Orthodontist - Fruita and Grand Junction, CO and Vernal, UT

Jeena Jolley - marketing, bookkeeping, and gofer girl

Hi, I’m Jeena, Dr. Jolley’s wife. I graduated from Union High School in Roosevelt, Utah the same year Tyler graduated from our rival high school in Vernal, Utah. Go Cougars! We met our freshman year at Utah State University and married my senior year. I graduated in Theatre and English Education. I taught middle school in south Florida while Tyler was attending dental school. I enjoyed living in Philly during residency, but we love Grand Junction and feel at home here. I am the behind the scenes girl at Dr. Jolley’s office so you won’t see me too often because I do most of my work from home while chasing and entertaining our three sons Kaden (6), Tanner (4) and Carson (1). I enjoy running, skiing, hiking, attending the theatre, and traveling with my family.

I’m sure you will have a great time with Dr. Jolley, of course I am biased because we’ve been married over ten years and there is rarely a dull moment with him around. I know you are in good hands because I personally witnessed 10 of the 25 years he went to school. I hope you enjoy your experience with Jolley Smiles and please let me know if you see Dr. Jolley spending too much time on the X-Box during work. He swears it improves his eye hand coordination.

Taryn Brown- practice coordinator

Hello, I'm Taryn and I am the treatment coordinator for Jolley Smiles. I am a local grown peach from Palisade. I graduated from Palisade High School in 2001. I then attended Mesa State College. I have been in the orthodontic field for over 7 years and am proud to say that I am a certified orthodontic assistant through the Academy of Orthodontic Assisting. I enjoy every aspect that comes with working in an orthodontic practice and am lucky to be part of the Jolley Smiles team. I enjoy living in the Grand Valley and everything that there is to do in the area. I love the outdoors. In the summer camping is where you will find me, and in the winter look for me up at Powderhorn skiing. I also enjoy watching and playing sports. Basketball is my favorite sport; I played in high school and still enjoy it to this day. I also love to keep up on the local high school teams. Even though I am a Palisade girl, I like to support all of the teams in the Valley. Well, I look forward to meeting you all and if you see me out and about don't forget to say "hi!"

We were recently married September 8, 2007 and love this new adventure we have started!! We also love everything Colorado has to offer; hiking, rafting, skiing, etc anything you can do outside we LOVE doing it! If you have any suggestions on new and exciting places to explore please let me know! We have a chocolate lab named Tank who I enjoy taking on long walks, so if you ever see a girl getting pulled by a big brown dog…. give her a wave because it’s probably me!

Savannah Logan - orthodontic/periodontic assistant

Hi! My name is Savannah. I am 20 years old and grew up in Aurora, Colorado. I moved to Grand Junction about six years ago and I absolutely love it. I have two brothers who are my life. I went to school to be a dental assistant not knowing I would land the best job of my life. The Jolley Smile’s staff is amazing; I have never felt more comfortable and happy to work for someone fantastic like Dr. Jolley. Your visit here will change everything you ever thought. I enjoy knitting, bowling watching movies, and of course I am a great cook!! Hope to see you soon, and remember, smile big!

Tiffany Moore- orthodontic/periodontic assistant

Hey!! Tiffany is the name and dental assisting is the game. Dental assisting is one of the many things that I am truely passionate about. I have been assisting for 8 years. I started in Colorado Springs, CO where I grew up, but I am originally from Houston, TX. I am married to my high school sweetheart of 13 years and we have 3 beautiful, yet wild and crazy children. My family likes dirt bikes , motorcycles, swimming and dancing. My kids are amazing dancers.

I consider myself to be very laid back, easy going, and just a little outspoken. I love to joke and laugh. Being serious all the time is not me, I like fun. I am also known for "keeping it real", I stay true to myself always. I enjoy movies, in fact I have a huge DVD collection of all types of movies. Karate movies are the best - Bruce Lee!! I enjoy all types of music, but r & b, soul, oldies, and reggae are my main genres. I have to admit, I'm starting to like a little rock, thanks to Dr. Jolley. So far, Matchbox 20 has my vote for, "best CD to listen to while working." I love shoes. I used to be a "big time" Michael Jordan shoe collector. Basketball is my favorite sport - although I must say that the NBA today is just a watered-down version of what basketball used to be - but anyway, GO PHOENIX!!!

The best part of my job is meeting and talking with people. I get excited when a patient walks through the doors and I can call them by their name, or when they know my name I'm happy. That's what I call food for my soul. I feel honored to finally be a part of a group of people that care just as much as I do. It takes coming here everyday easy. When I walk through those doors in the morning I know I have entered the BEST orthodontist office in the UNIVERSE!!!!!!

Stephanie Pate, orthodontic/periodontic assistant

Hey, my name is Stephanie. I'm 21 years old and I was born in Odessa, TX. My family and I moved to Colorado in 2005 after I graduated high school. I just recently finished dental assisting school and stared working for Jolley Smiles in April of 2008. I have one dog, one cat, and oh yeah, one boyfriend. I like to watch a lot of TV and just hang out with my family.

Stacia - orthodontic/periodontic assistant

Hello, may name is Stacia Hamilton. I grew up in Parachute, CO. After I graduated high school, I went to college in Sterling, CO where I played volleyball for a year. I then came back to Grand Junction where I attended Intellitec College and studied dental assisting. I have now worked in orthodontics for two years. I love to be outdoors especially in the water. Anything at the lake; wake boarding, jet skiing, even just swimming makes me happy. Hope to see you soon!

Kayla - orthodontic/periodontic assistant

Hello, my name is Kayla. I was born in California, grew up in Oklahoma and moved to Colorado about 4 years ago, so you could say I love to travel. I love the road trips back "home" to see friends and family. However, I am thrilled that I planted my feet with Jolley Smiles after going to school to be a dental assistant. I could have never dreamed of a wonderful place like this to start my career. Other than assisting I enjoy going for walks with my husband and two dogs, watching one tree hill, road trips with my mom, little sister and brother, weekend getaways with my husband and sitting for hours watching old sappy chick flicks. Also, I love to meet new people so I can't wait to meet you!
