Alex and Trevor Craig were first introduced to Dr. Jeff Hirschfelder when they were three years old and he was their dentist.

Fast forward nearly 25 years later, to January of this year, and those three-year-olds have become Dr. Alex Craig and Dr. Trevor Craig and have joined Dr. Hirschfelder in dental practice at his office which has been renamed Geneseo Family Dental, 116 West 2nd St., Geneseo,

The Craig twins are the sons of Bill and Michelle Craig of Geneseo. They are 2014 Geneseo High School graduates and earned bachelor’s degrees in 2018 from the University of Iowa, and both graduated from the University Of Iowa College Of Dentistry in May of 2022.

Trevor Craig has been practicing dentistry with the Solis Dental Group in Moline since he graduated from dental school, and his brother, Alex, has been working with Galesburg Family Dentistry and in Bettendorf at AAA Court Family Dental.

Trevor and his wife Haley live in Taylor Ridge and they have a 10-month-old son, Bodie.

Alex and his wife, Madeline, live in Bettendorf, and are expecting their first child.

Both Alex and Trevor will continue working at their present practices and will add Geneseo Family Dental to their schedules with office hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday through Thursday.,

Dr. Hirschfelder also will continue practicing, but will transition into retirement by working one day a week.

Trevor Craig explained that he and his brother “have essentially kept in touch with Dr. Jeff through our undergraduate and graduate studies, Dr. Jeff was always our dentist…About one year ago he expressed he was looking for some help, as Dr. Bruce Fehlman had retired from the practice, and Dr. Jeff was the only dentist in the practice.”

And as of Jan. 1 of this year, the Geneseo practice officially includes Dr. Hirschfelder and the Craig brothers.

Trevor Craig commented, “Alex and I are both so thankful and grateful to be involved in dentistry in our hometown. It allows us an opportunity to care for people in a community that provided so many opportunities for us growing up.”
