Alamo Heights Oral Surgery is proud and pleased to have Dr. John Hultquist as a member of our team!

Dr. Hultquist was a resident at Wilford Hall Medical Center serving under then Chairman of Oral Surgery, Dr. Medley. Because of their time together, Dr. Medley was very familiar with the way Dr. Hultquist interacted with patients. He knew that Dr. Hultquist would make a great member of the AHOMS team. 

Dr. Hultquist spent years serving as an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon in the Air Force. He also was tapped for leadership roles: first as Commander of the Department of Orthopedics, and later as Chairman of the Oral Surgery Department at Wilford Hall Medical Center as well as Special Consultant to the Surgeon General. 

Dr. Hultquist received multiple awards during his Air Force career: the Air Mobility Command Junior Dental Educator of the Year, twice the Air Mobility Command Dental Officer of the Year, the Air Force Commendation Medal, two Meritorious Service medals, and finally, at the time of his retirement, the prestigious Legion of Merit Award.

Following his retirement from the Air Force in 2017 after 22 years of service, Dr. Hultquist continued by serving veterans at the Audie Murphy Memorial Veteran’s Administration Hospital as the Chief of the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Department.

Originally from Montgomery, Alabama, Dr. Hultquist is married to Crystal, a professional nurse who is very active with Samaritan’s Purse and Children’s Heart Project.  She regularly flies to locations all over the world delivering heart patients to and from their surgeries in the United States.

The couple, both former competitive skaters, met during his six year OMS residency at--of all places--the Rollercade here in San Antonio. They were at a skating competition; John was a judge, Crystal a competitor. 

They have two daughters, Emily and Lauren, both of whom were competitive gymnasts with the Alamo Gymnastics Center team. They both attend Lutheran High School.

Dr. Hultquist and his family are members of Concordia Lutheran Church, where he is an elder.  The family enjoy volunteering and serving their church and in both the local community and abroad to do mission trips.


“John and Crystal Hultquist are the kind of people who go out of their way to help people”, said Dr. Medley.  “This fits in perfectly with the philosophy we have had in our practice from day one,” said Dr Medley.

Dr. John Hultquist,

DMD, MD
