Dr Jungmeyer is originally from Eldon, Missouri near Lake of the Ozarks. During high school she worked for the family business, Jungmeyer Heating and Air Conditioning. Dr Jungmeyer learned the value of treating people right and that return business is what keeps things going. From her father she learned sheet metal work, welding, woodworking as well as balancing a checkbook and managing the financial issues with running a business.
Dr Jungmeyer left Eldon to attend Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg, Missouri. In 1992 she received her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Missouri- Kansas City School of Dentistry.

Before opening her practice in Lees Summit in 1996, Dr Jungmeyer worked in a group practice. She gained clinical experience from Dr Dale Ewing and Dr Merle Nunemaker. Dr Ewing had been a practicing dentist for 50 years. There is much to be learned from that kind of experience. Dr Nunemaker is still practicing in South Kansas City and is very active in the Missouri Dental Association and the American Dental Association. The variety of clinical philosophy and second to none ethics was the best possible experience as a new graduate.
Dr Jungmeyer is married and has three children. She has been a resident of Lees Summit since l996. Her hobbies include traveling, scuba diving, flying airplanes, snow skiing and keeping up with her kids. Her practice and family keep her very busy.
