Dr. Ross Anderson grew up in Eau Claire, WI, and later went on to receive his Bachelor of Arts in 2001 from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, MN. With a career in dentistry always in mind, he spent a number of years working as a wildland firefighter. This work reinforced his interest in working with his hands but lacked the kind of personal interaction he wanted in a long-term career.
In 2006, Dr. Anderson enrolled at the University of Minnesota and earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the UMN School of Dentistry in 2010. While in dental school, he volunteered weekly at the Union Gospel Mission free dental clinic and helped coordinate Give Kids a Smile activities on campus. After graduation Dr. Anderson completed a General Practice Residency and a Fellowship in TMJ/Orofacial Pain at Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) in Minneapolis. Dr. Anderson enjoys the challenges and variety of work that dentistry offers and greatly values building relationships with his patients.

Dr. Anderson and his family had always hoped to move to Duluth, as his wife Carin grew up here. Together with their two sons, they are thrilled to be closer to all of northern Minnesota’s great adventures. In their spare time, the family enjoys biking, hiking, skiing, reading, throwing rocks in Lake Superior, and traveling.
