Why Did You Decide to
Become a Dentist?
Ever since he can remember, Dr. Cleveland has been a big science nerd.

Dr. Cleveland ended up shadowing the man for some time to get a feel for the environment and liked what he saw. After that, his future career path seemed clear!

Study Dentistry?
After completing his undergraduate degree from Duke University, Dr. Cleveland achieved his Doctor of Dental Surgery at The Ohio State University. Following graduation, he completed a one-year General Practice Residency at Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford, CT, where he received advanced training in many aspects of general dental care.
