Roy S Shelburne, DDS is a 1981 Honor Graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University's School of Dentistry. After graduation, Roy opened his practice in his grandfather's old hardware store. He has served as president of the Southwest Virginia Dental Society and has volunteered at Virginia's various MOM projects across the state. Roy has also served as a short-term missionary to Honduras with Baptist Medical Missions International.

Some dentists may fear litigation, but few worry about going to prison. On October 24, 2003, the FBI broke down the back door of Roy’s office and confiscated all of his business and dental records. Over the course of the next 3 years, every aspect of his life was subjected to the closest scrutiny. He was indicted in October of 2006. In March of 2008, Roy was found guilty of healthcare fraud, racketeering, and money laundering, and spent 19 months incarcerated at the Federal Prison Camp in Manchester, KY before his release in 2010.
