Outside of the clinic, Dr. Barthold enjoys spending quality time with his wife and four daughters. They love taking in the great Minnesota outdoors. Some of his free time hobbies include water-skiing, snowboarding, golfing, and biking.
“As a general dentist I enjoy getting to know patients in the community and the privilege to take care of their individual dental needs is rewarding. It’s always fun to see a patient smile after completing a cosmetic dental procedure!”
