About the clinic

A small clinic
built on long conversations.

Founded in 1986. Still family-run. Still answering the phone when patients call.

The Conners Clinic team in the consultation room

Our story

Conners Clinic began the way most good clinics do — with a single patient, a difficult diagnosis, and the conviction that there had to be a better way to be present with people who are afraid. Forty years later, that conviction still shapes everything we do.

We are an integrative cancer education and coaching practice. We do not perform surgery, deliver chemotherapy, or replace your oncologist. We sit beside you — explaining what's happening, designing nutritional and botanical support around your protocol, and helping you make the decisions that are yours alone to make.

The most useful thing a clinician can offer a frightened patient is unhurried attention. Everything else follows from that.

Our team is small on purpose. Every patient has a named clinician, a coordinator who knows their file, and a clear way to reach us when something changes. We work with people across the United States via telehealth, and welcome a smaller number for in-person consultations at our Minnesota office.

What we believe

Four principles, applied daily.

01

Surround, don't replace

Integrative oncology that strengthens — not contradicts — the work your medical team is already doing.

02

Educate first

An informed patient makes better decisions. Every protocol comes with the reasoning behind it, in plain English.

03

Treat the person

Diagnoses are not identities. We design care around your life, your beliefs, and the people who love you.

04

Stay reachable

When something changes you should be able to get a clinician on the phone, not a portal ticket.

The people

Who you'll actually talk to.

No call centers, no rotating reps. The clinician you meet on day one is the clinician who walks the journey with you.
