not talking points. I felt completely informed before starting. That level of care is rare."
–Lisa P.

Why Excelsior chooses Medical Specialists MN
Why Excelsior chooses Medical Specialists MN
The south shore Lake Minnetonka communities have quality general healthcare, but dedicated hormone optimization practices are nearly nonexistent in the area. Patients who want TRT or BHRT managed by a provider whose entire practice is built around hormone health‚ with in-house labs and a comprehensive approach‚ make the 25-minute drive east on Hwy 7 to France Avenue and consistently find it worth it.
Peptide therapy for Excelsior patients
Peptide therapy aligns well with the active, health-conscious lifestyle common in Excelsior and surrounding communities. The clinic offers BPC-157 for injury and gut healing, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin for growth hormone support, and cognitive peptides for focus and anti-aging‚ tailored to each patient's health history and goals.
Direct Access Lab for Excelsior residents
Excelsior and South Shore residents use the Direct Access Testing lab to order hormone panels, thyroid testing, and metabolic panels without a physician's order or any treatment commitment. Same-day results in most cases‚ an efficient option for anyone who wants objective data before deciding on a path forward.
