Originally from Denver, CO, Dr. Jackson is excited to be in the Kansas City area. He is passionate about making dental visits a positive and enjoyable experience for children, helping them understand that caring for their teeth can be simple and fun.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Jackson enjoys chess, Bachata dancing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, weightlifting, and learning Spanish. His favorite quote, by Thomas Edison, reflects his philosophy on patient care:

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will instruct his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet, and the cause and prevention of disease."
