Ortonville Area Health Services is pleased to announce that Dr. Amber Nielsen will be joining the medical staff at Northside Medical Clinic and OAHS, with her practice set to begin in February 2026. Dr. Nielsen was recruited with the assistance of the Big Stone Health Care Foundation, a partnership that has brought more than twenty-five providers to the Big Stone Lake area.
Dr. Nielsen is a family medicine physician with surgical obstetrics skills, currently practicing in Roseau, Minnesota. She provides care to patients of all ages, from newborns to older adults, and has a particular interest for obstetrics, including performing C-section deliveries.
Dr. Nielsen earned her medical degree from the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences. She completed her Family Medicine Residency at Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho, where she focused on rural medicine. To further expand her obstetric skills, she went on to complete an Obstetrics Fellowship at Essentia Health in Duluth, Minnesota, where she gained advanced training in high-risk obstetric care and surgical deliveries.
Since 2021, Dr. Nielsen has been part of LifeCare Medical Center in Roseau, where she has built a strong reputation for her compassionate, patient-centered care and dedication to rural health.
“We are excited to welcome Dr. Nielsen to our team,” said Dr. Susan Andersen, OAHS Chief Medical Officer. “Her skills in family medicine and obstetrics will be a tremendous asset to our patients and community. We look forward to the expertise and dedication she brings.”
