Ray Caruso

Lone Peak Dental Group
Chief Executive Officer

Ray Caruso is the CEO of Lone Peak Dental Group, a collection of pediatric and orthodontic dental practices throughout the United States. Little did he know when he joined the US Army as a dental assistant in 1991, he was starting a long career in dentistry. After serving his country and graduating college, he joined Heartland Dental Care working at the front desk of one of their early offices. Heartland shaped his business acumen and provided the basis for his growth into new operational roles. He later joined DecisionOne Dental in Chicago as VP of Operations and then quickly became the COO. The experiences in change management and execution prepared him for his move to Lone Peak Dental, where he built the infrastructure necessary to support and grow it into the $100+ million-dollar company it is today. When he’s not working, he’s playing guitar or hiking with his wife and daughters in Denver, CO.
