Dr. Hipp went to St. Cloud State College before graduating from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. Since graduating from dental school Dr. Hipp has taken continuing education hours equivalent to more then two additional years of University studies. He also spent three weeks at the well respected L.D. Pankey Institute for advanced dental studies.

As a youth Dr. Hipp had some negative dental experiences and this is the main reason he decided to become a dentist. His past experiences make it a priority to treat his patients with care and compassion.

He has four children and two grandchildren. He enjoys traveling to spend time with each of his children who all live out of state.

Outside the office Dr. Hipp enjoys motorcycling, skiing (both downhill and cross country), fishing, hunting, golf, bicycling, rollerblading, cheering on our great Minnesota Twins and Timberwolves, cooking and reading. He also volunteers at the Union Gospel Mission providing dental care for people in need.

Dr. Hipp is being very authentic when he says "I care about peoples oral health" he wants to help people keep their own teeth all their lives.
