Cooper Dental Group Welcomes Dr. Nery Ruano as New Owner
ORMOND BEACH, FL — Cooper Dental Group is excited to announce that Dr. Nery Ruano has officially assumed ownership of the practice, beginning a new chapter built on the same trusted relationships, exceptional care, and patient-first philosophy that our community has come to know.
While leadership has changed, our commitment remains the same—to provide every patient with outstanding dental care rooted in integrity, open communication, excellence, and compassion. Dr. Ruano is honored to continue that legacy while bringing his own dedication to personalized, comprehensive treatment.
“It is truly an honor to serve the Ormond Beach community and become part of the Cooper Dental Group family,” said Dr. Ruano. “I believe the best dental care begins with listening. My goal is for every patient to feel welcomed, respected, and informed throughout every step of their care. We are committed to creating an environment where people feel comfortable asking questions, confident in their treatment, and cared for like family.”
Dr. Ruano’s philosophy centers on building trust through meaningful communication and treating each patient as an individual. He takes the time to educate patients about their oral health, explain treatment options, and ensure they feel comfortable making decisions about their care.
That commitment is already reflected in the experiences of his patients. One shared, “Dr. Nery Ruano explained my exam results in great detail, was very helpful and personable.” Another wrote, “He goes out of his way to make sure the patient is comfortable and knows what is coming up next during the process.”
Dr. Cooper also expressed his confidence in the future of the practice.
“Over the past several months, I’ve had the opportunity to get to know Dr. Ruano—not only as a dentist, but as a person and a family man. It became clear to me very quickly that he shares the same values that have always been important to Cooper Dental Group: integrity, compassion, excellence, and treating every patient with respect. After dedicating so many years to caring for this community, it means the world to know that the practice and the patients I’ve been privileged to serve will be in such good hands. I couldn’t be more excited to pass the torch to such a great guy, and I know he and his family will continue building on the legacy we’ve created together.”
As Cooper Dental Group moves forward, patients can continue to expect the friendly faces, familiar atmosphere, and dedicated team they know and trust. Together, our team remains committed to delivering exceptional care while building lasting relationships with the families and individuals we are privileged to serve. We believe that every interaction is an opportunity to live out our core values—serving with integrity, communicating openly, pursuing excellence, and showing compassion in everything we do.
Whether you’ve been with us for years or are visiting for the first time, we look forward to welcoming you and helping you achieve a healthy, confident smile.
