About Us
Lakeview Clinic is here for you
Lakeview Clinic is a patient-focused, high-quality, caring, and thoughtful multi-specialty group.
We are highly engaged with our patients to address their medical concerns from birth through adulthood. Patients stay with Lakeview because of the care they have received and the relationships they have built with our compassionate and specialized team of providers and support staff.
We are committed to providing one-stop care. We have everything from an in-house, high complexity lab for quick results, including COVID testing, to a full radiology offering (MR, CT, Dexa, 3D Mammogram, Ultrasounds, and X-ray). Having several specialties under one roof allows our providers to consult with their peers to ensure they are delivering the best evidence care available today.

An attentive provider that is prepared to provide an efficient & thoughtful work up
A well communicated plan of care
Responsive lab and radiology services
Timely notification of your results
Our Commitment to Care
Lakeview Clinic remains a long-term fixture in the southwest metro. We are deeply engrained in our community and care about the patients we serve…not only because that is our commitment as a health care provider, but we also live in the communities we serve. Our patients are our neighbors and our friends.
Because we are an independent, physician-owned facility, we are not only committed to doing what is right for our patients, but we are incredibly agile and can make the right changes quickly. We are not afraid to invest in technology and systems that will get our patients the best care available.
Our History
Lakeview Clinic begins…
Lakeview Clinic began in 1957 when Drs. John Clarke and John Savaryn decided to come together in Waconia. Their practice was located in this building on West First Street and still stands today. Dr. Charles Bean joined Dr. Clark in 1963 and they formed the foundation of Lakeview Clinic for many decades.
Lakeview Continues to Grow
In 1976, the clinic moved to its current location on Hwy 5 in Waconia. The building was expanded in 1981 to accommodate the growth in the community and the addition of our 10th physician. In 1985, Lakeview Clinic merged with the Watertown Clinic, owned by Dr. David Philp. In 1989, the Waconia office completed another building addition that double the clinic’s size.
Norwood & Waconia Expand
In 1991, Lakeview merged with the Norwood Clinic owned by Dr. Cecil Provence. This smaller office was moved in 2000. This expansion provided the opportunity to add additional providers to the Norwood community. In 2003, the Waconia office expanded again, growing our exam space. The Radiology Department also added CT, MRI, and Bone Density to the existing X-Ray and Mammography equipment.
New Chaska Office
Lakeview has been in the Chaska community since 1998. In 2014, we built our new 3 story medical office building in Chaska across from Target. Lakeview has continued to grow to meet the needs of the communities we serve. We now have almost 50 providers with many different specialties treating patients at our four locations.
Same Day Virtual
In 2024, Lakeview expanded its same day offering by launching our Virtual Convenient Care service. This service is an added convenience for patients seeking same day care and/or evening and weekend visits. While this service is not appropriate for all appointment types, it can be utlized for many conditions. A complete list is available here.
