Greg Ross, DMD, MDS
YOUR PALMETTO BAY ORTHODONTIST
A smile can give someone the confidence and self-esteem to excel in life. This is what I love about being an orthodontist—it allows me to positively impact people’s lives. I approach each day with great enthusiasm and I’m thankful to have a career that I’m passionate about.
I was born and raised in Miami and attended Palmetto for both middle and high school. I’m grateful that I can serve the community that I grew up in, creating beautiful smiles for generations of South Florida families.
Creating a beautiful smile takes time, and I truly value the relationships we build with our patients during treatment. I love the journey of transforming each smile and watching the personalities of our patients blossom throughout treatment.
Serving Our Community
I consider it an honor to be able to donate my services and value the experience of giving to others in need, and I volunteer my time as a member of the Craniofacial Team at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital.
Some of our favorite patients are a part of the Craniofacial program and their smile transformations are life-changing. It’s something that our team members and myself are proud to be a part of.

Outside of the Office
Maddox, our office mascot, is my Boston Terrier puppy. You may even see him around the office from time to time.
Both my father, Scott, and my brother, Brad, are periodontists in South Florida. As someone who values his family, I’m extremely fortunate to be able to live close and interact with them almost every day.
In my free time, I like to stay very active with exercise, traveling, and being outdoors. I enjoy paddle boarding, running, boxing, and playing tennis, as well as basketball.
As a sports fan, I closely follow the Miami Heat, Dolphins, and Hurricanes, as well as the Texas Longhorns.
