Team: Meet Our Doctors
Dr. Eric Youngner
I grew up in Maple Grove, Minnesota. After graduating high school, I attended the University of St. Thomas, where I majored in neuroscience and psychology. It was here, in organic chemistry lab that I met my beautiful wife and best friend, Kaija. One of the most amazing opportunities I had before graduating was spending time in the Philippines doing marine biology research and getting to know the culture. After finishing my undergraduate degree, I attended the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. Go Gophers!
I feel so fortunate to have such a wonderful family. My wife and I have a daughter and two sons. We also have three fur children: 2 crazy dogs and 1 very mischievous cat. I’m hoping to stay a 3 pet household for a while, but my wife, who is a veterinarian, seems to have other ideas.
In my free time, I enjoy golfing, skiing, mountain biking, and any other sport that keeps me active. I wish I enjoyed home maintenance and remodeling more because I find myself doing this quite often. Our family loves to spend time together outdoors, and our favorite activities are hiking and camping.
