Meet Dr. Hempel
Jeffrey was born in Seattle, Washington. He still has a sister and mother that live there. His father practiced dentistry until he passed away from a stroke.
Jeffrey moved to Loma Linda, CA in grade school while his father attended dental school. After graduation his father became the first dentist in Newbury Park, CA in 1964, where he moved his family. Jeffrey graduated high school in Newbury Park and moved to Napa to attend Pacific Union College in Angwin, CA. Jeffrey graduated with a BS in Biology and also graduated as a pilot from the flight school in Angwin. He has owned planes throughout the years and maintains a passion for flying.
Jeffrey then followed his father’s footsteps and moved back to Loma Linda to attend dental school. After graduation Jeffrey practiced a short time with his father before starting his own dental practice in Southern California.
Jeffrey has been married for 28 years to his high school sweetheart, Cheryl. Together they have 3 children, Jackie, Brock and Dane.
After living the busy Southern California life they re located to Napa a year ago to slow things down. Jeffrey continues to enjoy a passion for dentistry and feels much rewarded by what he can do for his patients.
