Randy Kreidel
,
DDS
General Dentist

Dr. Randy Kreidel brings a lifetime of diverse experiences and dedication to his work as a dental professional. He grew up in Southern California, where he learned the value of hard work early—splitting his time between helping with his father’s lawn service and milking cows on a local dairy. After high school, he moved to Tucson, Arizona, working in construction hanging and taping sheetrock.

During his time in Arizona, Dr. Kreidel met and married his wife, Jane. He later joined the U.S. Air Force, serving four years as a dental assistant, an experience that sparked his passion for dentistry. After completing his service, he used the G.I. Bill to put himself through college and dental school, laying the foundation for a long and fulfilling career focused on patient comfort, trust, and long-term oral health.

Dr. Kreidel and his wife are both Air Force veterans and have been happily married since 1976. They raised three children and now cherish time with their seven grandchildren, visiting them as often as possible.

When he’s not caring for patients, Dr. Kreidel enjoys spending time outdoors—especially fishing, where he jokes that he often ends up removing more hooks from fish than he does from patients.
