I am so blessed.

​Hi! I’m Anna Burrill. It’s been such a privilege to work for my dad and the Abingdon Smiles team. I’m a musician and piano teacher by training, but I have enjoyed getting to know patients and helping in various roles here at the office.

I feel extremely blessed to have been given the opportunity to be a part of such a compassionate, professional, and knowledgable team. When I am not at work I enjoy barrel racing, hunting, and spending time with my family.
Susie
Hi my name is Susie Graham. My husband and I moved to Abingdon in 2018 after living in northern Indiana for about 16 years. Both of us, however, are native to western Pennsylvania. I was a high school math teacher for about 25 years before coming here so the world of dentistry is new to me. I am enjoying this new adventure and working with this amazing team! When I am not working, I love spending time with family, going for walks and reading a good book.
Amy
Hello, my name is Amy! I obtained my certificate in Dental Assisting from Wytheville Community College in 2007. Then, I went on to graduate from their Dental Hygiene program in 2009.

When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with family, kayaking and traveling to new places.

In my spare time we love traveling to see new places and spending time with our friends and family.
Eric Huffman
Hello, I'm Eric. I operate my small denture lab over in the mountains. I've been making dentures with Dr. Moore for about six years now. When I'm not in the lab making teeth, I like to be out gardening, or playing my guitar, studying the Bible, or working on one of my old tractors.
