Jordan Needens, MD

Dr. Needens was born in Fort Collins, CO. She attended South Dakota Mines for undergrad, where she played basketball! She fell in love with Rapid City, and stayed in South Dakota to attend medical school at University of South Dakota – Sanford School of Medicine. She completed residency training at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia in 2023. Go Herd! She completed a one year fellowship at the University of Colorado in 2024.

She is so excited to be returning to Rapid City for the start of her career as an OBGYN. She did not think that she would end up in this specialty at the start of medical school, but thinks it is amazing to get to be a surgeon, work in clinic, and be there for some of the most exciting times in her patients’ lives. She is interested in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, and optimizing women’s care in pregnancy and delivery.

She spends her free time with her family on the ranch east of town, and her three fur babies. Her hobbies include sports, hiking, golfing, skiing. She cannot wait to be back and able to explore the beautiful Black Hills!
