Dōcerē Medical Spa & Laser Center
Clinic Profile
Dōcerē Medical Spa & Laser Center (doceremedspa.com) is a single location, full service medical spa in Strongsville, Ohio at 10633 Pearl Road. The word docere, meaning “to teach” in Latin, is based on the philosophy of the practice, which is to educate patients, provide personalised care and achieve natural-looking results. Since 2009, the practice has provided service to patients and clients in Strongsville, Cleveland, North Royalton, Brunswick, Middleburg Heights, Berea, Parma and throughout Northeast Ohio.
Dōcerē features a CoolSculpting Certified practice and DualSculpting capability to treat multiple areas simultaneously and minimize procedure time. It has four care pillars, which are: Safety, Comfort, Service, and Results. The spa coordinates referrals with Docere Plastic Surgery (under Dr. Ray Seballos), where surgical options may be a better fit.
Designed to appear more like a luxury spa than a clinical environment, the interior of the spa is of an Italian villa design with a patio, waterfall and views of the stream in the backdrop of the Mill Stream Reservation.

Background and History
Lori Leonard opened Dōcerē Medical Spa & Laser Center in 2009. It has evolved into a full-service medical spa, providing a wide variety of medical treatments and cosmetic services that keep its focus on offering individualized care and natural-looking results in over 16 years of practice.
It’s a spa that works in collaboration with Docere Plastic Surgery, headed by Dr. Ray Seballos, providing patients with a continuum of care from non-surgical to surgical aesthetic solutions. Over the years, the practice has grown its services to offer a Weight Management + Wellness Membership program for $99/month, given the popularity of medically-backed weight loss services with aesthetic body treatments. Program is managed by a Nurse Practitioner (NP).
The initial step in each treatment plan is a free consultation with all new patients.
