Meg
Director of Operations
Since joining a wink & a smile in 2013, Meg has spent her time getting to know our patients and helping us create the a wink & a smile family! She prefers to get to know our patients on a personal level and turn those relationships into friendships.
Why do you love working with your team?
“Our office culture is that of an extended family living together. We work with people we enjoy which makes it easy to get up and go to work every morning. We are always laughing and having fun while working hard!”
When not in the office, Meg can be found spoiling her massive rescue dogs, plotting how to troll her mother, and/or visiting her happy place on the Ware River.

Jenny
Patient Management
Jenny joined a wink & a smile in 2019 shortly after arriving in Virginia from her native New Jersey. Often hailed as the nicest person in the office–by her a wink & a smile team, Jenny is the perfect person to ensure your every visit exceeds expectations, leaving you feeling comfortable and pleased!
The first thing she notices about someone is their smile, which explains why she works so hard to make sure everyone has a smile they love! As someone who has been in the dental industry since 2011, Jenny knows the ins and outs of all dental procedures and how to explain them for someone who isn’t as well versed.
What makes a wink & a smile different than other offices, in her own words?
“I have never been to another healthcare office that puts in so much effort just to make sure the patient is fully comfortable. We are very high tech and offer many options for the most conservative, yet necessary treatment. Plus…the coolest part of all is we are both dental and vision!”
In her free time, Jenny likes to start new hobbies, stay up to date on the latest super hero movies, and spend time with friends. She and her husband often return to visit family in Jersey, but yet to convince any team members Jersey is a desirable place to visit.

How does Cinthia interact with patients, in her own words?
