“Dr Sagedahl is kind, caring and compassionate.
He takes his time to make sure the patient understands an is clear on everything discussed.
He does not rush a patient.
He is truly one of a kind!”
Charlynn G.March 25, 2026
“Doctor really listned to my needs. I am already under prescription medications, he gave me additional options on prescriptions, described different feedbacks that he has received from patients like me. He described and recommended immunization options with details on what is currently been supported by medical research and other "not so supported but strong evidences to consider" aspect of immunization options. Overall I went for a medical checkup and prescription but returned with wealth of options that I need to pick and choose. I am extremely happy with the outcome and continue with him as my PCP, and highly recommend anyone seriously considering advice from PCP.”

About Dr. Joel Sagedahl
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Over the past 15 years here, I have kept my little brother persona—a trait established growing up in Fairmont, MN with two older sisters.
As a parent of two teenagers, keeping things fun (and fair) can occasionally be a challenge. I love family trips, events, and gatherings, as well as going out to many of the local breweries with my wife. Staying fit with running mixed with other activities is how I keep up with my world record-holding father.
I earned my Doctor of Medicine and completed my residency at the University of Minnesota, North Memorial Medical Center.
