About Me

Born and raised in the Midwest, a young Jeffry Dressander loved playing sports. With that came several visits to doctor offices due to injuries. The experiences piqued his interest, and coupling it with his love of science, he pursued a calling in medicine.

If you have bone, muscle, joint pain or injury, trust Dr. Dressander for general orthopedic care and/or orthopedic surgery at Avera Orthopedics in Brookings, SD.

Expert Care in Orthopedics

Dr. Dressander provides a wide spectrum of services. Some of his special interests include:

  • General orthopedic care
  • Robotic-assisted and minimally invasive surgery
  • Total hip and knee replacements
  • Knee scopes including ligament repairs and cartilage restoration
  • Shoulder surgery including rotator cuff repair and cartilage restoration
  • Treatment for fractures, carpal tunnel and trigger finger
  • Orthobiologic care

Hip replacements are among his favorite courses of treatment. Why? “The day before surgery the patient is experiencing pain. The day after, he or she is already feeling the relief of their new joint,” he explained. “The transformation is incredible and motivating.”

Active Lifestyle

When he’s not at work, Dr. Dressander enjoys spending time with his wife and dogs, fishing and bicycling. He also looks forward to being a part of the Brookings community and enjoying the cultural and athletic opportunities.
