Our Doctors

Graduating co-first in their class from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2011, Doctors Jason and Claire Hemphill practiced general dentistry in the Fort Wayne area before merging their skills into Hemphill Dental.
They met at IPFW while playing volleyball for the Mastodons (Go Dons!) and married after graduation. Blessed with two amazing and fun children, Aaron and Charlotte. They still enjoy and coach volleyball, but you will also find them cheering in the bleachers at their children’s swim meets, basketball games, and ballet.
Don’t’ be surprised if you see a student or two shadowing at Hemphill Dental as their long history in the Fort Wayne community provides a resource for aspiring dental professionals to observe and learn.
