      This business has assistants that as not trained well, and the office Manager is really rude and acts like she knows it all.

      You will better care else where.

      I have been a patient of Huffman Family Dentistry since I was pregnant with my son who is now 18. My entire family loved the and the whole operation worked well but maintained a very personal flavor.

      However, since Dr Petersen's retirement and the passing of Dr Weaver, I have felt that the practice has been going in a direction that I do not care for: more concern for billing than patients.

      A couple of recent experiences: I had a cleaning with a hygienist who scolded me like I was five because I didn't floss adequately for her taste (I floss intermittently but every other hygienist I have had calls my cleaning "EASY") and worse I believe DELIBERATELY hurt me and was unnecessarily rough with my cleaning. There was a huge amount of blood and pain - worse than when I hadn't been to the dentist for 2 years during covid. This hygienist should be fired but still works there.

      More recently, I had my six month cleaning scheduled like always when I leave the office. I count on the practice to remind me when that appointment is and they have never failed to remind. So when it seemed like six months was long past I checked in. Apparently, they were short hygienists and rather than reschedule my appointment, they simply dropped it off the schedule without informing me. This is unacceptable and if I did that to them, I'd be charged a no-show fee.

      I'll be taking my family elsewhere. This practice has become unreliable and really unfriendly.

      Me and my family have entrusted our oral care to them for well over 10 years and wouldn't want to go anywhere else! The staff is very friendly and personable! Dr Weaver is compassionate, thorough, and trustworthy! With an appointment or an emergency HFD has served us well! I highly recommend them!

      I switched myself and oldest son to
      Huffman Family Dentistry about a year ago They came highly recommended by 2 different families when I asked for referrals. I am very happy with all our care so far. The front office ladies are all very friendly and accommodating to schedules, billing insurance, and working with payments. The hygienists have all been thorough and given me honest feedback to better care for my teeth. Dr Weaver is great! I have needed some crowns and other dental work. It has been as pleasant as can be. I also appreciate he has offered to replace my mouth guard for no charge if I want to try a thinner one, and make it more comfortable. I also feel confident in the care my 12 year old son will receive at Huffman Family Dentistry

      This is our first experience with Huffman Family Dentistry. The staff is very friendly and works with you. Dr. Newman was fantastic. My kids were nervous and he quickly put them at ease and the appointments were great! Accomplished everything we set out to do and ended with happy kids! I would highly recommend Dr. Newman and Huffman Family Dentistry. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

      Had a nasty experience with Huffman Family Dentistry. I was overcharged $85 for an "exam" I never authorized. By the way, this "exam" lasted a minute or two for $85? I have dental insurance and went for an appointment for cleaning only. When I called Huffman Family Dentistry, I was confronted by an employee who was very condescending. "We recommend an exam every six months". She then said I complained about some tooth pain which prompted the exam, which was a lie. This dental office does not have a blank check to charge me for whatever they want and then try to defend it. Finally, the lady said, "We will have to dismiss you." Really? Dismiss me? Huffman Family Dentistry, YOU'RE FIRED !!!!

      I have nothing but good things to say about this office and shake Dr. Weaver's hand with genuine appreciation each time I leave. I AM SO THANKFUL I FOUND THIS OFFICE! I was brought to this firm via a referral by a friend for a second opinion after another dentist performed a botched crown. As a small business owner, I pay attention to the details. All the staff is super polite and extremely professional. This firm is definitely an industry leader and should be followed as a leader of how professional medical offices should operate. Dr Weaver even personally called me to follow up with my recent procedure. Now ask yourself....has your dentist ever called to check on you?

      My husband and I have been going to Huffman Family Dentistry for about 14 years. We absolutely love them! Everyone is friendly and so enjoyable! It really feels like a family when you walk in the door! I have referred several friends to Huffman Family Dentistry and all my friends thank me. My kids love going to the dentist too! If one child has an appointment the other child gets upset that is isn't his turn. (They have a great treasure box!).
      Thank you Huffman Family Dentistry for being so wonderful!
