Meet the Team

 

Jennifer

Office Manager

I am glad to be involved with our patients from the first phone call until their treatment is complete. It’s fulfilling to be part of a practice that ensures every patient feels comfortable and receives the excellent care he or she deserves.

I have been in the dental field since 1998 and was certified in expanded duty dental assisting in 2000. In 2004, I found my professional home here at Endodontic Specialists, handling a wide range of duties. In addition, to assisting patients with making appointments, I handle payroll, AP, collections and assist chairside when needed.  

In short, I do everything I can to ensure our patients and staff are well cared for. Dr. Morris and Dr. Gaudet are the best, by far, in this field, and so is our team. We all strive to give our patients the care and kindness we want for ourselves and our family members.

My husband and I have two boys, who are our world. We both come from large families — I am one of six kids and he’s one of five — so gatherings are always happening. I love traveling, outdoor activities, and anything involving friends and family.

 

Jessica

Receptionist

Jessica joined our practice in early 2024 and has quickly become a welcoming, reassuring presence for both our patients and team. As one of the first faces you’ll see when you walk through our doors, she enjoys greeting patients, answering phones, scheduling appointments, verifying insurance benefits, collecting payments, and helping make each visit as smooth and stress-free as possible.

In addition to her front office responsibilities, Jessica plays an important role in our practice’s marketing and referring doctor relations. She helps coordinate marketing efforts and thoughtfully manages special touches such as birthday cakes, holiday gifts, and other expressions of appreciation for our referring doctors, helping strengthen the relationships that are so important to our practice.

Although Jessica’s background is in education, where she earned an Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Development, her experience has equipped her with exceptional communication, organization, and customer service skills that translate seamlessly into patient care. Her favorite part of her role is helping patients feel calm and comfortable before their root canal, ensuring they know they’re in caring hands.

Jessica loves working alongside a team that shares a commitment to providing outstanding patient care. She values the teamwork, laughter, and supportive environment that make every day both rewarding and meaningful.

Outside of the office, Jessica is newly married and enjoying this exciting chapter of life with her husband and bonus son. Whether they’re taking a road trip, trying a new restaurant, or simply spending quality time together, family is at the heart of everything she does.
