Meet Ray Siefert — Orlando’s Veteran Dental Equipment Tech

For 25+ years I’ve kept Florida dental practices running — diagnosing, repairing, and rebuilding the equipment your day depends on. When you call Ray Repairs, you don’t get a call center or a rotating cast of strangers. You get me, Ray, on the phone and at your door with the parts already in hand.

The story

A quarter-century of fixing what others give up on

I started in this trade on the other side of the counter — selling new dental equipment and handling the installations that put it into operatories across Florida. That work taught me how every chair, compressor, sterilizer, and handpiece is supposed to perform on day one. But the deeper lesson came later, on service calls, when I learned what it really takes to keep that same equipment running for ten, fifteen, twenty years past its install date.

Somewhere along the way I realized I was happiest doing the hard part — bringing legacy and discontinued equipment back to life when the manufacturer had stopped supporting it and the distributors had moved on to selling its replacement. A practice doesn’t need a brand-new operatory because one valve failed or one board went bad. It needs the unit it already owns to work again, today. That conviction became the business.

So that’s the philosophy behind Ray Repairs: fix it, don’t upsell it. I’d rather earn a client for the next twenty years by repairing the chair they trust than make a quick sale pushing a replacement they don’t need. After 25+ years, that approach is why Florida practices keep my number on the wall — and why I rank #1 locally for “dental equipment repair technician near me.”

What makes Ray different

An independent veteran, not a dispatch number

There are plenty of companies that will send a technician. There’s only one Ray. Here’s what that actually means for your practice:

You reach the technician

Call or text and you get me — not a queue, not a ticket, not a script. The person who answers is the person who fixes your equipment.

On-site Rolling Repair Shop

I arrive with a van stocked with parts and tools, so most repairs happen right there in your office — no shipping your unit out, no waiting weeks for downtime to end.

Legacy-equipment specialist

Out-of-warranty and discontinued gear is my specialty. If others tell you it can’t be fixed, that’s usually exactly the call I want.

Full office moves & storage

I’m Florida’s only technician who specializes in complete dental office relocations and equipment storage — de-install, move, store, and re-install, all from one trusted source.

Flat, fair pricing

What I quote is what you pay. No mystery “service management” fees, no padded estimates — just an honest number for honest work.

Family-owned reputation

This is a family business built one repair at a time. My name is on the van, so my standards are on every job.

The Rolling Repair Shop

I bring the shop to you — parts in hand

Most repair companies want your equipment to come to them. I built my business the other way around.

My van is a fully-stocked, mobile repair shop. When I roll up to your practice, I’m carrying the common parts, the specialty tools, and the diagnostic gear needed to handle the vast majority of repairs on the spot. That means I can open up your sterilizer, chair, or compressor, find the fault, and fix it right there on your counter — while your team keeps seeing patients in the next operatory.

Compare that to the alternative: a unit boxed up and shipped to a manufacturer or regional depot, a quote that takes days, a repair that takes weeks, and an operatory sitting dark the whole time. On-site service isn’t just more convenient — for a busy practice, it’s the difference between a hiccup and a shutdown. Less downtime, less lost production, less stress on your front desk.

Stocked & mobile

Common parts and tools travel with me, so the first visit is usually the only visit.

On your counter

Diagnose and repair in your operatory — no crating, no shipping, no manufacturer queue.

Back to patients fast

Minimal downtime keeps your schedule — and your production — intact.

Who I serve

Dental practices are my backbone — and not my only clients

Dental offices have been the heart of my work for 25+ years. But broken equipment doesn’t care what’s on the sign out front, so my bench and my van serve a range of practices across Florida:

  • General & family dental offices
  • Oral surgery & endodontics
  • Orthodontic & pediatric dental
  • Veterinary clinics
  • Medical spas & aesthetic clinics
  • Outpatient & surgical suites
  • Based in Orlando & Central Florida
  • Serving North & South Florida
  • On-site, anywhere in the state
Independent veteran vs. national distributor

Why the same person, every time, matters

When a national distributor sends a tech, you rarely get the same one twice. With me, you do — and that continuity is worth more than most practices realize.
