Dr. Dana Skonseng is excited to join the Essentia Health St. Joseph's-Baxter Clinic as an OB/GYN specialist.
"I chose to join Essentia because I wanted to practice in a more rural area of Minnesota,” said Dr. Skonseng. “When I saw the opportunity to join a group of established OB/GYNs, and work and serve in a community where I could also live and raise my own family, I couldn’t pass it up.”
Dr. Skonseng earned her medical degree from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. She completed her OB/GYN residency at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska.
“I am an OB/GYN physician, but I am also a woman and a mother,” said Dr. Skonseng. “I understand what it’s like to place your trust, future and life in the hands of a care team. The relationship between a woman’s health care team and a patient is truly special. This is something I understand and respect, especially after the experience of being cared for as a patient during my own pregnancy.”
