To the Best Patients in the World,
It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement from Hutto Hippo Family Dental after 10 wonderful years. While I look forward to this next chapter —spending time with my wife, children, and dad, and enjoying life at the ranch—I will deeply miss the relationships we’ve built here.
I understand how meaningful the trust you have placed in me is. After a careful search, I am grateful to announce that Dr. Han Nguyen has joined the practice to continue your care. I chose Dr. Nguyen because she brings not only exceptional technical skills but also a compassionate, patient-first philosophy that aligns perfectly with our values. It brings me great comfort knowing that you will continue your care with a very competent and compassionate dentist whose values are truly in the right place.
Dr. Nguyen earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry and has spent the last five years dedicated to clinical excellence and community service. Outside of dentistry, she shares a love for cooking and traveling with her husband.

What this means for you:
- The Team You Love: Our entire staff is staying with the practice. You will see the same familiar faces at the front desk and in the hygiene chairs.
- Seamless Care: Your records, scheduled appointments, and insurance coverage remain unchanged.
I feel truly blessed to have had you as both patients and friends. I have full confidence that you are in excellent hands with Dr. Nguyen, and I encourage you to welcome her with the same kindness you have shown me over the last decade.

Sincerely,
Dr. David Baker
