Dr. Limbaugh’s Family Life

Dr. Lindsay Limbaugh married her fellow classmate, Dr. Matt Limbaugh, a native of Huntsville, while in her orthodontic residency. Matt attended a two year General Practice Residency at UAB Hospital and then moved to Huntsville to begin his dental career, while Lindsay finished the last year of her orthodontic program. The Drs. Limbaugh enjoy being back in Huntsville in their home in Hampton Cove and are proud parents of their only son, Brady. During her free time, Dr. Limbaugh enjoys participating in community services and spending time with friends and family—most especially her baby boy. Her hobbies include reading, traveling, and watching Auburn football.

Dr. Limbaugh’s parents reside in Fort Payne, Alabama, and her brother (who is also an orthodontist) and sister-in-law have recently moved to the area. This makes it easy for the whole family to get together quite often and spend special times together.
