Taylor Beahrs, M.D.

Orthopedic surgery is about relieving pain, restoring function and treating the whole patient. It is a great privilege to help patients with difficulties related to lower extremity arthritis, other bone and tendon degenerative conditions, trauma, deformity and more. In my clinic, you will learn about your orthopedic diagnosis and treatment options. Whenever possible, we start with safe nonoperative treatment plans, and we will discuss if or when surgery is an option.

In addition to practicing orthopedic surgery, I serve as Chair of Quality and Value for Mayo Clinic Health System in Minnesota. In this role, I work with multidisciplinary teams to improve patient experience, patient safety and overall quality of care for Mayo Clinic Health System patients.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and three children. I enjoy outdoor activities on the lakes, rivers and beautiful farmlands in southern Minnesota. My personal interests and hobbies include walleye fishing, canoeing, golfing and downhill skiing.
