“It is a privilege to care for patients. I do my best to give every patient the individualized care I would want for my family or me. Our family creed is, “always strive to be the best version of yourself”. I have always done that, whether it is in the clinic, the operating room, as a team physician, or as a coach for my kids’ football teams. I view that commitment as a responsibility that has been instilled in me while playing football at Mahtomedi High School and St. John’s University. I am part of the team and I believe together, we can be something bigger than ourselves. I live that now with my family, my patients, and my clinical team.”

Dr. Panek’s outside interests include Viking and Gopher football, skiing, biking, watching his kids participate in sports, and anything else that gives him a chance to spend time with his amazing wife.
