Kayla
Financial Administrator
I really enjoy interacting with patients and their parents, and love watching our patients grow up with healthy smiles. I feel lucky to work in an office that is fun and positive, where my coworkers are some of my best friends. I greet and assist patients and parents before and after dental treatment, answer the phones, and schedule appointments. I also work with Dr. Jennifer and our staff to ensure patients receive the exceptional dental care we strive to deliver. We all get along and help each other, which helps our patients know they’re in a caring office.
I married my high-school sweetheart and we enjoy spending time with our wonderful son. We love being outdoors, especially camping and going to the lake, along with coaching our son’s T-ball team and being with family.
Morgan
Patient Care Coordinator
Working at the front desk as our scheduling coordinator, I am one of the first team members to greet patients with a smile. I enjoy interacting with our pediatric patients and their families when they arrive at our office, and I especially love to see a big smile on the kids’ faces as we schedule their next appointment at the end of their visit. I also schedule and confirm appointments, and answer the phones.
I am originally from Abbeville. Several years ago I decided to call Greenwood my home. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, including my fur babies, painting, and cooking.
Nica
Expanded Function Dental Assistant
I love working with our pediatric patients and helping them learn how to keep their smiles healthy. In addition to assisting Dr. Jennifer, I enjoy educating patients and their parents about how diet and daily hygiene practices play a role in their overall health. Having children of my own, including twin boys, has helped prepare me for a career in pediatric dentistry.
I am originally from Rock Hill. I married my high-school sweetheart and moved to Greenwood in 2016. When I’m not at the office, I’m busy spending time with my husband and our three active boys: Axle, Tripp, and Wilder.
Katie Jo
Expanded Function Dental Assistant
Each patient is special and I enjoy being part of their lives as they grow up. I really enjoy working with our special needs patients, helping them feel comfortable and at ease during visits. I assist Dr. Jennifer chairside, place sealants, take X-rays, and offer preventive care. A majority of my time is spent offering age-appropriate dental education. I work with patients and parents, teaching proper dental care and the best way to achieve and maintain a healthy smile. I am happy to be part of a team that feels like a family, and how we all really care about our patients.
When I’m not in the office, I love spending time outdoors with my son Carter, and our dog, Sandi.
Meredith
Patient Care Coordinator
I love seeing our patients’ smiles as they come through the front door; it’s the highlight of my day! It’s good to know parents have heard great things about us and bring in their children seeking the same exceptional care. As our treatment coordinator, I wear many hats. From presenting treatment plans and clinical information to parents to scheduling appointments and answering the phones, my goal is to provide the highest level of patient care and customer service. I also coordinate the practice schedule and assist with all front desk activities. It’s a pleasure to work with such great people and be surrounded by smiles!
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two precious daughters and camping with my family.
Katie Nell
Expanded Function Dental Assistant
I enjoy meeting our new patients and getting to know them. I love asking our patients about their day and hearing all about their adventures. Each child is so special and has a different story to share. A large part of my day is spent teaching patients about proper dental hygiene so they learn how to maintain a healthy smile. In addition to providing preventive care, placing sealants, and taking X-rays, I assist Dr. Jennifer with patient care and manage our lab cases. This is a great office, where we create a fun and welcoming environment for our patients.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and family, playing outside with my son Lukas, and helping at the farm.
Hayley
Expanded Function Dental Assistant
The best part of my job is getting to work with kids and making their dental visits fun. Whether I’m assisting Dr. Jennifer, taking radiographs, cleaning teeth, or talking with families, my main goal is to ease children’s fears about the dentist. I love my job because I have the unique opportunity to help children enjoy their dental experience.
In my spare time, I enjoy trying new recipes, traveling with my family, playing disc golf with my husband and our dog, Willow, and spending time with my friends.
Kristen
Hygiene / Sterilization Assistant
I love our team at PDOG; we all work together to help each child have the best visit possible. My goal is to help each patient’s appointment run smoothly by assisting our clinical staff. I stay very busy preparing treatment rooms, sterilizing all dental instrumentation, assisting with X-rays, and stocking rooms. I have always loved working with children, and I especially enjoy helping them overcome their fears of dentistry.
I am engaged to be married and in my spare time, I stay busy planning our April 2023 wedding. I have four nephews I love with all my heart! When I’m not with my family or church family, I enjoy loving on all of our barn animals, hunting, and spending time outdoors.
