Priscila Swearingen was born and raised in Mansfield, Texas.  She attended both Tarrant County Junior College and North Texas State University.  Priscila started in the pediatric dental field in 1993 as a clinical assistant and joined Dr. Rozas as her business manager in 1998.  Having experience in both the clinical and business area of dentistry make Priscila an excellent resource for parents and any questions they may have.

Priscila resides in Coppell with her husband, William and their three children, Haley, Tripp and Jett.  Although her after-work schedule is filled with carpool, homework and numerous sports activities, she still finds a little spare time for herself.  She enjoys exercising and running, traveling and many outdoor activities.  In fact, she is training for her first half marathon this spring. Go Priscila!

Kay received her Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Texas A&M University.  In fact, she and Dr. Rozas resided in the same dorm at the same time, without ever meeting!  She spent her early career in various corporate public relations and marketing roles with AT&T and Coach Leatherwear.  Eventually, she chose the most challenging job of being a stay at home mom!  During these child-rearing years, Kay owned and operated several small businesses out of her home, giving her more flexibility to be with her children.  Kay joined our office as a professional relations director in February 2008, and her responsibilities include handling all marketing, advertising and coordination between physicians and dentists.

Kay resides in Coppell with her husband, David (who is also an Aggie!), and their three handsome sons, Mason, Austin and Walker.  And if three children were not enough to take care of, she also has two Australian Shepherds.  Most of her spare time is spent with her boys, and their sporting events, homework and errands.  When she does get a few brief minutes to herself, she enjoys photography, tennis and socializing with her friends.

Tammie Duncan has over 22 years experience in pediatric dentistry.  She started as a dental assistant as a teenager in Lubbock and now works as Dr. Rozas’ patient coordinator since 2001.  Tammie is certified in CPR, Radiation and Nitrous Oxide administration.  She attends continuing education programs throughout the year to keep her up to date on the most current changes in the pediatric field.  Having a great knowledge and experience in both the clinical setting and the business area of pediatric dentistry helps her make parents and children feel more comfortable about their visits to the dentist.

Born and raised in Lubbock, Tammie is a true Red Raider fan. She moved to Flower Mound in 2000 with her terrific husband, Tim and two wonderful children, Dusty and Presleigh.  When not working, Tammie stays busy with Presleigh’s soccer schedule, and she enjoys spending time with her family, shopping, and traveling in her spare time.

Jamie Barrows has been involved in dentistry for 22 years, and she has been with Dr. Rozas’ practice for the last 10 of those.  She is involved with patient and parents in scheduling treatment and new patient appointments.  Another aspect of her job is to help guide parents through the dental experience if they need to be treated in a hospital setting.  Jamie is also certified in Nitrous Oxide and Radiology.  Jamie most enjoys working with her colleagues in a fun environment and delivering excellent care to our patients and parents.

Jamie lives in Lewisville, with her witty husband Paul, and their two children, Megan and Brandon.  Her two angels keep her very busy when away from work with school activities, dance and soccer.  Her favorite pastime is working on her family’s scrapbook.

Karen and her husband, Allen, have lived in Coppell since 1991. Life with 3 boys (Austin, Parker, and Connor) and 2 dogs (Tex and Lucky) keep their house a busy place.  In the “off season”, her spare time is spent outdoors camping or heading to the lake for some great family time.
