Hailing from Mitchell, SD, Dr. Houska is proud to provide world-class care to his

local community. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at the

A true family man, Dr. Randy and his wife, Rita, have six children and several

grandchildren. In 2009, his life took an unexpected turn when he and his family

became reality stars, appearing on MTV’s #1 rated show, ‘Teen Mom 2'. Over the

course of several seasons, he became known as “Chelsea’s dad,” a.k.a. “Papa

Randy.” Fans of the show love his snarky, quick-witted attitude, and for being a

truly supportive, loving father. He isn’t shy about his experience on the show and

engages in speaking events to talk about what it was like being in the public eye

for over a decade.

Dr. Randy loves staying updated on state-of-the-art practices in dentistry and

enjoying family time, boating, and coaching his daughters’ softball teams. When

he needs to clear his head, you’ll find him cruising around town on his Harley

Davidson. Dr. Houska and his wife are also avid Cornhusker and University of

South Dakota Coyote fans and love to attend as many games as possible.

Dr. Randy is actively involved with the community and has utilized his public

image to promote his charitable deeds. Through his philanthropy, Dr. Randy

works with women, especially single mothers, who have been victims of both

mental and physical abuse.
