Dr Huffaker is an extraordinary doctor. He listens carefully, looks you in the eye while speaking with you. He carefully explains all procedures that have been performed. If you don’t understand something he will go over it again. He is a compassionate, caring person. He should be teaching in medical school to train new doctors in patient follow up care. His office staff is always kind welcoming and efficient.

Dr Huffaker is a detailed and professional doctor. He was aware of all details in my case and very knowledgeable. He took lots of time to answer questions, explain the issues of my condition and to inform us of what to do in different scenarios if they happen in the future. It was amazing and refreshing to have a doctor with great expertise along with kindness concern for the patient.

I have had some issues with my heart! I am nearing my [age]th birthday and am not surprised to need cardiology. I’m so glad Scott Huffaker is here in Alpena to treat myself and my husband with our needs as he explains what is going on with my heart and draws it out for me too! He gives me options. Puts me at ease and tells me what is important and what isn’t. His Nurse Practitioner Kennedy sat with me to help me see why I should have cardiogram and explained why I should get this exam! I’m grateful for them being so close that I don’t have to go across the state or downstate to get this care.
