Meet the Grapevine Dental Staff

Jennifer Richardson

Jennifer Richardson - Front Desk

I was born and raised in Fort Worth Texas and graduated from Richland High School. After a career in Property Management I made the leap into Dentistry. This was a decision that ended up being the best choice I could have made. I love assisting our patients with their questions. I can answer all of your questions from insurance to scheduling. I truly enjoy being that friendly face that our patients look for. When I am not at work, my main hobby is hanging out with my Boxer/Lab mix Bo Elizabeth. 








Courtney Brown

Courtney Brown - Dental Assistant

I graduated from Weatherford High School in 2008. I went directly into assisting school at Tarrant County College Northeast Campus in Hurst during August 2008. I started working for Dr. Colangelo in January 2009 and I became Lead Assistant in July 2009. From a very young age I enjoyed going to the dentist and visiting all the staff. As a result, I find my current position highly fulfilling. Furthermore, I truly enjoy getting to know my patients, their families, and their lives. They have so many stories to tell. It makes me proud that all our staff efforts make the lives of our patients healthier. Nothing can describe the feeling I get after we finish a procedure with a patient and they are overcome with gratitude. In my free time I enjoy spending time with friends and family as well as working out, music, traveling, and furthering my education.



Debbie Sledge
Debbie Sledge - Dental Hygienist

I went to High School in Southeast Texas in a small town. When I say small, I mean small. My graduating class consisted of 45 students. After graduation I went to Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas and after two years of basics I decided to attend Dental Hygiene School and I graduated with my Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene in 1987. After graduation I moved to Fort Worth with my mother and began my career. I practiced for a number of years full-time until I began my family. I became a stay at home mom and after a 3 year stint in Chicago I came back to Texas and began practicing part-time. I have been back as part-time since 1996. I love my job for many reasons but getting to know my patients and giving them the best care that I can makes me feel really good at the end of the day! When I'm not working, I enjoy playing tennis. Actually, I probably should say I am a bit addicted to tennis. I play whenever and wherever I can.
