JESSIE

Insurance and Treatment Coordinator

Hi! My name is Jessie and I have been working in the dental field for over twenty years, 19 years here at LDC! I started working as a dental assistant shortly after receiving my x-ray license. I enjoyed working as a dental assistant, but after learning about insurance billing, I realized I was a better fit in helping patients understand insurance and financing dental treatment. I enjoy getting to know all our patients and making them feel like they are a part of the Lewelling Dental Care family. Recently, my interest has shifted to Dental Hygiene. I recently earned my AS in Biology and hoping to start Dental Hygiene school next year.

In my spare time I enjoy reading, traveling, spending time with my family and friends, and attending as many Bad Bunny, BSB concerts and Giants games as possible.
