Dr. Castor is a New Hampshire native with a big heart and an even bigger résumé. A former Air Force Pararescueman, he served with distinction and received multiple honors, including the Purple Heart. After military service, he traded his parachute for a dental chair and graduated from the Medical College of Georgia in 2006.
He founded Lakeland Family Dentistry that same year and has been serving the community ever since. Outside of work, he’s a proud father of four, husband to Stacie, an adrenaline junkie, and a master of office pranks. His favorite part of dentistry? Helping people feel confident about their smiles—especially when they leave laughing.
