Brenda
Hello, my name is Brenda. I have two beautiful children, Rachel and Billy Joe. I enjoy spending time with them: riding bikes, rollerblading, and cooking together. I have been with Dr. Kogut since 1990, making use of my personable, easygoing personality as a Patient Care Specialist. I have had the opportunity over the years to see our family grow with the addition of Drs. Villaseñor. I am impressed by the way each doctor relates well to children, including my own. I couldn't ask for better people to work with every day. The team creates an environment that is fun so the day doesn't seem like work.

Jayson
Hi, my name is Jayson. I was born and raised in the Midwest, Iowa to be specific. I lived in El Paso, TX for a few years, where I met my lovely wife Kimberly. We now live in the Dallas area. We really love being here and plan to stay for quite a while. In my spare time I enjoy watching movies and any type of sport, playing golf and tennis, and spending time with my wife, our family, and friends. In 2007, I felt my life was headed a different direction, so I made a career move to the dental world. I work as an administrative assistant where I thoroughly enjoying working with the doctors, staff, and of course, the kids.

As a hygienist for Mark Kogut's team since 1989, I am blessed with warm and supportive teammates who are nothing short of phenomenal, making my time at work a pleasure. I also feel very fortunate that the dentists I work with support relationship building as a priority. That encourages me to do what I love... taking time to get to know you and your child so that any unique needs are met with an experience that is not only positive, but fun! Helping children to become comfortable and confident has been my greatest joy through the years. I am married to Bob, a tennis pro, with whom I share one daughter, Kim, a graduate of UT who is currently working in Public Relations in Los Angeles. Relaxation for me is reading, movies, anything outdoors, and travel. My true passion however, is running, with my "wow" race being the Boston Marathon.

I have been working as a dental hygienist with Dr. Kogut since he began his practice in 1979. I love working with children and it is important to me to treat each child the way I would like my own children to be treated. It's fun working in a great environment with people who work together well. I enjoy the challenge of making going to the dentist a fun experience. My husband Matt and I have three daughters, Rachel (and her husband Marc), Claire, and Grace. Our favorite hobby is hiking in the mountains of Colorado.

Pepper
In April of 2005, I began working for Drs. Kogut and Villaseor as a part-time dental hygienist. I was born and raised here in the Lake Highlands area of Dallas. I have a very outgoing personality. I love to sing, travel, and experience other cultures. I'm always trying to learn something new. I love pediatric dentistry because I have the opportunity to make a child's dental visit an enjoyable experience and influence how they will feel about dental care in the future. I have the privilege to work with a wonderful staff dedicated to the care and well-being of each child, and I have peace of mind knowing that the doctors are dedicated to making sure each child gets the quality care they deserve.
