Meet Our Team

Dr. Bruno couldn’t do what she does without the support of her friendly and highly trained team of pros who help tend to our patients’ needs.

Jolene,
Registered Dental Hygienist

“Wellness has always been important to me,” says Jolene, “and is the ‘why’ of my decision to shift to biological dentistry,” joining our team in spring of 2021. Originally from Porter, TX, Jolene holds an Associate of Science degree from Kingwood College and completed her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from the UT School of Dentistry in 2000. She is also certified by the Academy of Laser Dentistry. “What I love about Bruno Integrative Dentistry is the detailed time and energy given to each and every one of our patients. We truly care about helping our patients achieve optimal health.”

Jolene and her husband – and three kids and multiple pets (usually including at least one golden retriever) – have lived in the Austin area for 10 years. Together, they enjoy nature, camping, traveling, seeking out eclectic art, superhero movies, and homesteading. With a knack for gardening and making organic self-care products, Jolene is extremely passionate about health, nutrition, supplementation, and how they pertain to quality of life and longevity.

Ayla,
Registered Dental Assistant

A native of West Texas, Ayla trained under and worked with holistic dentists for 6 years before joining Dr. Bruno’s team in spring of 2021. “I love seeing our work transform patients into healthier and happier people,” she says. When not working, she enjoys trying new restaurants and biking around the city with her boyfriend.

Elissa, Registered Dental Assistant
Having graduated from Everest Institute Dental Assisting School in 2007, Elissa joined our team in late 2020. Originally from Marble Falls, TX, she enjoys spending her spare time outdoors and with her family, and loves to read and follow a healthy holistic lifestyle. “I enjoy helping people down the path of health and wellness,” she says, “and working with Dr. Bruno to deliver exceptional holistic care.”

Sarah,
Office Manager

Certified in medical administration by Ashworth College, Sarah has been in the dental field for roughly 5 years and joined our team in 2020. When you come into our office, you may find her happily engaged in any number of tasks, from scheduling to ordering supplies to communicating with patients and other providers – and plenty in between, all to maintain the utmost patient experience we can provide. “Our team is small and close-knit,” she says, “and I feel blessed to be part of a team that enjoys coming to work and making our patients feel comfortable and heard each and every day.” Outside the office, this native of Newport News, VA, enjoys spending time with her husband and their children, traveling to new places and spending lots of time outside. Sarah also loves to spend her free time crafting, shopping, and organizing.

Happy Patients

We understand that no one really enjoys going to the dentist, but we’re proud to say that each of our patients is happy to be at our office. They tell us so every day. That speaks volumes to us as we strive to make biologic dentistry as easy, safe, and accessible for all of our patients.

Juniper Vaughn

Hands down the best healthcare I've ever received in my entire life! As a single mother and young student, I don't have a huge budget but was determined to get the most holistic dental work possible. The team worked attentively with me and my needs, prioritizing the care that was most urgent and then offering multiple financing options. They also offer resources for patients to learn more about biological dentistry and whole-body health and are willing to answer any questions I have had (and I've had a lot, from advice on loans and credit to diet and mouth physiology)! The passion for their work is plainly evident. Everyone at the office is extremely kind and approachable. It feels like walking into a room full of friends rather than the distant and impersonal experience that many of us have in standard healthcare. They are busy, so expect a steep fine if you miss an appointment (that time slot could otherwise be used for someone else in need), but with clear and timely communication you will be in good relationship with your healthcare team, as well as everyone else in your life. Highly recommend!

Dr Bruno is the most knowledgeable Dentist I've met. She's supportive, informative and truly wanted the best for my complex situation. Goes above and beyond. If your teeth and your health are important, I can't recommend enough.

I switched to Bruno Integrative Dentistry about a year ago & I love it. I feel like the team works together great & Dr. Bruno is a badass in her field. You can tell how passionate she is & how committed she is to learning more & more about her field. Every time I go, I have tons of questions & they are all so open to guiding me through the entire process. They’ve given me 2 cleanings, removed my mercury fillings & replaced my crown. Love their approach!
