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.

Originally from Dilworth, MN, myself along with my wife Abby and our newborn son, Fisher, are excited to make the Lakes Country our new home. We love spending time outdoors, on the lake fishing, or in a tree hunting! 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!
