Kevin T. Wand, D.O., a board-certified family physician through the American Academy of Family Practice, is a strong advocate of holistic family medicine. Dr. Wand’s approach to healthcare combines the best of traditional and nontraditional medicine. A native of Iowa, Dr. Wand earned his bachelor’s degree from Iowa State University. Continuing his studies, Dr. Wand graduated from the College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery in Des Moines, Iowa, where he learned and became a supporter of the Osteopathic Principle: Illness is a whole-body experience. For optimum wellness, the entire body—not just its symptoms—should be considered and treated.

Dr. Wand completed his medical internship at San Diego’s Naval Hospital and his family practice residency at Camp Pendleton Naval Hospital, San Diego. His 20-year navy career has given Dr. Wand a world view, including experiences as a flight surgeon on the carrier, U.S.S. Nimitz, flight surgeon for the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, and medical director for all naval medical clinics in the Midwest United States. In 1994, Dr. Wand retired from the navy and joined Minnesota’s Park Nicollet Medical Clinic, where he worked as a family physician and furthered his development of holistic medicine. In 2001 Dr. Wand left Park Nicollet Medical Clinic to open his Midwest Wellness Center. As founder and director, Dr. Wand maintains ties with Park Nicollet and is on staff at Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

A frequent guest speaker and presenter on holistic medicine, nutrition, and functional medicine, Dr. Wand also enjoys working with local health support groups, including those dealing with fibromyalgia and autism.
