Dr Jennifer Rand

Dr. Jennifer Rand is a small-town girl from Dawson, Texas. She graduated with just 24 students, from Dawson High School. She will laugh as she tells you that although she was 3rd in her class, she did not make the “Top 10%!”. She was always involved in sports, drill team and 4-H while in school. Dr. Rand also helped with the family business, Mott’s Craft Factory. In college, she opened her own small company, Collegiate Ideas, and made T-shirts and wooden trinkets for Greek organizations. Dr. Rand started her career in dentistry over 30 years ago, working in orthodontic offices in Texas and later in Springfield, Oregon. She decided to return to school to become a dentist in 1998. Three years at the University of Texas at Dallas and six years at Baylor College of Dentistry later, she walked across the stage to receive her Doctor of Dental Surgery. Quite a challenge when you have school age children with lives of their own! “So thankful for a husband who did more than his share to help me focus on school." In 2007, after graduation from Baylor College of Dentistry, Dr. Rand practiced dentistry in Collin County for eight years. "I've treated kids as young as 3 and as old as 100! My patients will tell you that I'm gentle and caring and LOVE to talk! I feel it is important to educate patients about dental health and options for creating beautiful, healthy smiles. Helping patients is what makes my heart beat. I love teaching patients how to take care of their teeth and prevent oral disease. I also love seeing "BEFORE" and "AFTER" results of cosmetic or orthodontic cases. Patients are so happy with their new smiles, it makes me, LOVE my job!" Dr. Rand and her husband, Steve have been married for over 30 years, and are parents to Josh and Caitlin. Both have beautiful families of their own. The Rands have five grandchildren; two boys and three girls. Dr. Rand has been working in Tishomingo with Dr. Ron Austin since 2015. She and Dr. Austin are two of just a handful of dentists in Oklahoma that are certified by SoonerCare to perform orthodontic treatment. They are very busy providing orthodontic care for Southeast Oklahoma. Some of their patients come from two hours away.
