Meet Your Dental Team – Rowley, MA
Exceptional
On Purpose
The health of the relationship between the provider and the patient is just as important as the health of the patient. We are proud of our small team of professionals who are here to provide you with excellent care.
Jenna-Lee, Office Manager
Jenna studied at Merrimack College and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in both Sociology and Human Services Administration. Jenna has been part of our dental team since 2015 and she brings a wealth of experience in the healthcare field as she has managed assisted living facilities, homecare companies and psychiatric treatment facilities. Small business, however, is where her passion lies and she loves being able to personally contribute to not only the success of the business, but to see the positive impact our care can have on the lives of our patients. The best part of her job by far, is creating relationships with the wonderful patients we have! She enjoys being part of a team that focuses on providing great service and truly cares about the overall health of our patients.
Jenna lives in Amesbury with her husband Nick and their daughter Aria and in her free time, she enjoys reading, gardening, and cycling. In the summer, Jenna can be found on the water, fishing, boating, and enjoying time with her family at their lake house. In the winter, she can be found rink side, cheering on her daughter’s hockey team. Jenna is also passionate about the arts and can even be found on stage at some of our amazing local, community theatres.
Nancy, Dental Assistant
Nancy has been involved in dentistry for over 29 years and she is definitely an expert at helping patients feel well cared for during their visit. She is trained in CAD/CAM technology, X-rays, and laboratory work.
Nancy has three daughters – who live in New Hampshire, Missouri, and the DC area. During her free time, her favorite hobbies include enjoying the beach, traveling, gardening, spending time with loved ones, and participating in community theater. It’s a great way to meet new friends, and she loves transforming into different types of people and performing her characters!
After 26 years as a dedicated and compassionate assistant, working alongside Dr. St. Clair and expertly caring for our patients with love and an innate sense of humor that always puts patients at ease, Nancy has officially retired from our office-but don’t be surprised if you happen to see her at your next visit as a special guest, still providing amazing teamwork and making patients smile.
Julie, Dental Assistant
Julie has a Bachelor’s degree from Providence College and is also a Chiropractor who practiced for 14 years. She changed professions in 2014 to allow time to care for her young children and aging mother. Julie is a DANB Certified Dental Assistant who worked in a dental office for 8 years before joining Dr. St. Clair’s team in 2023.

Karen, Dental Hygienist
Karen has been providing dental care since 1979 when she graduated from Middlesex Community College with her Associate in Science degree in Dental Hygiene. She joined our practice in 2013. While there is so much to love about her work, Karen’s favorite part is developing a rapport with each patient. She has the innate ability to help people feel at ease, which is perfect for our dental office environment.

Karen enjoys walking the beach, cooking, reading, spending time with family and friends and giving back to the community.
