About The Provider
Becoming a surgeon was a natural choice for me, driven by a profound love for the technical aspects of the profession as well as the deeply rewarding opportunity to connect with patients on a personal level and guide them through their medical journeys. The precision and complexity of surgical procedures captivated my interest early on, drawing me to the challenge of mastering intricate techniques and constantly pushing the boundaries of medical innovation. However, beyond the operating room, it was the connection with patients that truly ignited my passion. My decision to become a surgeon stems from the ability to blend technical expertise with compassionate care providing patients with exceptional surgical outcomes with unwavering support throughout their healthcare journeys. I am a breast and general surgeon with a focused practice on breast surgery within the field of general surgery. I am trained in oncoplastic breast surgery as well as aesthetic flat closure.
Surgery is often accompanied by stress and anxiety for patients due to its inherent uncertainties and the impact it can have on their lives. As a dedicated surgeon, my goal is to alleviate this stress and make the surgical process as smooth and easy as possible for my patients. Through clear communication, empathetic support, expert guidance and technical skill, I strive to provide the best possible care ensuring patients feel confident and well informed every step of the way.

I have come to Southdale Hospital for a few surgeries and procedures and I don't have anything but wonderful things to say. Everybody treats you great, are very helpful. They greet you with a smile and they treat you like it's great that you are there and they want to help you and how can they help you and everything to make it as easy as possible. So I can't say enough about the hospital or the center or the doctors or the nurses and the whole staff, all the staff. Just amazing. So thank you.

The knowledge, expertise, and handling of me as a patient was so good, tremendous. Dr. Wildenberg and her team were just really, really outstanding. And I do want to say I really appreciated all the information ahead of time after the surgery and subsequently. And I can't say enough. Outstanding care. Thank you.

Hello, I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Sarah Wildenberg. She was kind, very, very thorough. She walked into the room and had looked over my charts and all of my images, showed me all of the information, and asked me a lot of historical data as well. I felt extremely well cared for, more than I have honestly, in a very, very long time, probably since COVID. So I just wanted to give a shout out to her. She spent a good amount of time just running through everything, going through all my concerns, answering every single question that I had, and giving me the detail that I needed. She was absolutely fantastic. You guys are very, very lucky to have her.

I have the best surgeon in Dr Wildenberg. Everyone in her service was excellent from the anesthesiologist to the two female nurses who brought me to the surgery room. Obviously this is a stressful thing for anyone having surgery but this crew made me feel safe, heard and comfortable.

This has been a lengthy and horrendous experience up to this point, riddle with mis-information, lack of empathy and follow through, but I finally feel safe and heard in Dr Wildenberg's care.

Everyone was very attentive and friendly, which made the whole experience pleasant.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/14/2025
The whole experience was good except for the fact that I had to wait an hour with my robe on waiting. I would have preferred to have been out in the lobby and then called in and had a shorter waiting time in the doctor's office itself. OK, that's all.

The young lady that brought me back to the room and did my admission assessment for the doctor and took my blood pressure and that kind of stuff was very, very pleasant. I didn't get her name and she didn't have a name tag on. Everyone else treated me with courtesy and respect. I would definitely and have recommended Dr. Sarah and you people in her office to my family. My daughter has had surgery by Dr. Sarah. Have a good day.

Overall, I was very happy with my experience in preop, OR, and postop. Everyone was responsive and professional. My only negative was the NA in preop asking me for my DOB in the middle of the waiting room.

Before I met with the Dr I was thinking I might get a second opinion. But after we met I decided I had total confidence in her and her treatment plan.

I just wanted to say that Dr. Sarah Wildenberg is an excellent doctor and I would refer any and everyone to her that is in need of a very caring breast doctor. She doesn't mess around. I think she's terrific. She's got a terrific bedside manner, but your health, my health is the most important thing to her. I think she's just terrific. Just absolutely terrific. She's a real gem inside of the M Health Fairview and I hope you guys treat her accordingly. Thank you.

I was nervous about coming to Southdale because Fairview Ridges is closer to home and I have been there many times. However, from the valet at the front door, to the kind man at that entrance who gave us our nametags, everyone greeted us with a welcoming smile and clear directions to suite 440. The entire experience made me relax. Thank you.

It was a comfortable session
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/6/2025
Overall, the experience was excellent. I did feel that the front desk staff and the nurse that roomed me could have been a bit more personable and warmer. They were rather matter of fact and impersonal.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/29/2025
Everybody that I encountered during this health ordeal from the beginning through, and after the surgery have been some of the kindest caring people I have run into very professional. It was a very stressful time, and everybody that I encountered made it that much more comfortable. So grateful thank you everybody. I couldn't really pick out one person because everybody was fantastic.
