Meet Dr. Jen

“This Is Where My Calling Is!”

I’ve always loved working with kids, helping them overcome their fear, and turning what they thought was scary into a positive experience for them!

Love At First Sight? I Never Thought I Believed In That…

I was a sophomore in dental school at Oregon Health Sciences University when I met my husband, David Datwyler. He was actually my lab instructor and was teaching me how to make an orthodontic retainer… but the thing that ended up bringing us together was – we were both runners. Our first true date was actually a training run through the town of Portland.

I never thought I believed in that, but it was kind of love at first sight.

“What impresses me most about Jen is her integrity. She’s a hard worker, has a great lust for life, and she’s truly a good person inside.”

Catch Me At Ironman…
If You Can!

So our first date was a training run through the town of Portland, and I’m still running! I’m actually a triathlete now — I’ve done 10 Ironman Races and countless Half Ironman races. Training to compete for Ironman is intense, but I love pushing myself, seeing what I can really do. I love just being out there with my friends and with Dave, and I love the sense of community!

One of the things that really drives me is a desire to excel — in triathlons, in my personal life, and in my work. I believe in working hard and bringing my absolute best to everything that I do.

I Think I’ve Got The Best Dental Team Around!

They are so competent and experienced, but they’re fun, and they have a real talent for being able to meet a child where they’re at. They believe in what they do. They want you to have a great experience, each and every time you come through our doors. And they want to make sure that you and your child leave with a big old smile on their face.

I’m so proud to work with this amazing team!
