| The total "family" man is how one might describe Dr. Erik Kanten. He not only is a family practice physician, but he also delivers babies, provides pediatric care, and has four children of his own. He and his wife Judie, herself a nurse, have lived in Crookston since 1988, when Dr. Kanten joined the clinic. He attended undergraduate school at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, Minnesota and medical school at the University of Minnesota. He attended the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks for his residency in family practice and became board certified in family practice in July of 1988. His personal hobbies are woodworking and flying airplanes.
His practice with Altru Clinic-Crookston includes obstetrics, pediatrics and care of adults of all ages. He sees patients not only in the clinic in Crookston, but also spends time in the Altru Clinic sites in Erskine, Fertile and Red Lake Falls. In the Crookston clinic, Dr. Kanten has extended hours on some evenings to accommodate working families that cannot make appointments during regular clinic hours.
Anyone interested in making an appointment to see Dr. Kanten at any of the clinics he visits, call Altru Clinic-Crookston at 218-281-9196.
