Having relocated to the Red River Valley in 2011, Dr. Picken is proud to call this home.  He practices at Prairie Vision Center in Wahpeton and Moorhead.  He takes a lot of pleasure in walking patients through their lifetime of vision. Treating all manner of eye conditions has been very rewarding.

Getting the opportunity to solve any kind of vision problem keeps him going.  He has a wonderfully supportive family that provides great joy including his wife, Angela, four children, and two chihuahuas. Hobbies include watching all types of sports, church activities, traveling to keep up with family, and maintaining the backyard 'paradise'.
