You will be thankful you found Dr. Stafford and his staff when you meet them. He looks forward to seeing you soon!

She and her husband, Joey, have been together since high school and have two children, Makenna and Colton, who are the highlight of their lives. As a family, they love to travel and find experiencing new things and different scenery makes for some great family memories.
Jordan's goal is to help every patient feel appreciated and valued. She’s great at communicating, and during patient treatment, she takes the time to explain what she’s doing and, more importantly, why she is doing it. She wants to become the hygienist you can trust and rely on for lifetime preventative care.
