Office Staff
Eli Family Dentistry is a practice devoted to quality and meaningful patient care. Staff members for this office are carefully selected based on experience, professionalism, and personal interaction with patients and office staff. We work as a team in our practice, each member working towards the same goal: quality care, along with patient comfort and satisfaction.

She has been an integral part of the practice since we opened in 2012 and is the friendly voice or smile to greet you on the phone or when you come into the office. “B” takes great interest in learning about you or your family and has enjoyed watching our patient families grow. She enjoys attending live jazz music concerts and has been converted to a country music fan in the last few years. As an animal lover at heart, she enjoys spoiling her cats at home or volunteering for animal rescue efforts.

Jolee, her husband and their three boys enjoy time with family, friends, sports and outdoor fun.
