Dr Stephen Cooke and Staff,
During the past calendar year, you and your staff have treated a number of our players, families, front office staff and traveling party Not only has the feedback been positive - it has been over the top. Many report it was their best dental experience ever.
Again - Thank you for your truly professional approach in meeting all of our scheduled dental and emergent dental needs.
Respectfully,
Lonnie Soloff, Head Athletic Trainer, Cleveland Indians
