He also volunteered with PUSH America (People Understand the Severely Handicapped). After graduating from FSU, he continued his education at New York University where he received his D.D.S. degree. After graduation, he completed his pediatric dental residency at NYU and Bellevue Hospital for advanced training in pediatrics and children with special health care needs. During his time in New York, he also spent time volunteering with Give Kids a Smile, Ronald McDonald House, and the Special Olympics.
All these experiences helped reinforce Dr. Ryans passion for working with children. He brought this passion with him when he moved back to Florida and made Palm Beach County his home where he has been treating the children of our community since 2009. Dr. Ryan and his wife Michele are parents to their son Dean (who is soon to become a big brother!). They love to spend their time with their adorable dogs and explore all our amazing area has to offer and build strong roots in our community.

We just had our first appointment at Dr. Ryan's office and had such a wonderful experience! All the staff were so kind and helpful. Casey, our hygienist, and Dr. Ryan did such a great job with my super active 2 year old (it was his first ever appointment), and my very nervous and sensitive 4 year old. Dr. Ryan took the time to explain everything to us. You can tell he truly cares about his patients. As we were leaving, my four year-old declared to the front desk staff that she "had a great time!" Also, the office is beautiful and clean. I would highly recommend this dental practice!

Such an amazing office!! I love that they bring you back when your appointment is scheduled instead of some offices where you sit in the waiting room up to 20mins past your appointment. The staff is SUPER friendly and really went out of their way to make my 4 year old comfortable.

Dr. Ryan and staff were outstanding. We've found our dentist. He was knowledgeable, friendly, not pushy, and had a magical touch with our somewhat resistant 3 year old.

Everyone we interacted with from initial call to make the appointment to check out was amazing. Joanna was great as well and explained everything step by step and was so sweet in her interaction with my son. Couldn't have been a better first experience for him!

Great Dentist. Honest and explains every thing with detail, discusses options with out trying to over treat my children. I highly recommend this office. The offices girls are awesome too, even great with my teen daughter.

My 11 year old son chipped his tooth over the weekend while playing at a friends birthday party. He went down the bouncy slide and hit his friends knee pretty hard, cracking the tooth in half. The tooth was very sensitive and painful to the touch. My dentist could not get him in until later in the week so I reached out to Dr. Owaski's office. The staff was very sweet, compassionate and knowledgeable. The team rearranged their busy schedule to squeeze him in at 11:00am same day. The good doctor did his magic and fixed the tooth in no time. It was a painless experience for my son. My wife was so relieved and so was I. If I could give them a 10 star review I would. Highly recommend him and I am so glad I found our new pediatric dentist who he and his staff does an AMAZING job:)

I can't say enough great things about this office. Every experience has been outstanding from the moment we walk in the door until we check out. I moved out of state 2 years ago and called the office requesting medical records and a referral for my daughter and Michelle, at the front desk immediately remembered my family and went above and beyond to assist me! Love this practice!

My 8 year old son chipped his adult teeth while we were here on vacation. Dr. Ryan and his staff quickly gave us a cancelation spot on a very busy day. They were all kind, helpful, and clearly communicated with each other, so everyone knew what we were there for and we didn't have to repeat the story to each person we spoke to. Even though this was an odd situation, we would come back again, if ever we needed to!

This was our first visit at Dr.Ryan . The office was clean and beautifully decorated . When we entered the front desk was very welcoming and the hygienist Nabila was right on time to take us back . Nabila really took the time to make sure my 5 year old was comfortable and explained everything they she was going to do . After the cleaning Nabila and Dr Ryan took the time to review home care with me and my daughter . This dental office is an absolutely dream very professional and make the kids excited to come back .

We had the best first dental experience for my 17-month-old daughter at Pediatric Dentistry in the Gardens!! Dr. Ryan and ALL of his staff made us feel welcome and at ease - not to mention they even made the visit fun! Thoughtful touches such as a little toy or distraction during examination made all the difference. The office is very clean and organized. Dr. Ryan has a calming and caring presence that made us feel very comfortable right away. He took the time to educate us and answer any questions. I would highly recommend this pediatric dentistry practice.

My 12 year old son was referred here. He suffers from anxiety. He had a few cavities that needed attention. At his last dentist he was so upset he locked himself in the bathroom and wouldn't come out for the appointment. Dr. Ryan and staff were so kind and patient with my son! We had a successful appointment and were able to take care of 1 cavity. Will be going back in month th complete the next one. I highly recommend Dr. Ryan.

All round great experience! Dr. Ryan and his staff were exceptionally friendly, competent and professional. About 15 years ago I was sitting in the same dentist chair being examined by Dr. Mays. It's surreal to think now I am bringing my own daughter to the same place to have what I hope will also be a pleasant pediatric dentist experience. Thank you Dr. Ryan and Ladies for making our visit such an enjoyable one! Can't believe I'm saying this, but we look forward to our next dentist visit!!

Friendly staff were great with my dentist-phobic kid. They're quite booked so scheduling was a bit hard but they are earnest about getting you in as soon as possible.
