Meet our Doctors
At Stetzel Dental Group, all of our Doctors attended Indiana University and are unquestionable leaders in the field.
Mark R. Stetzel, D.D.S.
Mark R. Stetzel, D.D.S. is a native of Fort Wayne, having graduated from Snider High School.
Mark is an established dental professional known for his clinical skills that have shown to yield consistently exceptional results. He has been practicing dentistry for over 30 years since joining his father, Dr. Robert Stetzel, in family practice in 1984. This practice, that his father started over 50 years ago, has grown into a state-of-the-art facility enabling us to keep up with the latest advances in dentistry. Doctor Stetzel is a consummate professional who is indefatigable in the treatment and care of his dental patients, staff, and family.
Dr. Stetzel earned his doctorate degree from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 1984. His undergraduate degree in Biology was also earned from Indiana University in 1980. Mark enjoys spending his free time with his wife Laura, and their two daughters, Jill and Leah, who are both pursuing careers in dentistry. Mark is also a skilled pilot - a trade and hobby that he shared with his father from a young age. Spending precious time with family while also pursuing professional and personal passion has proved to be a rewarding balance for Dr. Mark.
Mark has kept himself at the forefront of dental technology and the profession he cherishes; please allow these accomplishments to earn your confidence and assurance:
