Annalise Almdale, MD, is a board-certified Physician in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Southdale ObGyn. The practice has two locations with offices in Edina and Burnsville, Minnesota.

She received a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Hope College in Holland, Michigan, followed by a Doctor of Medicine at the University of Indiana-Indianapolis (IUPUI). She completed her residency at Southern Illinois University (SIU) in Carbondale.

Dr. Almdale firmly believes that there must be an overarching trust between a doctor and a patient. Because if there isn't trust in a relationship, it won't be very fruitful.

She feels blessed to have patients trust her. She understands a gynecological visit is not something people look forward to. So, if she can get to know a little more about them and build trust, it helps. She says, “When patients are comfortable enough to hug me and almost welcome me into their family, I feel like I’ve made a difference.” 

Her goal is to help patients be the best person they can be — in health and other areas of life.

Recently married and new to Minnesota, Dr. Almdale is settling into her life with yoga, walking her dog, hiking, and exploring her new state. The oldest of three sisters, it’s no surprise she pursued medicine. She is a third-generation physician, following her grandfather, both parents, and OBGYN uncles. In her free time, she enjoys reading, cooking, and traveling.

David Curran, MD, is a board-certified Physician in Obstetrics and Gynecology. The practice has two locations with offices in Edina and Burnsville, Minnesota. 

He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, followed by a Doctor of Medicine from Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, New Hampshire. He completed his residency at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

“The joke about me is I used to be a pitcher — and now I’m a catcher!” says Dr. Curran, with a grin. In the late 1970s, right out of college, Curran pitched in the Milwaukee Brewers’ minor-league system for two and a half seasons before being sidelined with an elbow injury.

He had to decide — to have surgery on his arm and keep playing baseball or accept an offer of admission from Dartmouth Medical School, which was a dream come true. He believes life unfolds for a reason, and he always knew he wanted to be a doctor.

His life plan became even more apparent during his first medical school rotations in OBGYN. On one of the rotation's first nights, I was on a call with an OB doctor. His beeper went off, and he said, ‘Let’s go. It’s time to attend a delivery!”

Dr. Curran always thought he would be a sports doctor, but he’ll never forget that night on rotation. He’d never seen anything born and was overwhelmed, amazed, and moved. He thought to himself, ‘This is it.’

Dr. Curran likes to play golf and travel, but he devotes most of his leisure time to family activities. 

He and his wife, Dr. Dina Curran (a pediatrician at Southdale Pediatrics), have three children: a daughter who’s talented in the performing arts, a son who’s an Army officer, and another son who plays college baseball and has been guaranteed acceptance into Medical school.

Leigh Koidahl, MD, is a passionate, dedicated, board-certified Physician at Southdale ObGyn. The practice has two locations with offices in Edina and Burnsville, Minnesota. 

She earned a Bachelor of Arts with Distinction from the University of Minnesota in Morris, Minnesota, where she also received her Doctor of Medicine. She completed her residency at the University of Rochester Strong Memorial Hospital (UR Medicine Strong Memorial Hospital) in Rochester, New York.

Memberships, leadership, and awards include:

• American Medical Association (AMA)
• 2012-2013 Administrative Chief Resident, OB/GYN
• 2012-2013 Resident Representative and Graduate Medical Education Committee
• MSP Magazine’s Top Doctor Rising Star Award

Dr. Koidahl first thought about specializing in geriatrics, but that changed when she participated in the Rural Physician Assistance Program and did her OB/GYN rotation at Bemidji Hospital, now called Sanford Bemidji Medical Center. 

“I was the only medical student there, so I got to assist with all the deliveries and surgeries,” she says, “I remember thinking, ‘This is by far the coolest thing in medicine.’ I knew it was what I wanted to do.”

In 2012 Dr. Koidahl traveled to the Philippines on a medical mission trip. They performed gynecologic surgeries 10 hours a day, in a hot operating room, with women lined up down the street. They made a massive difference in these people's lives, and they were so grateful. It was an incredibly rewarding experience.

Dr. Koidahl describes herself as a take-charge person but also calm in high-pressure situations and a good listener. She feels it’s essential to put yourself in your patient’s shoes and help make decisions that are best for them.

“Taking care of her and advocating for her led to my decision to become a doctor,” says Dr. Koidahl. “I wanted to be charged with people’s care. My grandma was one of the biggest influences in my life.”

Rachel Harris, MD, is a board-certified Physician in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Southdale ObGyn. The practice has two locations with offices in Edina and Burnsville, Minnesota. 

Dr. Harris obtained her undergraduate degree, summa cum laude, at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, followed by her Doctor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. She completed residency at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Memberships, leadership, and awards include:

• Fellow at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) 
• American Medical Association (AMA)
• Medical Director, Southdale ObGyn Consultants 
• Recipient of the Harold M. Sluder Award for Excellence in Teaching

For Dr. Harris, being an OB/GYN is a natural fit. Her first medical school rotation was surgery. She didn’t think she’d like surgery but enjoyed it and OB/GYN was even better because she loves working in a clinic and getting to know patients personally. She says, “it’s the perfect blend of primary care and surgery.”

Her decision to become a physician came from her love of science and her aunt, Dr. Garnet Harris, a family practice physician whom she shadowed for a few weeks during college.

Dr. Harris describes herself as empathetic and energetic, driven, and down-to-earth. She is good at listening to what’s going on with her patients and respects that they have an integral role in their health care.

She believes in balancing life and being whole, so when she shows up at work, she can be there 100 percent. She feels so fortunate to have women come to her for their care. It is an honor, and she’s grateful that this is her job.

Dr. Harris likes to read, run, and try new things in her spare time — from dance lessons (West Coast Swing) to cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. She enjoys spending time with her husband, Steve, and their two children.

Anne Meschke, MD, is a skilled, caring, and board-certified Physician at Southdale ObGyn. The practice has two locations with offices in Edina and Burnsville, Minnesota. 

She earned a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and her Doctor of Medicine at the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities) where she also completed her residency.

• Minnesota Medical Association (MMA)
• Former Chairperson of Fairview Ridges Hospital Perinatal Committee
• Hardin Olson Resident Research Day Award (2006)
• MSP Magazine Top Doctor Rising Star

Dr. Meschke can’t remember when she didn’t want to be a doctor. She first thought she wanted to be in pediatrics but changed her mind after her OB/GYN rotation in medical school. “I found that I just loved taking care of women,” she says, “And that’s what I still like best about it.”

Today Dr. Meschke enjoys caring for women of all ages. “My day ranges from seeing an 80-year-old woman with prolapse issues to a teenager who’s nervous about her first pap smear,” she says. “There isn’t one age I like more.”

She and her husband, Andy, have twin girls and a son. Both pregnancies were high-risk, and Meschke says the support she received at work is what any patient can expect at the practice. “The people here really care about people,” she says. “The nurses remember who you are and are excited to see you. That supportive feeling permeates the place.”

“Our son has had some health problems, and we’ve been thrust into the other side of medicine, which has shown me how important it is to let your patients know that you care about them. Sometimes all people need is to feel like they’re not alone.”

Amanda Huepfel, MD, is a board-certified Physician in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Southdale ObGyn. The practice has two locations with offices in Edina and Burnsville, Minnesota.
