Jared Torkelson , P.A.-C., M.S.

I like to help my patients understand their current ailment and the treatment plan going forward, whether it's surgical or conservative in nature. I also have interest in helping my patients build or maintain good bone quality as they age to ensure great outcomes and prevent future injuries or surgeries.

When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our dog, Barley. My free time consists of cycling on many of Minnesota's biking trails, cooking, smoking various meats, hiking, fishing and traveling.
