Dr. Freeman

Dr. Ross Freeman, originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, pursued his undergraduate studies in chemistry at Indiana University before earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree with “High Academic Distinction” from the Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2011.

During dental school, Dr. Freeman was inducted into the prestigious Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society and was the sole recipient of the Glenn J. Pell Award for excellence in oral surgery.

Following his DDS degree, Dr. Freeman entered a highly competitive Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency at Indiana University Medical Center. His four years of intensive surgical training, completed in 2015, included expertise in reconstructive jaw and facial surgery, TMJ surgery, and the treatment of cancer and tumors. He collaborated with craniofacial and plastic surgery teams to repair cleft lip and palate. He had the unique opportunity to train alongside his father, Dr. Stephen Freeman, a renowned surgeon specializing in microvascular and reconstructive head and neck cancer surgery.

During his residency, Dr. Freeman also received comprehensive training in anesthesia, including pediatric anesthesia, and completed hundreds of general anesthesia cases as part of one of the nation’s top programs.

Upon finishing his residency and receiving his certificate in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Freeman pursued Board Certification, which set him apart in the field. To date, he has performed over 5,000 IV sedations, 50,000 dental extractions, and more than 5,000 dental implants. He is among the few surgeons in the region skilled in advanced all-on-x full-mouth dental implant procedures.

After spending many years in Indiana, Dr. Freeman now resides in Southwest Florida with his wife, three children, and their red Maltipoo, Fin. Outside his practice, he enjoys spending quality time with his family, including cave scuba diving and shark diving.
