One benefit of an office team having worked together so many years is the warm, friendly atmosphere that naturally arises from working with friends. Working every day in that environment makes providing patients with the best possible care just that much easier..
Having been with Dr. Jileks dental practice for years, Shannon is one of our most recognizable faces and voices. Always excited to learn something new, Shannon is always looking for ways to help patients feel comfortable with their dental experience.
In addition to dental assisting duties, Isabel is also our go-to fix-it person! Her sense of humor helps patients feel relaxed and at ease. Elsewhere in life, she is loving her time in her life doing fun Grandma Things.
Shawn is a Benton City girl who is another familiar face around our office, happily greeting each patient. She began her dental career as an assistant before moving into the administrative side of the practice.
Angela graduated from the CBC Dental Hygiene program five years ago, but just recently joined the Jilek Family team. She and her husband (who is also a hygienist) enjoy playing board games with friends and family. She paddleboards as time permits, and recently started snowboarding.
