Dr. Kendall Miller’s office was a candy wonderland! He is happy to say that he paid out $141 in silver and gold dollar coins to children who sold him their Halloween candy.

Seven boxes of candy were then delivered to local shelters. “We had an excellent turn out this year,” Dr. Miller stated. “I would like to thank all of our patients who brought their candy in.”
