DR. CASEY JONES, DMD was delighted to join Dr. Jay Wise and his wonderful staff in their efforts to deliver high-quality, compassionate care in March 2014. With a passion for educating patients on oral health as part of their overall health, it is not surprising that she attended the only dental school with oral health in it's name, The Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health. She brings with her a strong background in Public Health, most recently practicing at CHP Dental Center in Great Barrington. One of her most rewarding volunteer efforts included outreach work that took her north of the Arctic Circle to provide dental care to residents of remote Alaskan villages.
Dr. Jones is currently a member of the Berkshire District Dental Society, the Massachusetts Dental Society, the American Dental Society and Omicron Kappa Upsilon national dental honor society. She is always looking to further her skills through ongoing continuing education opportunities, including training at The Dawson Academy.
Prior to becoming a dentist, Dr. Jones toured the nation and the world as a professional dancer in productions such as "My Fair Lady" and "West Side Story". She is enjoying living in the Berkshires, which is quite a change from her home state of Arizona. Most of her spare time these days is spent helping to raise her two rambunctious toddlers.
