Dr. Joseph Jackson
I love being a member of such a well respected community of professionals. I strive to be the best dentist I can be through education and service to my community. Organized dentistry has a strong voice within healthcare and I’m proud to be a part of it. We are constantly working to improve not only the dental health of our community but their overall health as well. The effort we put in to educating and treating our patients everyday will benefit their health for the rest of their lives.
I focus on speaking to my patients as equals and strive to be attentive to their needs and concerns while conveying what I feel is important to their dental health. I hope to give my patients the quality dental care they expect and deserve, and I treat them as I would my family. I hope to have each patient leave our office feeling that they have received the best dental care available.
Being a general dentist, it is important to be involved in continuing education of all kinds. I attend both local and out of town seminars and conferences regularly. Dental technology moves at a fast pace. It is important to attend continuing education to keep up with the latest advancements in order to provide the best care possible for my patients.
I was born and raised in the Quad Cities and graduated from United Township High School in 1996. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2000 and earned my Doctorate of Dental Medicine at Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine in 2004.
The Quad Cities community is very important to me, and it is a pleasure to be able to give back to the community through dentistry. I have served as a board member for the Rock Island District Dental Societyand served as president for the 2011-2012 year. I participate in several charitable efforts such as the Give Kids a Smile Program, Bethany Mobile Dental Bus Clinic program, and the Christina’s Smile program associated with the PGA tour and the John Deere Classic.
My wife, Catherine, and I have been married since 2006. We have two beautiful daughters named Ella and Emmy. In my free time I enjoy exercising, playing basketball and golf, and watching movies. I am also an avid fan of my alma mater, the Fighting Illini.

Dr. Claudia Neuhalfen
Associate Dentist
I'm excited to join the team here and will be available on Thursdays, while Dr. Jackson will continue providing care Monday through Thursday.
I'm a familiar face to the area, having grown up in Annawan, Illinois. After earning my degree from the University of Illinois, I went on to receive my D.D.S. from Marquette University, one of the nation’s top dental schools. With my comprehensive training, I’m ready to offer a full range of dental services!
Whether you're coming in for a routine check-up or more advanced care, I’m here to provide the highest quality treatment in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
Barbara
Advanced Procedures Coordinator
I have been a part of Joseph D. Jackson DMD since April 2013, beginning my journey as one of Dr. Jackson and Dr. Lemon’s clinical assistants. After three years in that role, I transitioned to the front office as our Appointment Coordinator, where I served for five years. In 2021, I was honored to take on a new challenge when Dr. Jackson entrusted me with managing our advanced procedures, including sleep dental medicine, clear aligners, and dental implants.
Outside of work, I enjoy cheering on the Chicago Blackhawks with my husband and son, traveling, reading, and making large knit blankets.
