Nathan began his career with Gentle Family Dentists in 1998. He worked his way through each department, learning how the office functioned as a whole. Now a clinical administrator for both offices, he takes pride in living our mission statement, to “create a partnership to educate and empower our patients to have complete health with beautiful smiles in a supportive and comfortable dental home.”

Nathan is proud that our clinic has been updated with the latest technologies. These include digital X-rays and CEREC machines, which digitally recreate broken down teeth and mill them in one visit, saving you time and money. Nathan believes nothing compares to the compassion and care our patients receive from our staff. He appreciates that the Gentle Family Dentists team reserves time every week for updating staff skills. Constant, never-ending improvement is his goal, along with the rest of the staff.

I love working at Gentle Family Dentists because I get the opportunity to work with 3 different dentists, not many people can say that. I have enjoyed learning how each dentist likes to do different procedures and learning their own routines. It was challenging at first but everyone likes a good challenge. I like coming to work every day and being around my coworkers, we have fun while getting our work done. 

I’m from a small town Columbus Junction. I graduated from Kirkwood Community College in 2016 with my associate’s degree in Dental Assisting. I have been a dental assistant for a few years now and I wouldn’t change a thing about it. I really enjoy making a difference in people’s smiles. I live with my boyfriend and our dog Abigail. In my free time, I like going shopping, watching football and cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes. When I’m not doing that you’ll probably find me listening to music. 

My favorite song is Don’t Wanna Know by Maroon 5. 

Veronica started her dental career in California, and she has been a dental assistant since 1989. She has been a great addition to our team. She enjoys helping all our patients, and she especially loves working with kids. Speaking of children, when she isn’t at work, she stays busy keeping up with her three sons and a bunch of “fur kids.”

The best thing about working with Gentle Family Dentists is being able to grow as not only a dental assistant but as a person also. Jessica enjoys working hands-on with all of her patients, teaching them about oral health, and making a difference in each of their lives. Every day Jessica learns something new and has endless opportunities to expand her education with the support of GFD.

When she is not working, Jessica is spending time with her family. Together they enjoy walking their dogs to the park, painting, and baking! Jessica grew up in Jackson County and traveled here for a great job opportunity. She is very proud to be a part of the team!
