MWI Health - Midwest Wellness Institute

We are dedicated to the wellness of individuals by focusing on mental health needs, finding innovative ways to improve the lives of our patients.

We are not your average mental health clinic. MWI is a team of independently practicing mental health and medical professionals who are innovative thinkers, client-focused, and dedicated to expert mental health care. We believe that each and every client deserves a personalized approach and must be met in their current circumstance with understanding and compassion.

We provide the highest level of independent psychiatric analysis to veterans and legal professionals.

Dr. Pavlis is experienced in providing independent psychiatric evaluations for Veteran’s Affairs (VA) services, as well as court-ordered forensic psychiatric evaluations, and strives to offer an unbiased, knowledgeable, and professional evaluation.

We are certified for suboxone treatment, giving hope for people addicted to opioids.

Our supportive care team of specially-trained Suboxone treatment providers offer solutions for opioid addiction in our clinic, specially located only 45 minutes north of the rapidly growing city of Sioux Falls in rural Flandreau, South Dakota. Our providers have given addicts new hope through established treatment plans amidst a national opioid crisis, offering in-person and telehealth care to individuals caught in the cycle of pain killer dependence. Our Buprenorphine Certified staff is currently welcoming new patients that are dedicated to getting on the path to recovery.
