Dr. Jay and his wife, Pam, live in Plano with their two daughters, Lauren and Caroline.

And, of course, he is a Louisiana State University (LSU) Tiger through and through. Over the years, your neighborhood Plano dentist, Dr. Hidalgo, has discovered that making a positive difference in people's lives is truly what gives his life meaning. Through his care and concern for his family, patients, and community, Dr. Hidalgo is able to make that difference.
