Verified Patient Reviews for Jonathon Jaqua, DO
Reasonable wait time. Dr. Jaqua listened to my concerns, was helpful and kind.
[Rating Only]
Everyone was professional and welcoming. I wasn't rushed and was able to spend the time with the doctor.
I appreciate his openness to hearing my thoughts and discuss options competently. He listens judgment free and that makes me feel like my concerns are really listened to.
I've been seeing Dr. Jaqua since I was pregnant with my first child over 8 years ago. And now that I'm no longer having any more children, I will continue to see him for my women's health care. He does such a great job listening, and providing options versus talking at me and only one solution.

Every doctor and nurse involved in my surgery made me feel at ease. They took care of me very well and made sure I felt comfortable.
All my concerns/issues were addressed. Time spent with me was appropriate.
On the morning of Monday, May 18, 2026, I called Southdale OB/GYN after experiencing a night of great discomfort. Concerned I might have a UTI, or a similar issue, I wanted to be seen by one of the doctors at either the Edina or the Burnsville clinic. The person who answered my call was named Jo (or Joe) and was one of the kindest and most empathetic triage provider, or medical scheduler with whom I have ever spoken. I am most grateful for her help. I'd had such a difficult time last December (2025) when I called the Edina clinic in an attempt to make an appointment for an (overdue) annual visit. I was so completely frustrated trying to speak with the scheduler which at the time, I suspected was a new system utilizing AI in order to address or screen calls, but at the time it was not clearly stated that AI was being used. Nonetheless, after mounting frustration, I ended the call without an appointment. I never followed through after that experience which was to my detriment because several weeks later, I was unable to renew two of my long-standing hormone prescriptions. This lapse in care has weighed heavily on me because I had not been seen in the clinic since Dr. David Curran (my doctor since 1998) retired. Regarding my most recent visit, Dr. Jonathan Jaqua had an opening that day, in the afternoon, at the Burnsville clinic. Dr. Jaqua, was most kind and helpful. He explained clearly some of the reasons I could be experiencing discomfort as well as treatment options. I appreciated the after-visit notes, and I plan on communicating through the patient portal regarding further follow-up about my particular issue.
You all got me in quickly. I knew exactly what to expect. The doctor was amazing. The nurse was amazing. It was wonderful.

Get to Know Dr. Jaqua
Dr. Jaqua says, “In D.O. school, we were taught to emphasize the mind, body, and spirit connection to health, but I think I may have chosen osteopathy because I already did that naturally. It’s a philosophy of care I really like — to treat the whole person.” With this in mind, he’s focusing more time on diving into nutrition for himself and his patients, with an emphasis on good health, not counting calories.
In his spare time, Dr. Jaqua likes to run, bike, downhill ski and camp. He also competes in triathlons and recently completed the Wisconsin Ironman. Most of all, he likes spending time with his wife, Maureen, a pediatric hospitalist, and their three sons, Ernie, Frankie and Alfie. “I’m proud of my wife and sons, and the life we’re building here in Minnesota,” says Jaqua. “And, I’m especially proud that I’ve found a job through which I can continue to give back — for the rest of my life.”
Prenatal & Childbirth
I made a “nothing else will do” decision to go into ObGyn during my first hospital rotation in medical school,” says Jaqua. “I can’t think of anything more rewarding than following a woman throughout her pregnancy and delivering a baby at the end of it. It gives me the greatest joy.”
Dr. Jaqua is open to exploring options that complement a traditional birth plan, such as having a doula present at the birth, or using alternative treatments such as meditation, physical therapy, hydrotherapy, or acupuncture to relieve stress and discomfort.
Gynecological
“Prevention is always best,” says Jaqua. “But when there is a problem, there are a multitude of treatments options and some are less invasive. Together, we’re going to explore all options with a goal of choosing the right path.”
Patients also turn to Dr. Jaqua for sexual health issues, such as pain with intercourse and treatment of abnormal urine bleeding.

Surgical
If surgery is the best option, Dr. Jaqua’s goal is that it be as minimally invasive as possible, for the fastest and most comfortable recovery. He wants patients to know that he has the necessary tools to make it that way, including laparoscopic and robotic. He says, “As a practice, we are constantly working to enhance our skills and get the best possible outcome, with a small incision.
Being an Army National Guard brigade surgeon contributes to making Dr. Jaqua a well-rounded surgeon. He says, “Being ultimately responsible for the medical readiness of more than 5,600 soldiers gives me a better picture of the health management within diverse populations.”
