FFCDC is a state funded dental clinic; whose primary focus is to provide dental care for developmentally disabled, those with severe mental illness and low income patients.

Dr. Jason is a 23 year member of the military, is a dentist for the Minnesota National Guard and holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel . Being in the military has taken him to many places which bolstered his confidence and ability to perform under any condition. In 2010, he was deployed to Iraq. It is there that he treated soldiers under extreme situations. This deployment enhanced his performance as a dentist.
