Meet The Doctors
Alex Hawkins, DDS
Dentist & Owner
Dr. Alex Hawkins is a native Richmonder who graduated from Richmond Christian School and went on to earn both his bachelor’s degree and ultimately his DDS degree from VCU in 2004. After associating in Lynchburg and then Short Pump, he purchased what is now known as Hawkins Family Dentistry (HFD) in 2009.
A passion for connecting the dots between oral and whole-body health, as well as a belief that relevant technology can assist in that mission has led to Dr. Hawkins’ investments in LANAP (a laser therapy for the treatment of gum disease), CEREC single-visit crowns, and salivary testing with protocols that positively impact your oral microbiome. He seeks to integratively blend the best of both traditional and alternative methods, thereby helping patients realize the benefits of improved overall health. He has also spent considerable time serving those in need, having volunteered for four dental missions in Honduras and the Andes mountains of Peru.
A former top vote-getter (by his peers) in Richmond Magazine’s Top Dentists, he is a proud member of the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health (AAOSH) and his team has recently completed coursework with the Integrative Dental Medicine Scholar Society. When not encouraging patients on their health journey, Dr. Hawkins enjoys time with his wife Amy, their three children and daughter-in-law, and their two dogs–a German Shepherd (Maggie) and a Cavapoo (Sebastian). He’s also energized by the perfect pun, rousing games of pickleball and ping-pong, and cheering on the “soon-to-be National Champion” VCU Men’s Basketball team at every opportunity!
Collin Muhler, DDS
Dentist
Dr. Collin Muhler fantastically embodies the core values of HFD, graduating from UMBC in 2018 and the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 2022. The son of a dentist, Dr. Muhler grew up working in various capacities in dentistry, giving him a unique appreciation for the importance of every team member. In undergrad, he served on multiple trips to Nicaragua, bringing both supplies and treatment through Global Brigades. Seeing the happiness that giving back brought people caused him to love the dental profession even more.
A high school track star and avid ultimate frisbee player in college, Dr. Muhler values movement’s role in promoting wellness while also being a member of the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health. With his experience practicing in a large Maryland office, we’re eager to see him shine and we know he’ll quickly grow a following at HFD, due in no small part to his exceptional clinical abilities and servant leadership. Joyfully married to Dr. Chelsey Muhler, he also has several hobbies to keep his hand/eye skills top-notch, such as billiards, competitive video games, and woodworking.
Chelsey Muhler, DDS
Dentist
Dr. Chelsey Muhler was raised in the Richmond area and graduated from Manchester High School. Exuding kindness, she grew to love dentistry as a result of beginning dental assisting at age 16. Eventual mission work during school furthered that calling, and after obtaining her bachelor’s degree from VCU she went on to graduate in 2022 with her DDS degree from the University of Maryland, where she met Dr. Collin Muhler.
After a little over two years of private practice and now back in her hometown, Dr. Muhler has an adept eye for esthetics, is Invisalign certified, and has a genuine heart for treating the senior community. A member of the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health, she will win you over in record time with her friendly personality and her blend of humility and confidence. With a baby on the way, she also enjoys sewing, quilting, baking, and their two dogs, a Wheaton Terrier named Chief, and Captain, a Bernadoodle.
