Patient Profile: David
David had not seen a dentist in 10 years before becoming a patient of the Mission.
David had not seen a dentist in 10 years when a friend told him about the Medical Care Mission’s dental clinic.
“Before I came here, the pain was so bad that I was going to use food money to pay another dentist in town,” he said. “I would’ve starved; it’s a miracle I found this place.”
David says he picks up applications for the clinic’s services every time he comes in for an appointment so his friends will have the chance to receive the same type of care that Dr. Shelhamer and the staff offer.
“The people I know can’t afford to pay out-of-pocket at a private dentist’s office,” he said. “They go through all kinds of pain.”
Those wishing to qualify for services at the dental clinic may stop by 294 Medical Drive in Abilene from 2:30 to 4 on Thursday afternoons to fill out an application. Call (325) 677-3455 for more information.
