Dr. Hempfling was a very caring wonderful man. It was Christmas Day, and my daughter was in town from South Carolina and had had her wisdom teeth removed and was having a whole lot of pain. She wasn't even a patient of his and he met us at the office to check on her and give her some meds to help the pain and didn't charge us a dime. He will always be remembered in our family for the kind and compassionate man he was!

I had the privilege of putting the phone system in when he opened his practice. My family was looking for a dentist. I made an appointment and the rest is history. He was a good man. My prayers are with his family.
