Experienced Dentists in Georgia
Dr. Ron Fields
DDS
Dr. Ron Fields was born and raised in South Georgia just east of Albany, in McRae. He grew up playing every sport available but especially loved football, baseball and tennis. A passion of his youth that has remained a constant is his love of the outdoors. Every moment he was not in school or on a sports field, he was hunting and fishing.
Dr. Fields graduated with honors from Telfair County High School in 2003. Throughout high school, he worked a range of jobs, from being the chef at a local pizza place and working at the local hardware store, to loading watermelons for local farmers and working for Coca Cola. Following his first year of college, Dr. Fields volunteered for two years as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, in London, England.
Dr. Ken Sellers
DDS
Dr. Ken Sellers’ path into dentistry has been very unconventional. He was born in Hazlehurst, GA, where he grew up loving sports and anything outdoors. He graduated with honors from Jeff Davis High School and then attended Mercer University for two years before transferring to the University of Georgia, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English.
For the next 17 years he started up and sold several businesses, including a coffee roasting company, an unfinished furniture manufacturing plant, and a large cabinet company. On October 31, 2009 everything changed when he lost his cabinet company in a fire. Faced with starting over he made the decision to go back to school and become a dentist.
Dr. Carly Thomas
DDS
Dr. Carly moved to Valdosta, Georgia in 1980 when her father was in the military, and she graduated from Lowndes High School in 1991. She earned her bachelor’s degree in biology from Phillip’s University, and then went on to earn her dental degree with distinction and honors from the University of Oklahoma in 1999. There she was elected to Omicron Kappa Upsilon, a national dental honor society whose membership is selected based upon character and academic excellence.
Immediately following her dental education, she earned her specialty certificate in Pediatric Dentistry from the University of Florida where she held the position of chief resident. Dr. Carly completed her board certification in 2007 and became a Fellow with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, a distinction earned by fewer than 3% of pediatric dentists. Dr. Carly has practiced pediatric dentistry in South Georgia since 2001, and she’s excited about getting to know each of her patients and their parents.
