Originally from Oregon, Dr. Jay Ross moved to Southern California to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry. After graduating in 2009, he had the honor to serve our country as a commissioned Dental Officer in the United States Navy. While on active duty, he completed a credentialing program comparable to a general dentistry residency; deployed twice as a Battalion Dental Officer, once to Afghanistan and the other to Spain; and was the Assistant Dental Officer in charge of a naval dental clinic. After completing his active duty commitment, Dr. Ross decided to call Ventura County his home and began working in private practice. He has also continued his Naval career as a Navy Reserve Dental Officer.
