Dentist Biography: Dr. Ron Owen Biography Dentistry might be in Dr. Ron Owen 's blood. His father was a dentist so Ron was always familiar with the profession, but he didn 't always picture himself as a dentist. It seems fate pictured it all along for Ron; he just had to go through a few things before catching on. Ron has always been good with his hands. Like many mechanically-minded boys, he loved to work on things and 'tinker' just for fun. He could get lost in a project, which he created for himself, and simply figure out the way something works. As Ron matured that love for tinkering grew to a much larger scale; Ron fell in love with airplanes. He wanted nothing more than to be a pilot. That was plan A. Plan A was followed by plan B, a plan C and a plan D. Ron had options.

Plan A would have been exhilarating but Ron soon learned that he needed glasses. Pilots don't wear glasses. With plan A suddenly shoved off the table, Ron decided to become an air traffic controller. One point changes everything This would be easy, Ron thought. All he needed to get his air traffic control license was a 94 on the exam.Without delay, or much preparation, Ron took the exam!I think I did it,he told himself. Maybe air traffic controlling was not really in the cards for Ron either. When he received the results, his eyes couldn't believe what they saw. On the paper in front of him was the grade 93. One point changes everything. One point was all it took to snatch plan B from Ron's grasp and send him towards another plan.I probably should have studied, he thought as he set that dream aside and made plans to become a dentist. Sometimes plans serve us best by closing doors and directing us to an opportunity that we didn't plan for. Dentistry suits Ron. Maybe it should have been his plan all along but he needed to get other ideas out of his system first. Life is funny like that.

After studying and becoming a dentist Ron pictured one day opening his own independent practice. He didn't know what it would look like, he just felt that it needed to happen. He wanted to have an environment that matched his passions for forward thinking, excellent care, perpetual improvement, and modern education. The combination of these qualities could give his patients relevant dental care and the best possible treatment. This wasn't just Ron's aspiration it was, and always has been, his chief concern. It all happened. Today, Dental Care of Mid Florida'steam is THE most highly trained dental team in the county, if not the state. Their commitment to continued education is what sets them apart as a renowned, dedicated team.Every two years the staff and the doctors all do a minimum of 32 hours of continued education. Every time the doctors go to classes, they bring the staff with them, which is fairly unusual. Just do the right things and hard work consistently pays off. The key is hard work. Consistently Ron has worked hard at what was in front of him so that each step he takes builds momentum. That doesn't mean moments of risk never arise. They do. But if Ron knows anything it is how to push through, do his absolute best, and trust what he knows. A perfect example of this happened in 2005 when Ron found himself, and the practice, at a crossroad. He knew it was time to expand the practice from Avon Park to Sebring. It was a risk --a scary one with all the uncertainties that accompanied the expansion--but, to this day Ron believes: Taking that risk was the best thing that ever happened to this practice Going out on a limb usually pays off. It pays off because Ron remains true to his priorities -putting his patients first. Being on the front line of dental technology brings his practice more opportunity than they sometimes know what to do with, but it is a thrilling and rewarding ride.

When Ron is asked what he is most proud of about his practice he gives an unconventional response. I'm most proud that I have continued to learn new things each and every year His life is never idle. Ron never misses out on opportunities because he is always looking for them. This keeps the practice in perpetual movement so that he has increasingly more to learn and get better at. His quest for learning leads him to pursuits in business, hobbies and home alike. Few know that Ron built two antique airplanes (astearman trainerand ataylorcraft); he has his real estate license; and he stays up to date with the newest dental technology. Idleness is not in his vocabulary because Ron believes this mantra: Not learning would be like giving up. Giving up is not an option. On top of learning new skills and methods, Ron learns more about life's value the more he accomplishes.Younger Ron found money and a particular lifestyle motivating. Now, Ron's motivation is entirely different. He is motivated when his team is thriving. Nothing is as rewarding, in business, as seeing that hisstaff are having fulfilling careers and learning all that they can.

Dentistry had to be in Ron's destiny because it could not suit him better. His drive for new knowledge matches the dentist's world incomparably. When asked what a typical day is like at Dental Care of Mid Florida, Ron says there really is no such thing as an average day Every day has new challenges and new opportunities. Each patient brings in a unique story. While some of the treatments are repeated (i.e.crowns, thefillings, thecleanings, etc..) no two days, or two challenges, are identical. That's exactly what keeps Ron giving it his all each day. Spend ten minutes with this man and you will get far more than you expected. His heart exudes kindness and his expertise is award-worthy. Don't take our word for it though. Visit ourFacebookpage to get a behind-the-scenes view of Dental Care of Mid Florida and Dr. Ron Owen in action.

