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.
John Rodgers, D.M.D.
Dr. Rodgers grew up in Live Oak, Florida, in a family of six kids, where musical talent flowed like sweet tea. After beginning his dental journey as an Air Force assistant, he followed his passion and earned his D.M.D. from Western University of Health Sciences.
Today, Dr. Rodgers splits his time between dental care, homebrewing beer, and jam sessions with his guitar. He lives with his wife Katherine and their two children, Isaac and Ainsley, and brings a perfect harmony of warmth, talent, and precision to our team.
Mindy Lombere D.M.D.
Born in Los Angeles and raised in Hawaii, Dr. Mindy brings island warmth and West Coast dedication to every patient she sees. After completing her undergrad at California State and her dental degree at Western University of Health Sciences, she brought her talents east to serve our community.
She and her husband David are proud parents to Zoe—horseback rider, creative spirit, and the light of their lives. Their home includes dogs Georgia and Daphne, and likely enough tropical plants to fill a nursery. Dr. Mindy’s gentle nature and deep care for patients make her a natural fit for the LFD family.
