He has a great manner and is very knowledgeable.
Dr. Jaqua is knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He always addresses my concerns and offers suggestions.
Dr. J was kind, he listened to me, he took care of my issue quickly. I would definitely go back to him if I needed more care.
Dr. Jaqua is highly knowledgeable on women's health. He listens to my concerns and works with me on a plan. He is supportive, smart, and genuine.
The clinic staff was as nice and professional as they always are; I enjoy seeing all the familiar faces. When my intake nurse asked what prompted my visit, I gave a high level summary of recent challenges (which were both physical and emotional); she was very calm, understanding, took a few discreet notes, and let me know Dr. Jaqua would see me shortly. Dr. Jaqua then stopped by the room himself to check on me, asked whether I was Ok, and let me know there would be just one patient he needed to see first but that he would be back right after. It was such a relief to be in the clinic and receive the help and support I needed. I also appreciate that I didn’t need to expend much energy — I just needed to show up, describe my challenges once, and the care team carried me from there. Dr. Jaqua has become one of my primary supports in life; he is a wonderful, caring physician. He is always approachable, and I appreciate his good-natured humor, too. I love you all!
Dr. Jaqua is absolutely an exceptional provider. I have been seeing him for about 6 years now. He makes me feel like I am the only patient he will see that day. My history has been a bit complex & he never ever gives up on me. He is so kind, approachable, compassionate & very knowledgeable. I have had nothing but amazing care from the schedulers, to the front desk, & the MAs & nursing staff - five star staff.
Dr. Jaqua is wonderful, very kind and caring and takes time to listen and includes you in the plan.
Doctor listened to me and advised and sent in a prescription and made sure I had another appointment scheduled as soon as I was available.
Dr. Jaqua listens very well and always tries his best to fix my problems in a way that I'm comfortable with.

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.”
