Growing up, Patty’s father’s Army career brought the family to many places, including Connecticut, Maryland, Oklahoma, and Okinawa. Having graduated from Nashua High, she studied Medical Technology at UNH. Like her mother, she chose a career as a dental hygienist, graduating from NHTI-Concord. Patty has worked for 35 years in a variety of practices, including periodontal and orthodontic and has worked at our Amherst, NH location for 27 years and is a pioneer for the oral-systemic connection and overall health.

A lifelong New Hampshire resident, Jillian graduated from NHTI as a Registered Dental Hygienist in 2016. She quickly adapted to practicing at Dovetail and easily builds relationships with her many patients. When she’s not in the office advocating for her patients’ health, you can find her scouring Home Goods for the best deals for her new home or enjoying the great outdoors with her husband, Chris, and their fur baby, Autumn. 

Originally, from a small town in Massachusetts, Jordan moved to New Hampshire last fall. She graduated from the Dental Hygiene program at MWCC in Gardner, MA. She then continued her education and obtained a bachelors degree in Dental Hygiene from Mt. Ida college. She enjoys connecting with each patient, especially if they are Boston sports fans! She also loves working with kids. Seeing a big, healthy smile at the end of the appointment is the best! In her spare time you can find Jordan spending time with her friends and exploring NH with her boyfriend and fur baby, Lucy. She also visits home frequently to spend time with family, especially her two little nieces. 

Another New Hampshire native, Rachel spent her undergraduate summers working as a dental assistant while earning a bachelors of Biomedical Science from UNH. She then spent two years as a dental assistant in Boston while earning another Bachelors in Dental Hygiene from Forsyth at MCPHS University. As a passionate lifelong learner, Rachel is currently pursuing her Master of Public Health. She enjoys using her vast background to help educate and empower patients towards a happy, healthy smile. She has found that she is able to quickly connect with patients here at Dovetail as a lifelong resident of the area. On weekends she enjoys live music, lake days with her boyfriend, and trying new restaurants with her family and friends   

Donna was born and raised in Chelmsford, MA and currently resides in Amherst, NH where she has raised two wonderful daughters, Grace and Abby, with her husband Michael.  She found a love for dentistry early and started working in the field when she was just 16 years old. She graduated from MCC Lowell for both Dental Assisting as a CDA and Dental Hygiene (RDH).  With over 25 years of diverse hygiene experience, Donna has found joy in making visits fun for both children and adults. We are thrilled to have her as part of our team, and she is happy to have found her new dental home here at Dovetail (often joking about her new “long” commute)!  In her free time, Donna enjoys volunteering at Peacock Players Children’s Theatre, sewing for her Etsy business, Sassygirl Headbands, running with her group, The Sassy Striders, or hanging out with her family and their dog, Max.
