Lance Doeden, M.D.

Lance Doeden, M.D., is a Pain Management Physician at Monument Health Orthopedic & Specialty Hospital in Rapid City. Dr. Doeden was born and raised in Fargo, North Dakota and received his undergraduate degree at North Dakota State University. He went to medical school at the University of North Dakota and did his residency and fellowship at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Double board-certified in anesthesiology and interventional pain, Dr. Doeden says his biggest hope for his patients is to improve pain, function and ultimately their quality of life without the use of medication.

He was the first person in North Dakota to implant Omnia, the latest technology from Nevro spinal cord stimulation, as well as the first physician in the state to use Wavewriter alpha, the latest technology from Boston Scientific. Prior to moving to Rapid City in 2021, he was an interventional pain physician at Sanford Health in Fargo for four years. Along with Tyler Ptacek, M.D., he is the founding member of the Dakota Pain Society.

Outside of work, Dr. Doeden enjoys hiking and exploring the Black Hills with his wife Mikayla and their four kids. Their youngest son has Down syndrome, and his joyful spirit and unique perspective have inspired the family to speak up for the value and dignity of every individual. Dr. Doeden enjoys being with his family, playing on the water, reading, watching sporting events and spending time with his church family.
