About Renew ENT & Hearing Center

We Hear You, to Heal You

Our Practice Philosophy

Our mission is to provide safe, effective, high quality ear, nose and throat care to anyone that needs it throughout the Twin Cities metro.

That means keeping an open dialogue, listening to our patients’ medical histories, performing physical examinations and providing them with the necessary details — both benefits and risks — to make the best possible treatment decisions. We respect our patient’s ability to choose the care they need but also recognize that in order to best make that choice, they need to be as informed as possible. That’s why we’re dedicated to answering all your questions completely and in a timely manner.

As health care providers, we value the inherent worth and dignity of every person — you, your family, your children. We view our patients’ health as a foundation for their individual goals: feeling better, living better, experiencing joy or anything else.

“Unlike my experience recently at a hospital, Renew and Laura were both professional and caring. I was given a plan going forward and have already recommended your company to all of my clients.”

“I appreciated that EVERYONE in the office was friendly and helpful. Dr. Mingo was kind and informative and gave me time to address my concerns. This is the BEST experience that I have had with a health care service!”

“Excellent job by all staff. Great availability in office for appointments for a recurrent sinus infection. Really appreciate that I’m being treated as someone who knows what’s going on with my body, listened to, and included in my care plan.”

“Clay is outstanding in every regard! He listens carefully and gives great explanations to my questions about the details of (my condition). I have had unsuccessful attempts before, not with Clay. I am very pleased to be able to have him help me.”

“This is the most wonderful clinic! I will recommend it to everyone. People are friendly, patient and thorough! Dr. Wudel is a great doctor who is informative, thorough, top notch with an awesome bedside manner. They all took the extra step to make my testing pain-free! I came from a bad ENT clinic so this was a big concern of mine. I am so glad I found Renew ENT! Won’t go anywhere else!”

“So thankful that I got referred to Dr. Getnick, and an excellent result to the sinus surgery. I suffered with sinus problems for 10 years and after Dr. Getnick did the surgery I feel so good. Thank you.”

“Dr. Wudel – One year ago, I was sick of feeling sick. I’d been battling a sinus/respiratory infection since Thanksgiving, and despite multiple doctor visits, medications, and even holistic remedies, I still felt ill. But since the balloon sinuplasty, I have felt great. So far, in the past twelve months, I haven’t even had a cold! Thank you so much for giving me back my health!”
