About Ward Family Dental, PC

Jennifer is our terrific office manager. She has been an integral part of this staff for many years and has risen through the ranks from talented Clinical Assistant to patient care coordinator and now to office manager. She understands all aspects of our growing dental practice. Jennifer says the best part of her job has always been helping our patients achieve their dental goals of excellent dental health and an awesome smile. Now, she gets to do that by being Dr. Ward’s “right hand” in running the business and staff management portions of the dental practice so he can concentrate on patient care.

She is the proud mom of one and three stepchildren, all between the ages of 16-21.

Brandi is our administrative assistant. Brandi has been working at our office since 2011 and has quickly “learned” her way in the field of dentistry. She is a Big Spring native and a graduate of Forsan High School and Texas Tech, with some time at Howard College. Brandi is married to her high school sweetheart, Ruben, and she is the proud parent of two amazing kids: her son, Raven, and her daughter, Autumn. She enjoys spending time with her family, reading, and studying the Korean language. She has been a great addition to our team.

Autumn was born and raised in Big Spring and graduated from Forsan High School with honors in 2023. In her spare time, she enjoys studying the Polish language, reading, doing jigsaw puzzles, and playing with her cats.

Gabby has been in the dental field for over three years. She is married to her wonderful husband, Jose, and is the proud mother of Nicholas, Jazlynn, and Iker. Originally from Fort Stockton, Gabby graduated high school in 2010 and moved to Big Spring in March 2015. We are very glad Gabby joined our team to help out patients with their scheduling, insurance, and financial concerns.

Joann is our dedicated and hardworking schedule coordinator. She has been a talented member of our team for several years. She is a registered dental assistant who started for us as our hygiene scheduling coordinator before working her way up to be our head clinical assistant and, most recently, schedule coordinator. Joann says the most rewarding part of her job is helping our patients transform their smiles. Now she does that behind a desk instead of chairside.

Joann is married to Ray, and they have three kids: Jackie, Samuel, and Zoe. In her free time, she enjoys cooking, baking, running, and watching her kids play sports.

Shortly after graduation, she began her dental career in 2006, working for Dr. Robert Patterson until his retirement. She began working at our practice in 2012 and is now our head assistant. She is certified to take X-rays, monitor sedated patients, and help Dr. Ward in all the different procedures he performs. She is also specially trained to scan, design, and fabricate our E4D computer-designed and milled same-day crowns. Ginni is also a busy mother of two little boys, Brantley and Kizer, who keep her on her toes. She has been an excellent addition to our staff.

Rubi has been an RDA since 2014 and is excited to work with our amazing team. Primarily an ortho assistant, Rubi has been able to assist in general dentistry and support the offices as a lab tech. Her favorite and most rewarding part of her job is seeing the amazing smiles of the patients post-treatment.

Vickie has been a dental hygienist since 1991, when she graduated with her Associate of Dental Science Degree in Dental Hygiene from Howard College. She has worked with Dr. Ward since 2003. Vickie is an integral part of our team and provides wonderful care to her patients. Vickie says one of the best rewards of working in the hygiene field is being able to teach her patients how to care for their mouths so that they can have healthy teeth and gums for their lifetime, improving their overall health. And on the personal side, getting the opportunity to know her patients and their families is icing on the cake!

Vickie is married to Gary, and they have two daughters. Their youngest, Emily, keeps them busy with her passion for horses and barrel racing. Their oldest daughter, Meagan, and son-in-law, Cody, have blessed them with three grandchildren: Adalynn, Zachariah, and Caleb. Spending any and all time with the family is a joy and blessing. With the family growing over the last few years, Vickie gets to have a lot of photography time.
