Dr. Wadsworth knew that she wanted to become a dentist when she was 13 years old. She used to watch her dentist work on her teeth in the reflection of his glasses, and she thought it was so very interesting! Today, looking back, she says she couldnt be happier with her career choice
Dr. Wadsworth attended the University of Florida for her undergraduate and graduate degrees. She obtained her Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry in 1994, and she continues to refine her skills through memberships in several professional organizations, including the:
Dr. Wadsworth has been married to her husband Rusty (also a dentist) for 28 years, and they have two sons, John and Zach. She and the family live on Lake Weir, so they enjoy spending a lot of their free time on their pontoon boat.
Cheryl has been in the dental field for 26 years, 21 of which have been spent right here at RP Dental & Implants.

She obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree with an emphasis in Marketing & Sales from UNC Greensboro in 1983. She then moved down to Florida in 1995. When she isnt at the dental office, she spends most of her free time with her parents in Leesburg, FL and trying to figure out her 3 little feral female cats. She has always had Labs and never had a cat in her life.
Ginger has spent her entire 19-year career here at RP Dental & Implants, and she credits her longevity to being able to work alongside a great team and doctors. She is originally from Macon, GA and has been married for an impressive 42 years. She and her husband primarily like to spend their weekends with their 2 grown children as well as their 4 grandchildren.
Michele has been a dental hygienist for 21 years so far, and youll realize how much she loves helping people from the moment you meet her. When shes not at the dental office, she is an avid reader (a favorite subject is horses), amateur photographer, and she loves spending time with family.
Renee joined our dental office in 2019, but she brings 21 years of experience to our team. She is truly grateful for the people she gets to work alongside every day, and her enthusiasm definitely contributes to the warm and welcoming atmosphere that our patients love. She started her career as a dental assistant and eventually obtained her hygiene degree in 2003. She married her high school sweetheart in 1999, and today, they have a son and daughter that keep them very busy.
Stephanie has 26 years of dental experience, and she says the most rewarding part of her job is helping patients feel more comfortable while our team gives them their smiles back. In addition to her basic dental training, she also has certifications in dental radiology and Expanded Functions. She is a proud dog mom, and when she isnt walking her 2 babies, she enjoys reading, gardening, and hanging out with friends and family.
Chris is a longtime member of our team, having been with RP Dental & Implants for over 14 years. She deeply enjoys helping patients get what they need as efficiently and comfortably as possible, and nothing makes her happier than changing the way someone feels about dentistry.

On the weekends, she mostly likes to spend time with her husband and 3 girls, but she also enjoys volunteering for many different local organizations.
Shelly is from Chicago and has been working in the dental world for well two decades. She is an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant and truly loves helping patients feel comfortable in the treatment chair. Watching them smile again is always so rewarding!

I have been a dental patient of Dr Lisa Wadsworth for over two years. During that time she provided the crowns for my two implants. The teeth were molars and hard to treat. The procedure couldn't have been more successful. In addition, I had a another tooth break during a holiday weekend. I was able to contact her and arrange for a fix ASAP. Dr. Wadsworth and her staff are professional, competent and caring.

My visit to RP Dental and Implants was amazing. The staff is very friendly and professional. Renee did a great job of cleaning my teeth. Dr. Patel is very caring and excellent in what he does. He took time to explain the procedures and I felt at home. I highly recommend this dental office to anyone looking for a new dentist or looking to have implants done.

I went to Dr. Rish about 5 months ago for the first time to get two cavities filled and now I will not go anywhere else. He was so kind and gentle because he knew I was afraid and a little embarrassed as well. He made me feel so comfortable that I almost forgot where I was. I am no longer afraid of the dentist thanks to him! Thank you Dr. Rish for everything you have done for me.

My wife and I have been patients at this dental practice for over 20 years and with the addition of Dr. Rish Patel it expands the ability to now have an implant done in this office. This was a new experience for her and she was amazed at how totally pain-free it was. What a blessing to have two such professional and kind dentists so close to home. Thank you Dr. Rish and Dr. Lisa.

This dental office by far is the best. The office women are extremely friendly and helpful. My dental hygienist, Michele is very good and your teeth are sparkling when you leave. I love Dr Rish and by far the best dentist I have ever been to. I live near Brownwood in the Villages but the drive is totally worth it

Had my first visit at RP Dental Implants today. The office staff was friendly and very efficient. The hygienist did an excellent cleaning and was very pleasant. Dr. Wadsworth was wonderful. I felt more comfortable there than I have at several dentists' offices I've tried in an attempt to find a competent, honest dentist that I can trust in this area.
