About
Dr. Dan Berg grew up in New Prague, MN, graduated high school in 1990, and earned dual degrees in Economics and Chemistry from the University of Minnesota. He completed seven years of medical training before spending 23 years practicing family medicine in a traditional insurance-based clinic. That experience shaped his conviction that the doctor-patient relationship deserves better than what a corporate billing system allows. He holds board certification in Family Medicine.
Dr. Berg is passionate about chronic disease management, with deep clinical focus on diabetes, hypertension, COPD, asthma, depression, and anxiety. He brings a precision medicine lens to primary care, using pharmacogenomic and gene testing to guide medication decisions. He also focuses on obesity medicine and women's health. Faith-based values guide his work, and he describes the practice as an instrument of God's hand. He stays current through the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal Watch, and the American Family Physician Journal. Each month, he hosts a community Walk with the Doc event at Memorial Park, connecting with patients and neighbors beyond the clinic walls.
