Optimist International is a national organization committed to bringing out the best in kids, by providing hope and positive vision. Dr. Thomas Lomonte, D.D.S. of Stafford is proud to be an original charter member of our local Fort Bend Optimist Club. Dr. Lomonte says, “Since 1983, we have been reaching out to young people in our community, helping them shape their future.” Members of the club conduct positive service projects to provide a helping hand to local youth. With an upbeat attitude and a helping hand, they empower young people to be the very best they can be.

At this year’s Youth Appreciation and Scholarship Banquet, the Fort Bend Optimist Club honored 20 students and awarded 11 scholarships to local area high school students. Dr. Lomonte says, “Education is at the core of what the Optimist Club is all about. At this year’s banquet, we honored High School Seniors who are dedicated to helping others, in an effort to make themselves better people and to make the world a better place. And I really believe that. The kids I met at the banquet really give me confidence in today’s youth. I know they will make a difference…and I’m so proud of them. Congratulations and best wishes to each of them as they move forward with the next chapter in their life!”

Dr. Lomonte’s lifelong commitment to community and the Optimist Club is paralleled by his commitment to his patients. Since 1982 Dr. Lomonte has been giving Fort Bend families great smiles at his original location on Murphy Road. He and his staff take pride in greeting you as a patient…and waving goodbye to you as a friend. He has been in practice long enough that he now sees second and third generation patients. But there is always room for new patients and friends-to-be too! Dr. Lomonte says, “I love being a part of this community! Stop by anytime, we’re always happy to hear from you and see your beautiful smiles!”
