Paul R. Smaglick DDS

I was a patient for short time. I had moved only just returned to Milwaukee and reconnected as a patient in 2016-2018. I, recovering from Chemo/Radiation, was not able to respond to the news of Dr. Smaglick's passing. But, I did respond personally and the past few years, Dr. Smaglick is still in my mind and heart. You truly were a beautiful beacon of caring, light, love in this world...We are not the same without You.

Dear Dorothy and family, I just wanted to let you know that I continue to think of Dr Paul. Sometimes it is when I go to a different dentist (no one will again be MY dentist!). I have to push myself to make an apt- I just can't bear the difference and our loss. I go, but am instantly reminded of how completely I trusted Dr Paul, and how suspect I've become. Sometimes I think of him when I truly believe our world has lost decency, respect for all, honesty, humility, and especially perfection...

Our deepest condolences to you and your family.
Dr. Smaglick was a wonderful dentist to my husband and myself for many years. He was a warm, caring and excellent dentist. He cared very much about his patients and our lives. We did not hear about his passing until now. We share your sorrow and pain.

I became a patient of Dr. Smaglick 16 years ago after seeing him listed as one of the best dentists in Milwaukee in the Milwaukee Magazine. And to my relief, it turned out he really was one of the best! He was a dentist that truly cared about the dental health of his patients. I felt that concern immediately. He was a man of such professional pride and integrity. I knew that I would never be talked into an expensive procedure that I did not need. Through the years I grew to know a bit...

Dorothy,
My condolences to you and your family.
I took your recommendation to go to Paul for dental care when we were both working to then First Wisconsin National Bank in the mid-1980's.
Paul was always professional and highly skilled in his work to solve my dental problems. We also had brief and interesting discussions about politics and your career progress at FWNB and its subsequent mergers. I especially enjoyed listening to Mozart while in the chair or waiting to start the...

Dr. Smaglick will always be remembered as a "mensch" (a person of integrity and honor). He was an outstanding dentist and a great human being. His values were of the highest standard, but he was also humble at the same time. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for his family to lose him at such a young age, but I hope there is some comfort in knowing that there are many, many people who will always think of him and his family with a warm smile and heart.

Dr. Smaglick had been my dentist since I was a child (I am now in my 30s), and he was always fantastic. I have two very fond memories I would like to share.

I was a music major when I first started college. I had to go in to have a couple cavities filled. I was well aware of Dr. Smaglick's love of classical music, but now that I was studying it, it meant more. While he was working on my mouth, I noticed a little stereo in the room with a stack of CDs. I politely asked him if he...

I'm so sorry I didn't know about Paul's passing until I received the letter about his successor.Paul was a tremendous person as well as a great dentist.My condolences especially to you, Dorothy. You were a wonderful co-worker.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Dr. Smaglick's passing. He had been my dentist for many years and was the best dentist I ever had. I love how he truly loved his work and talked about how much he loved it. It was obvious in his dedication, care, and demeanor.

Listening to the beautiful and soothing classical music he always had on during working made a visit extra special.

He was an excellent dentist, adored his wife and family and I know how deeply he will be missed by...