Some people are fortunate enough to know from a young age who they want to become one day. Dr. Chris Forsee is one of those lucky few and became a dentist. He knew at a young age that a medical career would suit him. Dr. Chris Forsee, Dentist at Dental Care of Mid Florida Growing up in Kentucky, Chris had the opportunity to shadow physicians of different kinds to imagine himself in their role. He observed the qualities of a physician's career that he liked--caring for people, solving problems, encouraging wellness--alongside the qualities he didn't like--80 or 100-hour workweeks, being constantly on call. The cons overshadowed the pros. While studying atthe University of Kentucky Chris started working for a dentist and orthodontist.

This was the answer Chris sought. He could become a dentist and have the best of both worlds. He could take care of people, provide them life-improving medical solutions, and still have a healthy family life. Today, Chris gets to work with his wife and partner in crime, Misty. There is nothing better than that.

Chris grew up in the small town of Wheatley, Kentucky. It was a poor town of only 72 people. His role now in light of where he began still brings him awe. American dreams aren't just fairy tales. After becoming a dentist Chris practiced in Kentucky for four years before moving to Key West. In 2008, Chris and Misty decided it would be nice to live closer to family who lived in Sebring, FL. They started looking for a dental practice at the same time Dr. Ron Owen was searching for an associate for Dental Care of Mid Florida.

Once again, Chris watched the pieces fall into place before him. He couldn't have picked a better set up. Ron flew down to Key West to discuss a partnership. Instantly they two doctors hit it off. The gentlemen shook hands, Chris became a partner, and they have never looked back since. Because of the camaraderie of the doctors and eager staff, the practice is full of heart. Nowhere else are there two doctors with the same vision and the commitment to education that Dr Owen and Dr Forsee have. The sincerity and compassion that undergirds Chris's work made him attractive to Ron immediately, and it makes him invaluable to Dental Care of Mid Florida's patients.

Sometimes Chris takes a moment to think about what makes this practice unique and the list seems endless. He is proud of the advancements they've made. Their commitment to continued education has led them to incorporate cutting-edge technology that rewards outstanding results. Without a doubt, Chris believes that this practices gives the highest quality of dental care possible. The team's theme is to always be learning. They cover all aspects of dentistry under one roof. He doesn't consider himself a jack of all trades, but they are experts in all aspects of dental care. That alone is a feat to relish. But that's not all that makes Chris proud. Beyond their technological advancements, Dental Care of Mid Florida isa true family business. On one hand, Chris gets to travel all over the country and listen to the top educators in dentistry; on the other hand Chris gets to spend abundant quality time with his adventurous family. The reward of working smart is that it brings life a balance.

Chris's day is a blend of family and work - a blend he treasures. The day starts with family. He and Misty are up at 5am so that they can workout at the gym together. They get back home in time to cook a family breakfast. The goal is to have something home made every morning for breakfast. They are usually out of the house to school and work by 7:45am. They work, work, work eagerly until 5pm then are back to family activities like homework, gymnastics, tennis...in the evening. Chris cannot imagine his life any other way.

Anyone who meets Chris knows how much he adores family. In fact, he is always adding more people to his family. Chris tries to treat every patient like family. Giving people love and the highest quality dentistry perpetually motivates Chris. Most of all, it's a great feeling to have a platform to share my passion every day This passion is a blend of smart technology and relationship. Technology has changed the dentist industry profoundly. Chris never could have foreseen the advances we have today just ten years ago; even 2 years ago! That's how rapidly technology improves and shapes their ability to help people, and because of that it's a very exciting time to be in the field. No doubt the patients of Dental Care of Mid Florida are fortunate to have Dr. Chris Forsee to point them toward oral health and be a warm part of their day.

Everything was great until I got my third bridge-they had to order it three times because it was made incorrectly at the lab. The final bridge was set in my mouth and they did not show me with a mirror what it looked like. When I got home and saw it, I was appalled. It looks very fake, like a big lump. When I contacted the office again to complain, they said: "if your bite is fine and it doesn't bother you, then there is nothing we can do." They will not even take a second look. I gave this office a lot of money and I feel that I was not treated professionally.

The 2 stars have nothing to do with Dr. Forsee or his hygienist, it has to do with whomever answered their phone Wednesday in the Sebring office. First let me say that Dr. Forsee is one of the kindest and gentlest dentists I have been to and I have been to several in my 53 years. But when I called to set up a cleaning/checkup the girl that answered the phone was great and ready to get me right in until she pulled my name up in the computer and saw I hadn't been there since 2014. Then she changed her tone like I was trash and said "well, you haven't been here since 2014 so the next available appointment for you to see Dr. Forsee won't be until 4 to 6 weeks out". I was quite shocked and from that point I said I will call you back. So, because of that experience I probably won't be back. But, if you are reading this review and wondering if this is the dentist for you I can honestly say it's one of the best I have ever been to!
