Stephanie Contag, MD

Commitment to Patient-Centered Care

“I have been a part of Hennepin Healthcare since 2016, and I am passionate about the mission-driven care we provide our patients. As an otolaryngologist and facial trauma surgeon, I have the unique opportunity to care for patients often during acute stress or injury. I am committed to providing excellent care for each patient and to advocating strongly for each patient. I strive for my patients to feel trust and safety, feeling heard and respected throughout their care. I am committed to thoroughly guiding and counseling patients when navigating complex medical decision-making, so that they can make informed decisions about their care. I often have the privilege to establish long-term care relationships with patients, which allows me to get to know my patients over time. My patients have always been and will continue to be my greatest teachers in the art of medicine.”
