Meet Our Staff

 

Dr. Ron Ewert, DDS

Dr. Ewert graduated with his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 1994 from Loma Linda University. He was senior class president and graduated first in his class. He worked with the patient relations department, by referral, to accept patients with the most challenging dental and emotional needs. He has a friendly and outgoing spirit and truly enjoys working with people.

 

He worked for two years, after completing his dental education, with his brother, Dr. Mike Ewert, in Lake Arrowhead, California. That helped him to develop the 'real world' skills and experience needed to practice on his own.
