Dr. Robinson (both of them!) in Towne Center
for 30 years and still taking care of smiles

EDITOR, THE FRIDAY FLYER
There are painted light panels in the patient rooms at Canyon Lake Den- tistry that Geoff Robinson looked up at as a baby. Thirty years later he is fill- ing and pulling teeth under those very same panels, sometimes for patients who remember him as a toddler. Geof- frey Robinson’s father is Dr. William Brent Robinson, D.D.S., founder of Canyon Lake Dentistry, where Geoff also now has his practice. The office is located in the center back building of the Towne Center.
The Robinsons’ Canyon Lake story began when Brent was a sophomore in dental school at Loma Linda Univer- sity and visited the community in the early 1980s to go water skiing. He and a friend enjoyed it so much, they bought the cheapest lot they could find in 1981 and registered a boat together so they could ski any time they wanted.
At the time, Goeff was still the twin- kle in his father’s eye, as Brent and his high school sweetheart, Cindy, were married at the age of 20 in 1980. Cindy finished dental hygiene school at Loma Linda in 1983; Brent finished dental school at Loma Linda in 1985.
Together they started Canyon Lake Dentistry in the Towne Center; though at the time, says Brent, they weren’t sure the area could support a full time dental office. Geoffrey was born in November 1984, so in a way, helped in the found- ing of the business – if only as the rea- son for those cartoon light panels.
When the office opened in November 1985, Brent and Cindy had one part- time assistant and their office occupied one-third of the space it does now. It has expanded twice since then and now runs from the front to the back of the build- ing. Brent and Goeff’s office overlooks
the Golf Course, where Brent says he used to play a couple of holes on slow days before the fence went up and cut off his access.
The Robinsons bought a home in Canyon Lake and raised Goeff and two daughters here; Kelli was born in Au- gust 1986 and Brooke was born in Oc-

Brent Robinson and his wife Cindy opened Canyon Lake Dentistry in the Towne Center in November 1985. Their son Geoffrey was a little tyke and looked up from his office crib to see the ceiling light panels painted with cartoons like this. The panels are still in some of the patient rooms.
At top, Doctors Geoffrey and Brent Robinson, D.D.S., stand outside the Towne Cen- ter office of Canyon Lake Dentistry, which Brent opened in November 1985. Brent and Cindy Robinson enjoyed raising their children in Canyon Lake until 1996. Here, they're pictured with Geoff and Kelli in 1989.
