Dear Patients,

I hope this letter finds you well. After much reflection, I have decided that the time has come to retire from my practice after nearly 43 wonderful years of providing dental care to you and your family. My official retirement date will be December 19, 2024. I wanted to personally let you know how deeply grateful I am for the trust and confidence you’ve placed in me over the years.

It has truly been a privilege to care for your oral health, to witness milestones in your life, and to see families grow. The relationships we’ve built over the years are some of the most rewarding aspects of my career, and I am truly thankful for the opportunity to have been a part of your
healthcare journey.

I am also excited to share that Dr. Lee Kreger, my partner of the last 10 years, will be taking over as the lead dentist here at the practice. Dr. Kreger and I have worked side-by-side and I have seen firsthand the dedication, skill, and compassion he brings to every patient he treats. I have complete confidence in his ability to continue providing the same level of exceptional care and attention that you have come to expect from our practice.

Dr. Kreger and our wonderful team will be working to ensure a smooth transition. Please know that you are in great hands with them. I encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have during this transition.

Thank you again for allowing me to be part of your dental care over the years. While I will miss seeing you, I am excited about this new chapter and I know the practice will continue to thrive under Dr. Kreger’s leadership.

Wishing you good health and bright smiles,

Rick Huffman, DDS
