Julia Ann (Jules) MorganJulia Ann (Jules) Morgan is the Dental Clinic Coordinator.

With over 30 years of experience in the field, Jules had early exposure to dentistry (and inspiration for entering the profession) since her father was a dentist. Her career began as a sterilization technician before she became a Certified Dental Assistant. She returned to school to earn her Dental Hygiene degree and become a licensed Dental Hygienist in both Florida and Georgia, later serving as faculty at LECOM School of Dental Medicine. Most recently she was licensed in the State of Alabama as a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH).

Jules says she has always considered Dothan home and is excited to return to help initiate the first-of-its-kind UAB Dentistry Dothan clinic. She enjoys outdoor activities, saying her favorites are gardening, working on her property, spending time with her pets, taking time out for sunshine and the beach, and time with family and friends.

Ashanty Rivers

Kelli CliftonAshanty Rivers is the Dental Assistant II.

Ashanty became certified in Dental Assisting because she believes dentistry is a rewarding career. In her position, she is able to help people on a daily basis and, in some cases, change their lives by making them smile and regain confidence. For her, helping patients attain beautiful smiles and rediscover their true selves is the best part of working in dentistry.

Ashanty was raised in Webb, AL where she spent time with her family and friends. She went to Houston County High School where she played basketball for the Lady Lions and was on the varsity cheerleading team. During her free time she likes to enjoy family time, travel, and help coach peewee cheerleading.

 

Kimberly Paige (KP)

Kimberly PaigeKimberly Paige is the Patient Services Coordinator.

With a heart for service, and background in health care and dentistry, Kimberly brings both compassion and experience. She began her career in the radiology/medical field but took time away during COVID to care for her family and focus on her ranch. During that time, she also dedicated herself to helping others—volunteering with families in need of at-home health support. Later, her focus shifted to Dentistry. She began as a sterilization tech, later worked as a Dental Assistant, and eventually moved into Management and Finance for a dental practice.

Dentistry has always been a true passion for Kimberly, because it allows her to combine her love for people with the ability to make a real, visible impact in their lives. She finds joy in helping patients feel comfortable, confident, and cared for every step of the way. Her passion for people, her drive to make a difference, and her calm, friendly presence make her a valued part of our practice and a true advocate for our patients.

During her free time, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband Britt, children Jaci Lynn, Kimber Lynn, Harlan Haise, and son-in-law Michael. She is looking forward to becoming a grandmother in September of 2025.
