Dr. Ryan Frost
Dentist, Owner
Born and raised in Waterloo, Dr. Frost grew up with aspirations of becoming a tree farmer like his father. Ultimately, he chose to follow his grandfather into dentistry.

Dr. Frost graduated from The University of Iowa College of Dentistry, where he participated in dental scientific research and served as president of his class. Dr. Frost began practice in Greenfield upon graduation.

Dr. Frost's enjoyment for his profession continues to grow.
