We moved to East TX when we retired, but we still go back to Dr. Kirkpatrick. We took the grandkids to Disneyworld after Christmas, and had cleaning appts. with DeLeesa scheduled for when we dropped the kids back to their home in Baytown. I got sick in FL, went to an urgent care. The urgent care did an EKG and asked me when I had my heart attack a year or more ago. I didn't know what he was talking about. He said to get to a cardiologist ASAP. I was able to get an appt. with one in Houston for when we got back and they were able to schedule tests for the next day. All this was going on when we went into our cleaning appts. with DeLeesa. My husband's teeth were fine. I had a cavity and a tooth that had cracked. Dr. Holder did not want me to have to make another trip back to get these fixed. He wanted to give me some peace of mind. Though he did not worry me and say it, I know he wanted everything in my mouth in healthy condition if the tests turned out that I needed surgery. He worked me in throughout his day getting all this work done. When we were the last to walk out, he apologized that I had to be there so long, when it was me who should have been thanking him. I had never met Dr. Holder before that day in January 2016. He graciously went the extra mile and treated me like I was his own family--the best service ever!
