She is also a Registered Dental Assistant with nitrous oxide certification. Her clinical knowledge combined with her awesome organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to understand and connect with others makes her the best office manager.

But don’t worry, her hands just get cold sometimes, but her heart is very warm. Jill is always serving and helping others. Her optimistic attitude adds to the positive culture at McKinney Pediatric Dentistry. She is also a fully trained Registered Dental Assistant with certifications in nitrous oxide, sealant placement, and coronal polishing. Jill and her husband Chet have two lovely daughters.
