Danette

Office Manager / Treatment Coordinator

I am the office manager and treatment coordinator. My goal is to make every day efficient and enjoyable. I’ve loved Orthodontics ever since I had braces as a teenager. Dentistry is my passion and I really enjoy seeing all the smiling faces! Outside of the office, you will find me spending time with my family, shopping or boating & waterskiing.

Amanda H.

Insurance Coordinator

I am one of the patient care coordinators and my job is to make sure you have a great dental experience from start to finish. Part of that involves making sure patients are well informed regarding their dental treatment and insurance. I chose Pediatrics because I love kids. Dentistry, in general, has always fascinated me especially with all the new advances they are making every day! I enjoy running, reading and spending time with my family – my husband, our 2-year-old daughter Harper, and our 9-year-old son Kingston.

Megan

Patient Care Coordinator

I am one of the Patient Care Coordinators in the office. Dentistry chose me! I’ve been interested in dentistry since the first time my grandpa put me in his dental chair. I also love kids so this job is perfect! In my free time, I love anything outdoors, trying new foods, and most of all spending time with my son, Hendrix.

Brittany

Patient Care Coordinator

I am one of the Patient Coordinators. I help ensure every visit is a good one. Dental health has been a passion of mine for quite some time. Especially once my son started to have his teeth grown. In my free time, we are at the beach or camping!

My role in the office is a Dental Assistant. I had braces when I was younger and it changed the way I saw myself and gave me a boost of confidence. I love helping others, so I wanted to do the same for them. In my free time, I like to do arts and crafts, shop, and listen to music. I love spending time with my family, friends, and dogs.
