Dr. John Krell is a native Houstonian who comes from a family where four members have become dentists. It was only natural that he would pursue a degree in dentistry as well. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Houston and then went on to dental school at the University of Texas. After graduating in 1989, Dr. Krell joined his brother, Dr. Bill Krell, at his dental practice. Then, in 1996, Dr. Krell acquired Dr. Charles Goolsbees dental practice after he retired. Throughout the years, Dr. Krell has built his practice into an ultra-high-tech, state-of the-art office where he can offer his patients the best possible dental care in a very relaxing atmosphere.
The key to Dr. Krells growing success has been combining conservative methodology and technological advances. With his ongoing pursuit of continuing education for himself and his team, everyone has the opportunity to stay abreast of the latest advances in dentistry.
Dr. Krell is close to achieving the Fellowship Award with the Academy of General Dentistry, and he is also working on his Mastership Award in the AGD. Additionally, as a member of the American Dental Association, the Texas Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Greater Houston District Dental Society, Texas Academy of General Dentistry, the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Krell stays very active in the dental community.
Dr. Krell is also a member of the Greater Southwest Houston Chamber of Commerce. He developed and chaired the healthcare committee, and he was on the Board of Directors for six years. During that time, he received numerous awards, one of which was the Distinguished Director Service Award for his volunteerism to the community and for his long-term work for the Greater Southwest Houston Chamber of Commerce.
Dr. Krell has participated in and sponsored many fundraisers. He and his wife Stephanie are active participates in the Fund for Animals and the SPCA (the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). They have also hosted fundraisers for Toys for Tots and have been Mr. And Mrs. Claus for Covenant House. They both enjoy giving back to the community.
Dr. Krell is committed to giving his patients the highest quality of care that dentistry has to offer. Through his participation in professional organizations, education, community, church, and family, his balance of professionalism and ethics stands tall. Dr. Krell is very committed to his profession, but above all, his two children Alexandria and Johnny are the loves of his life.
Even the most dedicated dentist needs hobbies. You might find Dr. Krell, when the winds and tides are just right, wading through the South Texas marshes looking for trout or redfish. Someday, he hopes to catch a tagged redfish or a world-class trout.
We understand that our practice is just a small part of a greater whole that is Houston. As members of the community, we believe it is our responsibility to help people beyond the walls of our office. We do this in a multitude of ways, and that includes everything from offering free services to neighborhood schools to sponsoring local charities. Every member of our team chose to pursue dentistry because it allows them to help people, and these charities are just another way for us to do it. Be sure to contact us today here the Houston, TX area if youd like to support any of these causes as well.
One of our favorite things to do is help out local schools sports teams by offering them free, custom-made mouthguards so they can keep their mind on the game and not have to worry about their teeth. We regularly work with St. Francis Episcopal Day School, St. Johns School, Lamar High School, Memorial High School, and many others.
Toys for Tots is a program that makes sure even the most disadvantaged children have something to look forward to during the holidays. We host a toy drive at our office every year and are always happy to donate to this cause. The looks on the childrens faces are simply priceless.
This organization helps deliver food to those who cannot purchase or prepare it themselves. Most of the recipients are elderly, and this program has been shown to massively increase the quality of both their diet and their life. Sponsoring this program is one of the most direct ways we can help those who truly need it.
This charity is near and dear to our hearts because its specifically aimed at serving our returning veterans. They do everything from helping them get reacclimated to civilian life to training them to rejoin the workforce. Our practice is a longtime sponsor of this organization, and we plan to do so for many more years to come.
Our team is filled with animal lovers as well, which is why we support a variety of organizations that specifically help Houstons furry friends. These include our local SPCA, the Paws and Claws Animal Shelter, the Fund for Animals, and a multitude of spay and neutering programs.

I came here starting in April as a new patient and felt right at home with how friendly the staff were. I had my teeth cleaned and a couple of fillings checked/replaced. I recently went in for my 6 month follow-up/bi-annual cleaning and felt like this was one of the best cleanings I've ever received from Bernadette. Dr. Krell then came in to check over everything and is very easy to talk to and I can tell he is thorough in his exams by the time he spent with me. I'm happy I made the switch to his office!

Dr. Krell and crew are top notch, friendly, patient (when I am late) and have taken very good care of me since my first visit in 2000 (as of today... 22 years ago). Would not think of going anywhere else. EDIT: changed "20 years ago" to "22 years ago".

Dr. Krell and his office came highly recommended and I can absolutely see why. The office staff was helpful and friendly and his dental staff were outgoing and diligent. Extremely nice and professional place and Dr. Krell was so calming, knowledgeable and thorough. The estimate was definitely reasonable and fair and I look forward to my next appointment.

I came here last year as a new patient for a routine check up. Before I set an appointment I gave them all my insurance information and specifically asked if they were in network. The lady who does scheduled me confirmed they were. I came in, had my check up and even paid almost $600 out of pocket for some cosmetic work (Gingivectomy). Several months later I am getting mail saying I owe $209 for my routine check up. When I called and asked how (because my insurance pays my bi yearly check ups in full) I'm told they are not in network with my insurance. I am beyond frustrated because I called to confirmed and was lied to to lure me in to spend money. These people are not honest. I could have went else where and got my check up paid for in full but now I owe them $200. This is unprofessional and not how you treat a young woman who works hard for her money.

I have been to many dentists, mainly because I have had some not so great experiences. Thus, making me really hesitant to have work done. Well, Dr. Krell and his staff have lived up to the reviews. My visits have been great. He completed work today that was pretty painless, and I was done before I knew it. What a relief. I'm happy I found his office.

Going for an appointment at Dr. Krell's practice is like going to the bar, Cheers - where everyone knows your name! Dr. Krell and his entire team are caring, friendly professionals who excel at their chosen craft. I have been going there for decades and cannot imagine going elsewhere. I highly recommend this special group!
