I am grateful to all of you who welcomed me into the Kirtland community over the last 40 years. It has been a privilege serving your dental health needs and moreover coming to know you and your families. I have been looking for another clinician to take over your care after I retire and have found a younger dentist who is willing to welcome you into her established practice. 


Dr. Alexandra Fushi graduated from Midwestern University School of Dentistry and worked at Cleveland Clinic throughout the pandemic before opening her own office in Willoughby Hills. In addition to general practice, Dr. Allie provides comprehensive dental surgery for pediatric and special needs patient's at a local surgery center. You are welcome to visit her website at www.minttobefamilydentistry.com call 440.944.7745 or stop in at the office and meet Dr. Allie, her hygienist Holly and the office staff. 


Dr. Allie and I share treatment philosophies and goals and her's is a smaller practice setting where you can expect to receive the kind of personal care that I have sought to provide you through the years. Her office is located just eight minutes from my office at 2794 SOM Ctr Rd. Suite 7 in Willoughby Hills. Beginning August 15, 2023, calls to our office phone number will be forwarded to her office line. If you had an appointment for a recare visit scheduled in our office before or after that date, we will be contacting you to arrange a new appointment time and date. I take comfort knowing that I found a kind and caring clinician who will professionally and responsibly provide for your dental needs going forward. 


Though I am looking forward to spending more time with my family and friends, I know I will miss seeing all of you. I sincerely thank you and wish you the very best. My wife Mary Jeanne and I will continue to make Kirtland our home and hope we will see you out and about! 


God Bless,
