As my Office Manager and Financial Coordinator of 9 years, Christina is your "go-to gal" for questions you may have about our office or your account. Christina speaks from experience when she tells adults to "go for it, you'll have no regrets" when deciding about ortho treatment! Years ago, Christina enjoyed traveling with her sisters to Italy to meet distant relatives. These days, Christina, her husband, and their children enjoy family activities at home, the coast, and the mountains! When she gets time to herself, Christina loves reading, shopping, and dreaming of again traveling the world!

My Appointment Coordinator, Marcia, has been in orthodontics for 29 years, so she has perfected the art of managing phones, patients, parents, and vendors, yet still finds time to really get to know you and make you feel like you're part of the family! Don't be surprised when she recognizes you on the phone just from your voice! Marcia loves spending time with her husband, friends, 3 sons and their families. She'll proudly show you photos of her newest of 3 granddaughters! If she's not enjoying a concert, golfing, or RV'ing, you may find Marcia daydreaming about her next career... handing out ice cream at Disney World!

Danette, my Treatment Coordinator, is one of the most positive people around! Danette will meet with you on your first visit to help you learn all about ortho treatment, and you'll see why she has loved being in the field of orthodontics for over 25 years! Danette's genuine enthusiasm for ortho treatment and her love of helping people gain self-esteem with their new smiles are a winning combination! Danette and her husband are proud that their 3 children have grown up to be wonderful young adults. When she's not at work, Danette loves to water-ski, play golf, and dreams of traveling to beautiful places.

You'll find Kelley chairside, where you will be treated to her gentle clinical skills and pleasant demeanor. Kelley's dedication to our patients and to our team is unparalleled. She isn't one to toot her own horn, but for over 15 years, Kelley has set two office records: the first is for the farthest commute, and the second for being the employee who's been with me the longest! If you ask her, Kelley will tell you how proud she is of how she and her husband have raised two level-headed kids. If you catch Kelley daydreaming, she's probably planning her next spelunking trip to the amazing caves of Central Oregon!

For nine years, Tara has shared her positive, upbeat personality with staff and patients. Ask her about adult braces in my office, and Tara will tell you its worth it and a much easier process than you are probably imagining! Originally from Montana, Tara and her husband enjoy the beautiful outdoors in Oregon, and all the events and festivals in our area. Tara also loves camping, hiking, crafts, cooking, concerts, and shopping. She dreams of travel, spending time with family and friends, and a life filled with adventure!

Eight years ago, after years of working in the business world, Janie proudly accomplished her career goals and became certified as an orthodontic assistant. If you don't see Janie assisting me chairside, you will find her cheerfully ordering and re-stocking supplies, and helping out in the lab. Janie and her family are Midwest transplants to Oregon, and they spend much of their free time exploring Oregon's beautiful scenery and enjoying the friendly people in our area.

Alexsa is the newest member of my team... sort of. She's actually known many of us since she was a child, as my orthodontic patient! We are delighted to have Alexsa as an addition to our clinical team, as she shares our same values of hard-work, patient-centered care, and providing you with an experience that will exceed your expectations. In addition to bowling and golf, Alexsa loves the changing seasons in Oregon and spending time with her friends.
