Chad Stencel APRN, CNP, FNP-C| Instructor of Medicine, Mayo Medical School.

Healthcare should never be rushed; every patient deserves enough time to be heard, thoroughly evaluated, and treated as an individual—not a diagnosis.

I founded True North Medical Care to provide personalized evidenced-based medicine where patients are given the time, attention, and respect they deserve.

Why Patients Trust Chad Stencel APRN, CNP, FNP-C

For nearly three decades, I have dedicated my career to caring for patients across emergency medicine, critical care, cardiology, primary care, and preventive medicine. My background includes experience as a paramedic, police officer, registered nurse, and nurse practitioner, providing a unique perspective on healthcare from emergency response through long-term wellness. These experiences have shaped my belief that exceptional medical care begins with listening and understanding each patient’s individual story.

As an Instructor of Medicine at Mayo Medical School and a published medical author, I remain committed to evidence-based medicine and lifelong learning. I continuously evaluate the latest medical research so I can offer patients thoughtful, scientifically supported recommendations while avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach. Every treatment plan is individualized based on a patient’s medical history, lifestyle, goals, and preferences.

At True North Medical Care, I intentionally schedule longer appointments whenever possible because I believe patients deserve the time to ask questions, understand their health, and actively participate in their care. Whether you are seeking preventive primary care, medical weight loss, pharmacogenetic testing, men’s health services, executive health assessments, sports physicals, or chronic pain management, my goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care focused on improving your long-term health.

I am proud to serve patients throughout Edina, Eden Prairie, Bloomington, Minnetonka, Richfield, St. Louis Park, Chaska, Plymouth, and the surrounding Twin Cities communities. My mission is simple: to provide the kind of healthcare I would want for my own family—personalized, evidence-based, transparent, and centered on helping every patient achieve their healthiest life.
