Jordan – Office Manger

Jordan’s career in dentistry started about 6 years ago when she went to school for Da One. She worked for about a year consecutively as an assistant before being cross-trained at the front desk, where she found her niche. Knowing both front and clinical duties and terminology has been a huge help with her knowledge of dentistry. Over the past few years, she has worked both front and back before being hired as an office manager. She can easily explain why a patient needs treatment done, as well as go over insurance benefits and payment options. She has always been fascinated with dentistry, and the fact that she can see a person’s confidence change with treatment is very rewarding. She is a single mother to a beautiful daughter, who will be 10 this year. When she’s not working, she is practicing softball with her daughter, and in the spring summer and fall, both Jordan and her daughter play on our local softball teams. She lives in Person County, where she has been since she was a year old. Although she has moved to several places, she always ends up back home. Jordan loves dentistry and the people that she gets to meet.

Megan – Schedule Coordinator

Megan is our schedule coordinator.  She moved to Durham from Upstate New York to be closer to family.  She has 12 years’ experience working in a dental office, and originally started because she was (and is) inspired to make a positive difference in patient care.   She enjoys spending her time with her children, hiking, and reading.

Born and raised in New Bern, NC, Alicia finished high school in Durham, NC.  After earning a BS in biology at UNC-Wilmington, she married her high school sweetheart and they traveled with the Air Force.  While her husband completed a tour overseas, she went back to school for dental hygiene at Wake Technical Community College.  Now with their two children, they have settled in Durham close to friends and family.
