Dr. LéMarcel Robinson, DDS
Where It All Began
Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, I’ve always been a proud Clevelander—and, naturally, a HUGE Cleveland Browns fan and a devoted fan of THE Ohio State Buckeyes.
I received both my undergraduate degree in Biology in 2007 and my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2012 from THE Ohio State University. After dental school, I continued my training through the Misch Resnik Institute, with programs in Orlando, Dallas, and Las Vegas, as well as the Trinon Collegium Practicum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and São Paulo, Brazil. I have also participated in continuing education through the American Academy of Dental Office Management (AADOM) and the Urban Regeneration Institute in Budapest, Hungary.
I regularly pursue continuing education because dentistry is always evolving, and I believe my patients deserve care based on the most current techniques, technology, and information available.
That said, I also believe there should be room for a little humor along the way.
I enjoy running an office that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but takes taking care of patients very seriously. My philosophy is centered on educating patients, building trust, and taking baby steps to help them reach their individual goals. Dentistry shouldn’t be intimidating, and it certainly shouldn’t feel like a punishment.
One of the most rewarding parts of what I do is showing patients that going to the dentist isn’t always painful, unpleasant, or something to dread. My staff and I do our best to make every dental experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I’m incredibly grateful to have such an amazing team helping me educate and care for our patients every day.
And if you happen to be a Steelers fan or a University of Michigan fan, you will still receive wonderful care in my office. However, anesthesia may or may not be available that day.
I’m kidding. Probably.
What Brings Me Joy
I’m the Dad to two insane little people who look somewhat like me: Vanessa and Kam.
I love riding my Harley around town and beyond. One of my favorite rides is the Tunnel of Trees in Michigan—a beautiful stretch of road that makes you forget about everything else for a while. Well, almost everything. I’m still a dentist, so eventually I start thinking about teeth again.
I also love cooking, especially with and for my kids. We do a little bit of everything—from fried chicken gumbo and clam chowder to steak roulade, grilled salmon, and whole roasted chicken. There’s something pretty special about being in the kitchen together, making a mess, arguing over who gets to stir what, and eventually producing something everyone can eat.
I also enjoy smoking BBQ on my smoker, and I have a few opinions about doing it correctly.
Dr. Robinson’s cooking tip: A proper steak is cooked to medium rare. And meat should not fall off the bone when you bite into ribs. If it does, it’s overcooked. I said what I said.
When I’m not cooking, I enjoy playing board and card games with my kids—Monopoly, Settlers of Catan, Splendor, Skip-Bo, Dominion, and plenty of others.
Kam particularly loves Monopoly. He beat me ONE TIME by owning all the railroads, and apparently that single victory has transformed him into the Emperor of Monopoly. I have created a monster.
I also love hanging out with my daughter, Vanessa, who makes the best fried catfish and has already informed me that she plans to let me live in her basement when I get “old and evil.”
She also gives the best hugs and kisses. And then, oddly enough, we usually end up on Amazon immediately afterward. I’m not sure how that happens.
Between my family, my patients, my staff, motorcycles, cooking, games, and the occasional Cleveland Browns-induced emotional crisis, life stays pretty interesting—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Tiffany, Dental Hygienist
At the start of my career, I graduated from Lehman High School in Sidney and later completed the dental hygiene program at Lima Technical College. I have happily been working in the dental field for 28 years, 26 of them as a dental hygienist. I’m truly fortunate to have had the pleasure of working with some amazing doctors who have helped further my knowledge and education. It has allowed me to provide the best care possible for my patients.
I’m happily married to a Police Captain and have two sons, two stepchildren, and two giant schnauzer dogs (we clearly love the number two). They take up a lot of our time and we wouldn’t have it any other way. In our spare time, my husband and I love traveling to Kentucky and touring distilleries on the bourbon trail. We also enjoy trips to the east coast for their beaches. There’s nothing like it!
Shelly, EFDA
In 2002, I started my career in dental assisting at Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) and worked as an orthodontic/dental assistant for five years. I later decided to enroll at Sinclair Community College to become an Expanded Functions Dental Auxiliary. Through dedication, persistence, and hard work, I graduated in 2007 with flying colors (and a flush of excitement!). I have experience in all aspects of dentistry including dental implants, orthodontics, dental surgery, nitrous-oxide monitoring, coronal polishing, and placement of tooth-colored fillings.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling to new and exciting places, and loving on my wonderful dog Rockit.
