Dental Practice For SaleLee Morrow is follower of Christ as well as a practicing general dentist in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. He graduated from CWRU Dental School in 1979 and has been in solo practice in Cuyahoga Falls
since that time. After 40 years he has a strong desire to retire soon. He is looking to help someone who is ready to move into ownership of their own dental practice. He would prefer someone with prior experience but would be open to discussing other options. If interested or know of someone who may be, please send any contact information either to lmorrow@morrowddsllc.com or call his office manager Michelle at 330-923-8111. With Regards, Lee Morrow DDS 414 Portage Trail Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44221 www.morrowddsllc.com Christian Practitioner's OathWith gratitude to God, faith in the redemptive work of Christ Jesus, and dependence on the Holy Spirit, I publicly profess my intent to practice medicine and dentistry for the glory of God.
With humility, I will respect those who teach me and who broaden my knowledge. In turn, I will freely impart my knowledge and wisdom to others. With God’s help, I will love those who come to me for healing and comfort. I will honor and care for each patient as a person made in the image of God, putting aside selfish interests. With God’s guidance, I will endeavor to be a good steward of my skills and of society’s resources. I will convey God’s love in my relationships and family, friends, and community. I will aspire to reflect God’s mercy in caring for the lonely, the poor, the suffering and the dying. I will look for opportunities to share with a dying world the good news that Jesus died to save them and by the Spirit’s power, share it with boldness, love and conviction. With God’s blessing, I will respect the sanctity of human life. I will care for all my patients, rejecting those interventions which either intentionally destroy or actively end the lives of the unborn, the infirm, and the terminally ill. With God’s grace, I will live according to this profession. UPCOMING EVENTS:CMDA National Convention 2021cmda.org/cmda-national-convention-2021/

Yostina asked that we pray for her upcoming transition to residency, which she will start early due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yostina shared with me, "I will be starting residency early (May 16th) to help with the current pandemic.
