George Jedlicka, DMD

I was raised in the small fishing town of Naknek, Alaska in the heart of Bristol Bay. Growing up there I enjoyed the outdoors, basketball and any type of fishing, especially flyfishing. Tying flies and chasing rainbows was my main passion. I enjoy working with my hands and I knew at an early age that I wanted to become a dentist.

After graduating from Bristol Bay Borough High School I traveled to the University of Oregon where I received my Bachelors of Science degree and experienced my first college football game. Go Ducks! During those summers I commercial fished and picked up the trade of an electrician working construction. Shortly after graduation, I was accepted into dental school at Nova Southeastern College of Dental Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

My four years in South Florida was a true eye opener. So many different cultures, people, music, sports and so many different species of fish to chase. I really enjoyed my time there but knew that I wanted to come back home to Alaska to practice and raise a family. My long journey cross country lead me to Soldotna and I have been practicing here on the Peninsula since 2003.

I enjoy living on the Kenai Peninsula because it reminds me of home with endless country to explore, a close knit community and a lot of streams to fish. I'm very thankful for all the services we have here, the great people who live and work here, my wonderful friends/mentors and the beautiful landscapes we have right outside our front doors.

After four years of associating and working for a community health clinic in Kenai, I opened up my own private practice in 2007. I am truly thankful for all of the support of my friends/mentors, family and especially the families who have been coming to see me for dental services all of these years. My professional goal is to be able to treat people to the best of my abilities for generations to come. My personal goal is to have as much fun as possible raising my family here on the Kenai Peninsula.
