Dr. Randall (Randy) Hedrick has first hand experience as a general dentist. He understands the anatomy of the tooth and its function within the occlusion. Dr. Hedrick was a general dentist in St. Petersburg from 1983-1991. With a dedication to making root canal therapy easier for the patient and the general dentists who referred to him, he returned for specialized training in endodontics from 1991-1993.

Dr. Hedrick attended the prestigious program at the University of Texas in San Antonio. He then returned to St. Petersburg to share his knowledge of endodontics with the dentists who encouraged him as a general dentist. Dr. Hedrick attained Diplomate status with the American Board of Endodontics in 1999, the first Endodontist to achieve this accomplishment in Pinellas County. Today, Dr. Hedrick is one of only four Board Certified Endodontists practicing in Pinellas County. He has been active with many dental associations and was president of the Pinellas County Dental Association in 1998-1999. In 1997 he received a Special Recognition Award from the Florida Dental Association for his work on the Direct Assignment dental plan.
