Dr. Kelly Maixner DMD

......

Dr. Kelly Maixner was born and raised in North Dakota. After graduating from Montana State University he went to dental school at Nova Southeastern in Ft. Lauderdale, where he received his dental degree. Kelly moved to Alaska in 2007 for a pediatric dental residency. Kelly’s wife, Margaret, found him in 2009 and they were married the following year. They are the parents of four, bubbly children Rosemary, Ven, Birdie, and Lulu. Dr. Kelly has been providing pediatric dental services in the Matanuska Susitna Valley since 2009.

Before Kelly decided to become a pediatric dentist, he was a farmer, a snowboard instructor, a soldier in the National Guard, a bartender, a doughnut-maker, a physical therapy assistant for the Phoenix Suns, a state champion boxer, and a semi-professional football player for the Bozeman Kodiaks. An avid runner and competitor, Kelly has completed multiple marathons, triathlons and even competed in the Iditarod seven times! Currently Dr. Kelly is ‘retired’ from racing in the Iditarod, but look for him on the trails helping train his fellow musher’s dog teams.
