Melanie Jaco, New Patient Coordinator
As a child, I loved going to the dentist! I took an interest in my dental office when I went in as a teenager. I saw how rewarding dentistry could be by keeping and maintaining healthy mouths and smiles! My personal dentist offered me a position during my high school co-op program and the rest is history!
My favorite part of being in the dental field is building relationships with our patients, making them feel special, like family, and helping them maintain their healthy smiles. Your smile is the first thing people see, so smile big!
