Meet our Team

Jill, RN

At your first appointment in the office, our nurse, Jill, will escort you to a consultation room and review your medical history with you. When you decide to schedule surgery, Jill will be responsible for setting the date and coordinating your care. Jill will use her expertise to help guide you through the surgery process from your initial consultation to your final post-op visit. Jill joined our staff in 2013 after spending 8 years as the plastic surgery service line leader at Fairfield Medical Center, so she brings both clinical knowledge plus plastic surgery practical experience to our team. Jill is an excellent resource for all of your clinical questions, and your pre-op and post-op care.

When Jill is not at work, she enjoys spending time with her family, especially during the summer on Buckeye Lake. You will often find Jill at the side of a court, track, or ballfield cheering on her incredibly active children.
