Fred G. Winter, DDS name the Okeene Chamber’s Business of the Month
Fred Winters attended grade school in Hitchcock, high school in Okeene, was an undergraduate at SWOSU and achieved his DDS at the University of Missouri @ Kansas City.
It was the day after Thanksgiving in 1968 when Fred Winter’s opened his office right where it’s located today! 41 years later Fred is still offering general dentistry to the Okeene area. Brenda Fox has been with Fred 29 years, Blanca Lorenz 12 years, Mindy Anthony 1 year ant Taylor Wilcox 6 months. Their hours are Monday through Friday 8-5 except when Fred has to take off on some fun-filled trip; I mean DENTAL CONVENTIONs, wink-wink!
I was surprised to learn that in 1977 & 78 Fred taught 1 day a week at OU Dental School.
Over the years Fred has served our community as President of the Chamber of Commerce, has sat on the City Council, been on the School Board and President of Kiwanis Club where he is known as the “Music Man”.
In keeping Okeene up with the times, Fred’s office recently upgraded to Digital X-Ray and Cad/Cam generated compressed porcelain restoration for Crowns.
Fred’s hope for the future is to follow the example of the MD’s of Okeene: Dr. Williams, Dotter, Lagan and Atendido to continue practice well into his 70’s.
Please join the Chamber at 207 East F St., Friday, March 12th from 11am-1pm , to celebrate Fred Winters, DDS being chosen as our Business of the Month.
