Meet the Doctors

Dr Julie Buchanan Tollefson

Dr. Buchanan is the daughter of Dr. Jon Y. Moody. She was born in Lincoln, Nebraska and she
grew up working as a dental assistant for her father in Holden, Utah where she graduated

Valedictorian of Millard High School. From there she attended Southern Utah University where
she graduated with honors earning a bachelor’s degree in biology.
Upon applying to dental school in 1999, Dr. Buchanan was chosen as one of only ten students
to attend the prestigious Regional Dental Education Program (RDEP). This program allowed her
to attend the University of Utah Medical School her freshman year. She then completed her
remaining three years of dental education at Creighton University School of Dentistry located in
Omaha, Nebraska. She also completed an externship in Maxillofacial Prosthodontics while in
dental school.

Dr. Buchanan graduated from dental school and started practicing with her father in Saint
George, Utah in 2003. She is a member of the Spear Education Faculty Club and is a Spear
Study Club Leader in the area meaning she promotes the growth and education of local
dentists. She also continues her dedication to extensive continuing education and the use of
cutting-edge technology. This in conjunction with a new 2700 square foot state-of-the-art office
that she built with her father in 2007 allows her to offer her patients unparalleled quality and
professionalism in their care and treatment.

When not seeing patients, Dr. Buchanan enjoys photography, cooking, traveling and going to
the movies. She lists ‘Beauty and the Beast’ as her favorite movie. Her favorite food is anything
Mexican and especially Street Tacos! When asked what she likes best about Apple A Day
Family Dentistry, she says, ‘my staff. I work with the best!’ Dr Buchanan resides in Washington
fields with her two sons and husband.

Dr. Jon Y. Moody

Dr. Moody has been practicing dentistry for over twenty-five years. He was born in Payson, Utah and grew up in Delta, Utah. He developed an interest in dentistry while attending Southern Utah University (SUU). After graduating from SUU, he was then accepted and graduated from the dental school at the University of Nebraska, home of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. He is still an avid football fan – Go Huskers!

His wife, Susan, and he then moved to Holden, Utah to raise their family and open the first Apple A Day Family Dentistry practice in Fillmore, Utah. Hopeful that he might someday be joined by his daughter, Dr. Moody opened a second An Apple A Day Family Dentistry location in St. George, Utah in 1997. In 2003, he welcomed his daughter back to St. George where they have been practicing together ever since.

Dr. Moody strives to be on the cutting edge of dentistry by attending continuing education programs offered through the American Dental Association and Academy of General Dentistry. He is excited to offer you the opportunity to experience the powerful combination of modern technology and an experienced touch.

In his spare time, Dr. Moody enjoys fishing, gardening, camping, and being with his grandkids. His favorite movie is ‘The Quiet Man’ with John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara. He also lists Thanksgiving Dinner as his favorite food and something unique about Dr. Moody is that he comes from a family of 11 children where he has seven brothers and three sisters.

Dr. Moody says the best thing about Apple A Day Family Dentistry is ‘the fun people I work with every day.’

Dr Noelle Wilhelmsen

Dr. Noelle Wilhelmsen spent her childhood in the mountains of Utah Valley and Idaho Falls.
During junior high and high school, she participated in various sports, cheerleading, business
and language clubs, and was elected Student Body President. Dr. Wilhelmsen attended
Brigham Young University, where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Human Biology and
taught in the Anatomy lab. She completed her dental education at the Ohio State University in
2005, where she again participated in student government and was honored to serve as the
Student Government President during her senior year, in addition to receiving a prestigious
award in Clinical Excellence.

For several years after dental school, Dr. Wilhelmsen served as the dental director at
Mountainlands Community Health Center in Provo, Utah. She also participated in many
community events, such as Give Kids a Smile, Dentistry from the Heart, public health fairs, and
dentistry for the underserved or uninsured. While her husband attended Chiropractic School in
Dallas, Texas, Dr. Wilhelmsen was employed in several prestigious private practices in the
Dallas suburbs and worked with some of the area’s most distinguished cosmetic dentists.
Because of her family’s love of the red rocks, warm weather, and outdoor activities, they
decided to put down roots in St. George in 2013, where her husband started his chiropractic
practice, Core Chiropractic. Dr. Wilhelmsen began working at Sunset Dental, followed by finding
her perfect fit with Dr. Buchanan and the amazing staff at An Apple a Day Family Dentistry.

Dr. Wilhelmsen loves to stay updated on the most current trends and treatment in dentistry by
attending continuing education seminars taught by world-renowned dentists around the country.
She assists Dr. Buchanan as a Spear Study Club Faculty member, and is also a member of the
Seattle Study Club, as well as past member of the American Dental Association, American
Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and Academy of General Dentistry. She especially enjoys and
is proficient in cosmetic dentistry, wisdom tooth extractions, root canals, implants, and Invisalign
orthodontics.

While not practicing dentistry, Dr. Wilhelmsen loves spending time with her husband, Corey
serving in their church and watching their four young children perform in area musical
productions. Some of her favorite hobbies are traveling, snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, singing,
and watercolor painting.
