David

I always thought I wanted to be an engineer. Little did I know then how mechanical dentistry can be. I started working in this office in 2015 as part of my high school Senior Seminar Project. I have been working towards a career in dentistry ever since. While I was at Loyola University Chicago getting my undergraduate degree, I spent four years working as a dental assistant in a practice in downtown Chicago. I obtained my EMT certification and served the Campus for three years on the loyola EMS Service. I was involved in tennis, rugby and the pre-dental club. I am currently a second year DDS student at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. Between temping in Columbus and working in Chicago, I have seen many different way of doing dentistry. I am so happy to be coming to a practice that serves patients with high quality and integrity. I look forward to returning home to Gahanna when I graduate in 2024 to be part of the practice to have known all my life. Outside of work and school, I enjoy photography, golf, running, and travel.

Say goodbye to dental anxiety!

Customer service is such a forgotten art. But at Dr. Van Huffel’s office they not only understand customer service, but have raised the level of service to an extremely high level.

Dr. Van Huffel's knowledge and skill is excellent and her integrity is above reproach. Her staff is friendly, efficient and professional. She is one of the reasons I chose Columbus for my retirement home.
