Dr. Michels is Retiring

Dear Friends,

It is with a heavy heart for me to announce my retirement at the end of September 2024. I have been practicing for 39 years in Cedar Rapids. | have seen many changes in these years. It has been wonderful to see families grow and observe life changes.

In retirement, I hope to be able to chase the grandchildren around in their activities, do some fishing, and try to tackle the ever-growing To- Do list.

I am thankful to be able to leave with a great team of dentists and staff to take care of your dental needs. Dr. Doug Horton has practiced in Cedar Rapids for over 40 years. His son, Dr. Ben Horton has taken over the practice and has added new insight and energy into the practice. Dr. Ben Jacobson has recently become partner in the practice. Dr. Arlyn Robinson, Dr. Sami Herrera, and Dr. Shannon Hingst are other members of the team, who bring a wealth of experience. All of the dentists mentioned are focused on superior dental care with great concentration on patient comfort.

Thank you all for your trust and commitment to both me and your oral health. It has been an honor and pleasure serving you.

Respectfully,
Dr. Tim Michels

At Horton Family Dental, Dr. Ben Horton performed a root canal for me. I had no pain at all. I never even felt the needle for the anesthetic. Ben has very talented eyes and hands and a great personality. If you need dental work, you will not go wrong with Horton Family Dental. Thanks, Dr. Ben Horton. You and your dad, Dr. Doug Horton, are fantastic dentists. Your staff are wonderful folks.

I have been a patient of Horton Family Dental for 26 years. In that time I have always received wonderful dental care. The staff is always extremely professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about my dental health. Dr. Horton is so kind, considerate, and professional. I would not trust my teeth to anyone else. I highly recommend Horton Family Dental for all your dental care needs. This practice is just what any individual or family needs for excellent dental care!

I have been a patient of Dr. Horton since 1980. I felt completely at ease from the very first visit with Dr. Horton. His pleasant personality and his sense of humor helped put my fears to rest. He took the time to explain the procedures of what needed to be done. His staff is wonderful and very knowledgeable and very professional. I have complete confidence in Dr. Horton and staff.

When I was in 4th grade my dental process began. Every step of the way Horton Family Dental was there for me. Dr. Horton actually called me while he was off work just to see how I was doing after my surgery. Everyone at the office is helpful and has a great heart. If anyone was looking for a dentist, I would definitely recommend Dr. Horton.
