Hi, my name is JD and I am the Practice Administrator. I am also the husband to the Doctor, however that does not get me any special treatment here. I joined the team shortly after Dr. Patera passed away suddenly in 2003 and continued to manage the practice while Dr. Parks finished dental school and transitioned into full time dentist. I have an accounting degree from Iowa State University and have taken my MBA classes at the University of Phoenix. I have over 13 years of experience in the accounting and tax industry and have management projects with some of bests companies in the country. Dr. Parks and I currently live in Ida Grove with our 4 children, Isabella, Andrew, Joshua, and Samuel. I enjoy sports of all kinds, but mostly enjoy a couple of rounds of golf every week. I also am a avid fan of Iowa State Football and wrestling and travel to as many games and meets as possible. If there is anything that we can do for you, please contact me directly.

Very enjoyable. Everyone is so pleasant and talkable. Nobody seems to be in a rush to get you in and out so they can get to the next patient. Everybody seems to have time to talk and exchange small talk. I enjoy my conversations.

The owner of Patera Family Dentistry went way out of her way to take care of a dental issue I recently had. I was on a very short timeframe to be available for her to help me with my issue. I can't thank her enough for the time she took to help me. This is what small town Iowa is all about, very personalized service. Thank you again!

I was provided excellent service today by Erin and Dr Parks!!! They took the time to explain what was going on with my teeth and what was causing the pain!!! So comforting when one is in pain to have caring professionals by your bed side or chair side!!! I've worked with Erin and Abby before and they both have excellent people skills which is so helpful when going to the dentist!!!

They are so good with my daughter who is 4 years old. She doesn't always cooperate and they take their time and explain everything to her so she can understand it.

While waiting at the Dentist office, there was a little boy showing me what he got after this teeth cleaned, his kid's toothpaste, spongebob toothbrush, floss and his toy, I told him I'm expecting to get a toy too! One of the hygienist heard me, she said if I behave . After my teeth cleaned she asked me what color of toothbrush I want, I said Blue and a toy and I got a toy, my hygienist is the best, Erin
