Dr. Jason Bjerketvedt grew up on a dairy farm, in rural Parkers Prairie, MN. At a young age he knew he wanted to work in healthcare, be a part of a smaller town and support a local community. With that, he sought out a chemistry degree from the University of Minnesota-Morris and continued on to dental school at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Following dental school, he began practicing at the Fergus Fall Community Dental Clinic (FFCDC). FFCDC is a state funded dental clinic; whose primary focus is to provide dental care for developmentally disabled, those with severe mental illness and low income patients. Patients who could not be seen in a clinic setting, due to their disability, were serviced in the hospital under general anesthesia. Additionally, Dr. Jason also gained experience in cosmetic and general dentistry as an associate in a private practice.
Dr. Jason is a 22 year member of the military, is a dentist for the Minnesota National Guard and holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel . Being in the military has taken him to many places which bolstered his confidence and ability to perform under any condition. In 2010, he was deployed to Iraq. It is there that he treated soldiers under extreme situations. This deployment enhanced his performance as a dentist. He became proficient in surgical extractions on impacted teeth and executed multiple, successful root canals daily.
Dr. Jason is an avid outdoorsman and can often be found hunting and fishing. He enjoys helping out on his family's farm in Parkers Prairie, running marathons, bee keeping and spending time with his family. Dr. Jason lives with his wife Natalie and their children Harrison, Noelle and Vivian.
Laura grew up in Browerville, MN and furthered her education at St. Cloud Technical College. It is there she completedher degree in Dental Assisting. After college she worked in Long Prairie. She now lives in Freeport with her husband Austen and son Jace.
Sarah grew up in Maple Lake, MN and following high school pursued a degree in Dental Assisting from Hennepin Technical college. Her career took her to a general dental office in Willmar, MN. It is there, she worked not only as a chair side dental assistant, but also a front office manager.
Sam grew up in Sauk Centre and following high school, she pursued her degree in Dental Hygiene at St. Cloud Technical College. She likes working in her home town and seeing familiar faces in the office. Sam enjoys helping patients feel good about their smiles and strives to provide exceptional care to everyone.
Danielle, too, grew up on a dairy farm in Holdingford. She took those hardworking values with her when she went to St. Cloud Technical College and sought a degree in dental hygiene. She and her husband Danny, live in Sauk Centre with their 3 little kids, Ellie, Gretta and Gus
Susie also grew up on a farm in Padua and now lives on a hobby farm in Osakis. She attended St. Cloud Technical College and earned a degree in dental assisting. She has worked in pediatric and general dentistry. Susie, definitely has the 'gift of gab', and does an outstanding job at making everyone feel at home.

I want to be very clear. Dr. Jason is probably the best dentist I have ever seen. However, his staff has changed over the past three years and he only accepts one kind of insurance. This makes it very difficult when you are on a fixed income. It is also difficult to receive a couple calls every month dunning you for an amount that you thought was to be paid by Delta Dental -- the worst insurance company ever. At the very least, the staff could leave a voicemail, but instead there are only missed calls with no message. Because of this and only once kind of insurance, I must go somewhere else.

Welcoming environment, professional staff and Dr. Jason was very kind. He explained everything in detail and let me choose what I wanted to do. I didn't feel pressured at all. Happy to have a new dentist to go to.
