Dr. Jennifer Grove is a 2004 graduate of the University of Iowa, College of Dentistry. In 2004 & 2005 she practiced in Bloomington, Minnesota as an associate for a general dentist. During her time in Minnesota she had the opportunity to work in a practice with advanced technology and state-of-the-art equipment. This experience enabled her to enhance her skills as a dentist. The past year has been exciting and busy for her and her husband, Andy, as they have gotten married, moved to Grimes, and helped with planning and preparation of their new business. Since opening in the fall of 2005, she has attended a continuous education course certifying her in Invisalign®, and has completed courses in the areas of endodontics and comprehensive orthodontics. In her free time she enjoys spending time with family and friends, cooking, shopping, reading, and fishing with her husband.

** BIO COMING SOON **

Dr. Hawkins is a 2007 graduate of the University of Iowa College of Dentistry. She was originally inspired to go to dental school from her grandfather, Benny Hawkins, who is a retired Periodontist from the University of Iowa. Practicing general dentistry has been very rewarding for Rachel. She was born and raised in Iowa City, which makes her a huge Hawkeye fan! Moving to Johnston and working in Grimes has been an enjoyable and easy transition for Rachel, because she feels at home in the office and the community. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, watching Iowa sports, walking her dog, and relaxing. Rachel has been a wonderful addition to our office. Since coming to our office in early July 2007, patients and staff have truly welcomed her into the family. From all of us at Grove & Platt Dental Associates, we are glad to have her here!
