Dr. Christianson

In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and four children. As an outdoor enthusiast, that's where he can be found when he is not at the office.

Dr. Christianson also enjoys coaching his children’s sports and watching most sports.

Dr Ostrander
Dentist

Dr. Ostrander grew up in Glenwood, MN and attended the University of St.Thomas and graduated with a degree in Biology. He completed my dental school education at the University of Minnesota. 

Dentistry is an incredibly rewarding profession. Dr. Ostrander prides himself on clear communication with patients to understand their goals and make sure they feel heard so we can work together to achieve a trusting and comfortable relationship. 

It is important to Dr. Ostrander to stay up-to-date with the most current techniques and technology through my association with several continuing education societies including the ADA, AGD, and attending the Star of the North Conventions. 

When I am not in the office, I enjoy playing sports like golf, softball, pickleball, and basketball. During the summers I spend as much time on a boat as I can!
