We are one of a few surgical practices in the Twin Cities to offer an on-site surgical suite in the clinic. At Shu Cosmetic Surgery we know that patients appreciate the comfort, convenience and efficiency of having surgical procedures done in the same place they go to for office visits. No need to go through a public medical building lobby, or sit in a crowded waiting room in an off-site surgical center or hospital.

Our office with on-site surgical suite is located in the second floor of Southdale Medical Building in Edina, with easy traffic and free parking. It is a 5000 square feet surgical center with two operating rooms, and it is the IMQ accredited ambulatory surgical facility.

Supported by an outstanding medical team and equipped with cutting edge technology, our state-of-the-art accredited surgical center sets the standard for patient safety and high quality medical care. We strive to create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for our patients.
