Dr. Dietel was born and raised in Chaska, Minnesota. If you have never heard of Chaska, you are not the only one. Hank Snow, a Canadian-American Country singer referred to Chaska in his song, “I have been everywhere.”  Currently there are approximately 24,000 inhabitants. Chaska has a long past. Originally inhabited by Mound Builders and later the Dakota. The ancient mounds can be found today in the city square. Chaska refers to the first male born child in the language of the Dakota. More recently there are two native Chashassan actors in the movie Fargo.  The doctors, health care providers, and staff at Frankel Dentistry are pleased to welcome their favorite Chaskan native son, Phillip Dietel, DMD.

At the young age of 15, Dr. Dietel knew he wanted to be a dentist. His college advisors suggested his pre-dental track. He received his Bachelor of Science in nutrition and food science from the University of Minnesota. (Yes, he is a great cook and baker. His carrot cake was the highlight of last year’s Thanksgiving Dinner.) After graduating Midwestern University Dental School in 2018, Dr. Dietel sought to further his training and completed a one-year General Practice Residency at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. Dr. Dietel is happy to call Ohio home but will always remain a Gopher fan. He enjoys reading, and has taken a keen interest in world history. He also enjoys traveling and documenting his trips through photography.

Dr. Dietel strives to provide the highest quality of dental care and to treat his patients as if they are family. This means not only caring for short term needs but developing long term goals and working to achieve a healthy smile. His innate abilities and unique aptitude are changing lives a smile at a time.

We are sure he is missed in Chaska but feel fortunate to have him here in Ohio at Frankel Dentistry.
