Seacrest Dental is a family dental practice in every sense of the word. From our family to yours, welcome!
We can't wait to get to know you better. We'd also like to introduce ourselves to you so that you can learn more about who we are before your appointment.
Dr. Sarika Tamaskar attended the University of Maryland, College Park for her Bachelors of Science and then the University of Maryland in Baltimore to complete her Doctor of Dental Surgery...where she met her husband Dr. Reese Ruder. She then went on to receive residency training at the Veteran’s Affairs Hospital in Dayton, OH where she was trained in hospital dentistry. Dr. Tamaskar is a member of the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Dental Association, and the Florida Dental Society.
Dr. Tamaskar loves dentistry because she gets to meet and help people in her community. She strives to give every patient a comfortable and informative experience with every dental visit. She enjoys treating patients of all ages but takes a special interest in treating children.
Dr. Tamaskar is a Maryland native learning to embrace life by the beach! When she is not in the office, Dr. Tamaskar enjoys exploring restaurants in the area and spending time with friends and family, including her golden doodle Elsa.
Dr. Reese Ruder is the eldest son of Dr. Fred Ruder. Dr. Reese Ruder followed in his father's footsteps, also earning his DDS from the University of Maryland in Baltimore where he met his wife, Dr. Sarika Tamaskar. Dr. Reese Ruder is a member of the Academy of General Dentistry.
Dr. Reese feels fortunate that he has a career that allows him to directly help people every single day. He enjoys the opportunity to help a patient achieve a brand new smile or to relieve a patient's pain and help them keep their mouth healthy. He also loves turning the image of a dentist as someone to be feared completely around, and his favorite part of his job is when a patient comes in fearful and discovers how simple and easy dental care can really be.
Outside of the office, Dr. Reese can be found with his family or playing racquetball, soccer, or basketball.
Our receptionist, Colleen, is one of the first friendly faces to greet you when you arrive at Seacrest Dental Miramar Beach. She earned her bachelor's degree in anthropology from Marquette University and her master's degree from Washington State University. Colleen loves meeting, greeting, and taking care of all of our patients.
Colleen is originally from Michigan and loves to learn, read, watch movies, and spend time with her family.
Jenny is our wonderful hygienist. Jenny received her training in dental hygiene from Gulf Coast and she also participated in research at the University of Florida College of Dentistry. Jenny loves being a dental hygienist because it gives her the opportunity to both be around people and help them have better health. Patients are constantly telling us how gentle and thorough she is!
When Jenny is not at work, she loves to fish and walk the beach.
You can see Jenny's friendly face both behind our front desk and next to you in the dental chair. She brings with her eighteen years of dental experience and received her training at DCTC, in Rosemount, MN.
Jenny's favorite part of her job is all of our wonderful patients. Whether she's visiting with them, helping them with something specific, or educating them about their dental health, they make coming to work every day a joy.
When Jenny's not at the office, she can usually be found either absorbed in a good book or hitting the beach. She's also proud to say that she's "the best mom in the world, for twenty years running!"
