Dr. Michael Pederson is from Walker, Minnesota where he graduated from high school in 1991. He went to the University of Minnesota for his undergraduate and dental school education. In 1998, he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree (DDS), from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry.
Dr. Pederson enjoys practicing all aspects of general dentistry. Practicing in a small community gives him the opportunity to know most of his patients on a personal level. He takes great pride in meeting his patient’s expectations in a trusting and comfortable environment. Dr. Pederson continues to learn the latest advancements in general dentistry through ongoing continued education courses. He is an active member of the American Dental Association, Minnesota Dental Association, and the Northwest District Dental Society.

DR. ZACHARY DUKLETH, DDS
I completed my undergraduate studies at North Dakota State University in 2019, earning a Biological Sciences degree with a minor in Chemistry. Following this I pursued my dental education at the University of MN School of Dentistry where I graduated in 2024 and developed a strong foundation in all aspects of general dentistry. I am thrilled to join the Pederson Family Dental team and honored to have the opportunity to serve the Walker community and surrounding areas. My primary goal is to provide excellent dental care and build lasting patient relationships. I am committed to creating a comfortable and trusting environment for everyone who walks through our doors, ensuring that you receive the best possible care.

Thank you for the warm welcome, I’m truly excited to meet you and your family and to be part of the journey towards better oral health!
