DentistAdam Podratz, D.D.S.

I grew up in Granite Falls, Minnesota, and earned my dental degree from the University of Minnesota in 2001. While at dental school I met my wife, Alana, who was born and raised here in South Minneapolis. I spent the next 10 years in private dental practice, first in Wisconsin and then in Colorado. Eventually we started a family and decided it was time to move back to Minneapolis. I acquired this practice from Dr. Brandenburg in 2014. I have truly enjoyed treating patients of all ages, and sometimes many generations of the same family, in the neighborhood that I call home.

We are a friendly, low-key, family dental practice. We strive to treat our patients as unique individuals, and to help with any dental concerns they may have in an efficient and comforting manner. I am a firm believer in using prevention mixed with appropriate, conservative treatments to help preserve healthy tooth structure for a lifetime.

When not in the office, I spend most of my time trying to figure out how to parent two teenagers. I also enjoy tennis, camping, hanging out with my wife and our dog Astro, and spending time at the family cabin.
