While enjoying her time outside of work, Jhoane likes to read novels and spend time with her husband and two kids; they love the outdoors and taking walks along the river with their two dogs on the weekends.

Her Air Force experience has instilled in her the values of hard work, caring, respect for others, and teamwork.

She says now that she actually has them, she loves connecting with patients and sharing their wonderfully positive experience. She especially enjoys seeing the huge boost in confidence that comes with an amazing Kineret Orthodontics Smile!
