Hello there, my name is JJ and I’m a patient coordinator. After receiving my bachelor’s degree in teaching, I taught elementary education for 10 years in both Oregon and Idaho. I love working with children and families in my daily life. Working at IKDO has allowed me to continue that passion. I married my high school sweetheart; we have been married 23 years and have 2 sons. One is in high school and the oldest is out of school and working in his career choice. We are dog owners/lovers and one day soon hope to expand into owning a small piece of property to house my love for miniature farm pets. I look forward to helping you and your family in years to come.

Hello there, my name is Katelyn and I’m a patient coordinator. I’m a mom of two wild and awesome kiddos and wife to my favorite partner-in-crime. My husband and I were both raised in the great state of Idaho! We are lucky to still call it home—and my family wouldn’t dream of living anywhere else! Our days are filled with laughter, messes, and just the right amount of chaos. I love cozy nights in, kitchen dance parties, and soaking up all the cuddles and kisses from my favorite people. When the chaos quiets down, I try to sneak off with a good book and a cup of something warm (or cold, depending on the season and the kids!). It’s a little wild, a little loud, and exactly how I like it.
