Speaking of the Cleveland Browns, I had a chance to meet the new Browns owner, Jimmy Haslam III, and his wife Dee, on a couple of occasions. They seem to be wonderful people who will work hard to make both the team and our city better - and they both have great smiles! And preserving the [...]
We want to salute our patient, Ms. Liz Lindecke, for her outstanding work in putting together the 13th annual "Scott Hamilton Cares Initiative" for the Cleveland Clinic's Taussig Cancer Institute. My wife Wendy and I were in attendance, and the evening was simply spectacular, from the skating exhibition at the Quicken Loans arena (with Wynonna Judd providing [...]
We're so proud of our excellent staff here at ClevelandSmiles. Their response to Hurricane Sandy was nothing short of extraordinary. We sent this e-mail out to our patients on Wednesday: Dental Care & “Sandy” It’s time for me to thank our staff and our patients for their dedication to providing and receiving dental treatment, respectively.

The boil-and-bite mouthguards work OK, but here at ClevelandSmiles, we're able to make custom mouthguards that fit [...]
