Samuel Ringger, certified physician assistant practicing internal medicine, is thrilled to join the Essentia Health St. Joseph’s-Brainerd Clinic.
“I was born and raised in central Minnesota and remember spending my summers in Brainerd,” said Ringger. “I enjoy the small-town feel with the many outdoor activities available, including hiking, trail running, hunting and fishing. I wanted to work for Essentia since I was always impressed with the care they provided to patients.”
Ringger received his education from Concordia University in Mequon, Wisconsin. He is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.
“Having grown up in Minnesota, I know this population well,” said Ringger. “I wish to provide the best care to my patients and come up with treatment plans that are more centered to their goals and wishes about their health.”
