Hello, my name is Dawn and I have been working in orthodontics since 1992. I have always loved orthodontics because of the transformation of smiles and the difference it makes for that individual.

I assist patients with scheduling appointments, creating fun contests in the office, and making sure everything flows smoothly. I am brand new to working in ortho but it has been by far the best job. I could not ask for better people to work with or a better doctor to work for.
Family means the absolute world to me so I spend as much time as I can with them. My boyfriend and I love the outdoors and doing projects around the house together. You can usually find me somewhere by the water on warm summer days or enjoying a relaxing night at home.
