Campbell council considering clinic to be run by convicted dentist

CAMPBELL

City council advanced an ordinance that would allow it to give 3.6 acres of city-owned land to a company that wants to build a dental clinic.

Council passed to a second of three required readings the ordinance, which would allow the transfer of land at Woodland Avenue and McCartney Road to United Dental Group LLC.

Robert Maruschak, a retired dentist from Poland, and Alvin G. Sullivan, who owns a financial consulting business in Girard, gave council a letter last month that indicates a plan to develop a nine- to 12-chair dental clinic that would offer all phases of dentistry in a 4,000-square-foot, $1.2 million building.

Maruschak, who pleaded guilty to felony drug charges in 2006, said he is not an owner of the company but is the “project manager” and will be the clinic director.

The Ohio State Dental Board notified him he was under review after his drug conviction, and he voluntarily surrendered his license in 2007. He is not allowed to practice in Ohio.
