SPECIAL PROMOTIONAL FEATURE
by styletome
In prefacing this introduction, we’d like to offer an observation, which should be of interest to all. Regardless of medical school class rankings, graduates are all referred to as “DOCTOR.” With this revelation, we should all know that when choosing a physician, one must accept responsibility for adequately researching the doctor he or she is considering.
Within our present day society, most licensed to practice medicine are truly miracle workers whether they are completely restructuring someone’s face or saving a life. As much as we realize that every physician is an asset to our community, we also know that some have established themselves at the top of their profession and are considered special; these are the ‘elite,’ the very best of the best.
When seeking perfection, we search for the professional who has made it his or her life goal to excel within a field of specialization through many years of study, dedication and determination, continually challenging themselves to advance their knowledge; these brilliant human beings not only save lives but also enrich their communities with a skill set second to none. Beyond this and in order to stay abreast of the latest, almost daily changing medical advancements, the ‘elite’ undergo rigorous maintenance, updating through seminars, conferences and advanced studies to keep current with new technology and procedures.
In adding our ‘Orlando’s Elite Doctors’ section with this issue, we present a group of physicians, all of whom are reputable, Board Certified in their areas of expertise, extremely well recognized within our community and chosen by their peers. Our objective is to initiate a continuing dialogue with our readers, with an aim toward personalizing some of the finest doctors available.

Dr. Ryan L. Mendro and Dr. Lucia Roca Mendro have dedicated their careers to help Central Florida residents restore happier, healthier smiles. Both doctors are board certified Periodontists who have been uniquely trained in treating periodontal (gum) disease and the placement of dental implants. They believe dentistry and periodontics are the perfect combination of art and science, which gives them the opportunity to not only treat disease, but to help improve their patients’ health as well as their smiles!
Dr. Ryan Mendro earned his Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Florida, his Doctor of Dental Surgery at Columbia University, and his Master of Science and Certificate in Periodontics also at the University of Florida. Dr. Lucia Roca Mendro received her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Francisco Marroquin University, her Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the University of Connecticut and completed her Periodontics residency and received her Master of Dental Science at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
Both doctors are Diplomates of the American Board of Periodontology and Implantology, and are active members of the American Dental Association, American Academy of Periodontology, and Florida Association of Periodontists. They are published authors and remain active in the dental community and serve as members in several professional organizations.

Both procedures are minimally invasive and do not require the use of any scalpels or stitches. Additionally, Dr. Ryan L. Mendro and Dr. Lucia Roca Mendro use computed tomography, or 3D scan technology. This technology can allow for the removal of hopeless teeth with the simultaneous placement of dental implants (tooth root replacements).An artificial full set of teeth can be made and attached to the dental implants, which provides an instant and permanent hold that eliminates the risk of looseness or slipping associated with traditional dentures. Sometimes this entire procedure can be performed in just a single day! These implant-supported teeth are designed to look, feel and function just like regular teeth. Treating your gum disease, receding gums and replacing your missing teeth has never been easier!
In their spare time the doctors enjoy cooking, working out, outdoor activities, and spending time together with their sons Matteo and Rio and their french bulldog Maurice.

Ly T Nguyen, MD
Eye Florida, Board-Certified Ophthalmologist
Photo by Kimberly Jefcoat Patients who visit Dr. Ly Nguyen’s office say she is a wonderful doctor; some say she is one of the most skilled ophthalmologists serving the Kissimmee and Saint Cloud communities. Her eyes beam with gratitude when her patients tell her that she is a caring person who takes the time to listen and get to know them personally. Dr Nguyen says “I have seen tens of thousands of cases but each patient’s life story is unique, and I can still remember the details of most of my patients.”
Looking back on her life, many signs point to her path in the field of ophthalmology. Growing up in the countryside in Vietnam, she developed night blindness due to malnutrition. While she was still in college at Brown University, her father developed cataracts at an earlier age due to the harsh sun as a longline fisherman. These personal experiences shape Dr. Nguyen’s passion and mission in helping her patients see better.
As a board-certified ophthalmologist, Dr. Nguyen specializes in cataract, oculoplastic, and minimally-invasive glaucoma surgery. Her residency training at the University of Hawai’i School of Medicine and Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute at the University of Colorado has allowed Dr. Nguyen to bring her surgical expertise and aloha spirit to her private practice, Eye Florida. Her practice’s number one goal is on delivering exceptional personalized eye care for the whole family.
When she is not operating or running her private practice, she is dedicated to giving back to her community. She contributes as Chief of Surgery at Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital and as a previous member of the Board of Trustee for St. Cloud Regional Medical Center. She is a co-founding member of the An Bang Professional, a non-profit organization committed to providing financial assistance to promising high school graduates and underserved communities in the United States and aboard. She believes in sharing her time and knowledge to aspire the next generation of young professionals including medical students at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine. Many of her mentees have been selected to present research findings at prestigious academic conferences and some have gone on to pursue careers in medical research and ophthalmology.
Dr. Nguyen’s one lifelong goal is to write a memoir about her family’s escape from Vietnam in the 1980s and their journey through Hong Kong’s refugee camp. “These memories are stories of where we came from. These are important lessons of hope, determination, success and giving back.” Reflecting on her life’s journey so far, she shares the words of Nelson Mandela: “There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
