Adam
Dental Hygienist
Adam has been practicing dental hygiene since 2005. He joined Dr. Fred Jaeger at Hilldale Dental in 2017 upon relocating to Madison from Denver, CO. He was drawn to Hilldale Dental because of the tight-knit group of professionals who collaborate to help patients achieve dental health. Adam appreciates the level of fun and professionalism on this team and Dr. Jaeger’s confidence and competency as a dentist. His goal as a dental hygienist is not only to provide quality dental health care and oral health education to his clients but also to make them feel welcomed and comfortable. He says, “I always want my clients to feel a sense of well-being at the dental office and offer a warm smile and a caring touch. It is my goal for patients to leave the dental chair with a healthy mouth and a smile on their face.” Adam lives on the North side of Madison with his wife, Kelly, a Communication Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater at Rock County, and their two sons, Crosby and Forest. Adam enjoys snowboarding, hiking, camping, live music, great food, gardening, biking, and, of course, helping raise his two spectacular boys.
Kim
Dental Hygienist
Kim joined Hilldale Dental in 2022 and offers 26 years of experience as a dental hygienist. Her special attention to detail and fun-loving care for her patients have been present in both full-time positions as well as temporary hygiene. She believes that patient care is a team effort between every specialist that cares for that patient.
As a melanoma survivor, Kim is passionate about encouraging patients to learn more about the mouth-body connection, and with her extended education as a certified health coach, she loves to work with patients on behavior modification and options for better oral health. Kim enjoys spending time with her husband, Greg, and their two sons. She loves working out, spending time with friends, listening to crime podcasts, and making homemade tortillas for others that her grandmother taught her to make. When she is not at the office or taking care of her family, she takes time to visit her family in Illinois and care for her parents and grandmother.
Taylor

Taylor completed the dental assistant program in 2020 and joined the Hilldale Dental team as an assistant in March of 2023.
