Ryan Paukert, P.A.-C.

I come from a family of teachers, so I feel as if I am a natural educator. I emphasize patient education so you can better understand your body, health and cares that we can provide. I tell patients to expect to learn during our encounters and ask questions. I want patients to have a good understanding so we can make decisions together that best fit their needs and lifestyles.

I was born and raised in Zumbrota, Minnesota. I love this area and our community. I worked in Family Medicine for over six years at Mayo Clinic Health System in Zumbrota, Red Wing and Cannon Falls. Other than spending time with my family, I love sports and stay active by playing golf and basketball.
