Meet the Team

Ain’t no Kelly like our Kelly!  She is every coworker’s friend and confidant, an amazing listener and sympathizer. A veteran of sorts moving from clinical assistant to the front desk and now she skillfully handles finances and insurance all while making appointments and answering the phone.  She is the ultimate multi-tasker!!  Outside of TC Orthodontics she shares life with her husband and her “furry baby” Gabby who had sole possession of Kelly’s heart UNTIL her new granddaughter Elliot arrived on the scene.  Now they compete for her heart of gold!

Soft spoken and kind hearted Jess loves to dance to “anything”, jazz, pop, rock and says without hesitation that her dream would be to live within a Fred Astaire movie. She is committed to her two children but loves her winter vacations to fun places with her husband.  Summer relaxing times are spent on the boat with the entire family.  Her gentle personality shines at our front desk.

Our fashionista and style coordinator, Nikki excels at all things related to “looking good”.  She loves to accessorize and maximize every look.  She takes this talent and “spreads her love” throughout the office.  She has recently made the move from caring for patients in the clinic to the front desk, where she is making fast friends with all our moms and dads. Nikki enjoys all things sports related and even more than that she loves the three men that she shares her life with.  Two little guys and her husband travel the twin cities in search of hockey, baseball, and football games.

That person at the front desk who can’t keep her witty personality hidden for long is our very own Kerri.  She is the spark of energy every front desk needs and keeps it all rocking with laughter. Ask what she does outside the office, she will tell you that the two daughters in her life will forever be her passion.  Loving a good movie, The Boy With the Striped Pajamas is a favorite, murder mystery books by author Erica Spindler, and taking walks with pooch, Cooper, are down time favorites.

The smile that never stops and laughter that infiltrates the atmosphere in which we work.  She was born to be our Treatment Coordinator guiding patients into the world of orthodontics. She also creates our social media interactions for our patients.  Not at work?  Well, this gal is BUSY – sewing, camping, canning goodies from her garden.   Throw in her three boys who keep her busy at the dirt track, baseball fields, and all things outside.  Nobody shines brighter or loves their life more than Bobbie!

Our very own ray of sunshine can be found in our Treatment Coordinator Lexy.  Her bubbly and happy-go-lucky personality make all our new patients “over the moon” to start their orthodontic journey to a new smile!  She is a forever on the go mom who constantly looks for fun and exciting adventures to share with her FIVE kiddos (three boys and twin girls). Tent camping could loosely be called her downtime.  She is the eternal optimist and inspires us all to “stay on the sunny side of life”.

This lady has the sweetest disposition in the world and luckily she shares it with TC Orthodontics.  She leads our clinical teams with poise and confidence and her amazing technical skills.  She somehow manages to handle our inventory with super human organizing talent as well.  When Lindsey isn’t working, she is taking care of a sweet little toddler, Jackson.   She and her husband love to take that little boy “up north” to the cabin where they spend endless hours outside.   She is also our very own garage sale extraordinaire

Our “Life of the Party” girl spends countless hours cheering on her children in baseball, dance, and football. She is a sports fanatic and loves to visit baseball stadiums throughout the United States.  Sarah spent her early working years as a flight attendant but declares, “She loves orthodontics”.  She has worked with Dr. Chad for many years and we couldn’t be happier that she continues to “love it here at TC Orthodontics”.

Slight of stature but big in convictions.  She makes light of any task put in front of her and tackles everything with that fierce conviction we have come to know and love.  She  loves  country music, golf, reading, animals, animals and more animals.  Her golden retriever Rory takes top billing in her life (sorry Andrew!) and nieces and nephews round out her active lifestyle!  Watch out world – Megan is coming!  Fun fact, Julie and Megan are cousins!

Julie came to us from a pediatric dental office and has astounded us with her technical clinical abilities.  Her calm demeanor is one that we admire as she guides and orchestrates the clinical flow for our patients.  She loves summer and all things in the sunshine.   A perfect day would end with a campfire and cocktails while listening to country music.  We worry about the day that her lifelong dream of becoming a stay at home becomes a reality and we lose this lovely personality.

Luck was our lady when Cali was chosen to do her dental assisting externship at our office and we loved her so much we couldn’t let her go.  Skillful, detail oriented and dependable are some of Cali’s best qualities.  Our patients are lucky to have the care and concern of this genuine person taking care of their orthodontic needs. Confident in her love of arts and crafts we know all her talent will be evident on her “best day ever”.

Our newest team member who quickly became a favorite among staff members and patients alike is a bubbly likeable personality.  The smile that lights up a room along with a deep down compassion that is unmistakable. She is a lover of ll her animals: dogs, Grizzly Bear, Chanel and three cats:  Neenee, Birdy, and  Peanut. She is officially the winner of the most pet’s award at TC Orthodontics.  She claims San Diego as her best trip to date and dreams of one day traveling to Italy.  Stay forever Suzanna!

When we think about a fairy godmother at TC Orthodontics we think of Vicki.  She literally knows everything and is a valuable resource for us all.  Vicki is the one everyone looks up to for advice and words of encouragement.  She always tells us what we need to hear.  Vicki loves spending time in the sun whether it be tending to her multiple flower gardens, hiking the country's national parks, camping or reading.
