In October this year, I walked into Dr. Huffman's office and introduced myself as a "train wreck." At 53 years old, I was sure I was headed for full-mouth dentures. Black cavities, broken teeth and places where teeth used to be were the problems I presented to Dr. Huffman.
(Heavy family and work demands over the past 25 years left me with no time for the dentist. I'd always had insurance, but no time).
Today, 2 days before January 1, 2007, thanks to Dr. Leahn Huffman, I am facing the future with a renewed outlook and a huge smile. Caries control, root canals, crowns and dental reconstruction -- Dr. Huffman's hard work and talent -- gave me back a smile I hadn't seen in decades.
Dr. Huffman and her staff, dental assistants Mishela and Stacy are all exceptional people. As a woman, my teeth, you can imagine, were a supreme embarassment. Mishela put me completely at ease with her high energy and encouragement. Stacy is another treasure whose cheerfulness and understanding helped make the "rehab" experience easy to face.
Dr. Huffman is vibrant and upbeat -- a thorough professional who truly cares about her patients. Best of all, she is my dentist who has become a very dear friend.
